Gonzalo Zabala, Ricardo Moran and Argentinean friends, it was wonderful to meet you too and to learn the differences between Argentinean and Uruguayan truco, a local card game !!!! ( not that I could really learn it!) And let´s plan the Argentinean Squeakfest for next year! I just loved the idea!

Just sharing that Squeakfest in Uruguay has been a wonderful experience. It was great to visit Uruguay, the one to one country! To meet Rita, Randy and many Uruguayan teachers that have been to Porto Alegre for Squeakfest 2009, and to be part of panels with Uruguayans reps from government and researchers to learn from their visions and to hear the real challenges coming from the fields. I would like to thank Mariana, Universidad Catolica, Ceibal, Rita Freudenberg and everybody that collaborated to make it happen. There were over 400 participants, most of them school teachers. Introductory level Etoys workshops happened as concurrent sessions. There is a new list (message bellow) created from the event, and since I got home on Sunday I am delighted to see more and more emails from Uruguayan teachers thanking Mariana and congratulating her for the event. There are also many teachers from the rural areas asking for Etoys courses in their departments ( counties or micro regions). The message bellow shows that Etoys Workshops for the rural area are already being planned. Mariana, hats off for you! you made it happen!

New Graphing tools
by Ricardo Moran 25 May '11

25 May '11

Hi guys, following Bert's request I've resumed some of my work for GSoC hoping that it could be included in the next Etoys release :) This is a new version (a complete rewrite, actually) of the graphing tools. This time I've followed Steve's idea of a simple number line object and the ability to change the scale of the playfield so that kids could make their own graphs (you can find the original conversation in this old thread<http://answerpot.com/showthread.php?899620-Copying+Graphing+tools+and+Speec…> ). You can see in the attached project that the playfield includes two new objects (horizontal number line and vertical number line). This objects have an extra category called "number line" with a few properties such as: * increment * min/max value * scale You can change the scale to define how much pixels will mean a unit of the number line. The increment will define the distance between labels. You will also find a new category on Playfield named "coordinate system". This category has: * origin at center? * origin * scale x * scale y Using this properties you can define a different coordinate system for the objects you throw inside the playfield. In the attached example I defined a playfield with the origin at 50@50 (this means 50 pixels from the bottom and left sides), an x scale of 1, and an y scale of 30. You can see how the position of the star changes acording to this scale while you move it inside the playfield and how it returns to its original scale when you pick it up and drop it outside the playfield. For now it's just a proof of concept. A lot of things still don't use this new scaling (i.e. #forward:). But I want to know what you think about this direction. Also, how much time do we have until the deadline? I have two exams tomorrow so I'm probably off for today. We can discuss this stuff at SqueakFest :) See some of you in Montevideo! Cheers, Richo

by Bert Freudenberg 18 May '11

18 May '11

In previous years, there were always interesting C5 contributions related to Squeak or Etoys. Very nice conference :) - Bert - The 10th International Conference on Creating, Connecting and Collaborating through Computing (C5 2012) 18-20 January 2012 Playa Vista, CA USA http://www.cm.is.ritsumei.ac.jp/c5-12/ Hosted by the USC Institute for Creative Technologies http://www.ict.usc.edu Computers, networks, and other forms of technology are pervasive in our information-based society. Unfortunately, most users of this technology use it for passive consumption of information and entertainment. To evolve into a true knowledge society it is critical that we transform computer-based human activities to engage users in the active process of creating, connecting, and collaborating together. The C5 conference is for anyone interested in the use of computers as tools to develop and enable user-oriented creation, connection, and collaboration processes. Researchers, developers, educators and users come together at C5 to present new and ongoing work and to discuss future directions for creative computing and multimedia environments. We welcome the submission of theoretical and technical papers, practitioner/experience reports, and papers that bridge the gap between theory and practice or that encourage inter- and cross-disciplinary study. === Keynote Speakers === "Helping Everyone Create with Computing" Dr. Mark Guzdial Georgia Institute of Technology "C2P3: Creating and Controlling Personalisation and Privacy in Pervasive Digital Ecosystems" Dr. Judy Kay University of Sydney === Topics === C5 invites submissions of full papers in (but not limited to) the following areas: - Technology-enhanced human-computer and human-human interaction and collaboration - Virtual worlds and immersive environments - Educational environments for classroom, field work and online/distance learning - New technologies for literature, music and the visual arts - Technologies for collaborative and self-empowered learning - Multimedia authoring environments - Gaming/entertainment platforms, virtual characters, and software infrastructure - Social networks and social networking - Novel programming paradigms and languages for implementors - Scripting or visual paradigms and languages for end-users - Creating and maintaining online communities - Tools for creating/managing online services/environments - Distributed and collaborative working - Social and cultural implications of new technologies Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format via EasyChair at: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=c512 Submissions must be written in English (the official language of the conference) and must not exceed eight (8) pages. They should use the IEEE 10-point two-column format, templates for which are available at: http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/home === Proceedings === A preliminary version of the proceedings will be distributed during the conference. The formal version of the proceedings will be published by the Conference Publishing Services (CPS) and sent to authors after the conference. For each accepted paper, at least one of the authors needs to attend the conference and deliver the presentation; otherwise the paper will not be included in the formal proceedings. === Dates === Submission of papers: October 7, 2011 Author notification: November 18, 2011 Camera-ready copy: December 16, 2011 Conference: January 18-20, 2012 http://people.ict.usc.edu/~lane/C5/C5-12-CFP.pdf
