Hi everybody (and sorry if you receive multiple copies), It's been a while since our last version but we're proud to announce a new release of Physical Etoys. You can download it from here: http://tecnodacta.com.ar/gira/projects/physical-etoys/ This new version includes: * Full support for the DuinoBot kit ( http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1689254125/multiplo-create-your-own-rob… ). * New objects such as the Timer and the IR receiver. * More example projects to help you get started. * And of course, lots of bug fixes and minor UI enhancements. All in all, this version is much better than the previous and we hope you would enjoy it as much as we do :). Thanks! Richo

It took me while to realize that I forwarded it to a wrong list... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Alan Kay <alan.nemo(a)yahoo.com> Date: Tue, Apr 2, 2013 at 11:57 AM Subject: Re: Fwd: [squeakland] The Dynabook and modern computing To: Yoshiki Ohshima <Yoshiki.Ohshima(a)acm.org> Cc: Bert Freudenberg <bert(a)freudenbergs.de> Ask him: how did the invention of agriculture influence "civilization"? Or: what is ultimately more powerful, competition or cooperation? Cheers, Alan ________________________________ From: Yoshiki Ohshima <Yoshiki.Ohshima(a)acm.org> To: Alan Kay <alan.nemo(a)yahoo.com> Cc: Bert Freudenberg <bert(a)freudenbergs.de> Sent: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 11:47 AM Subject: Fwd: [squeakland] The Dynabook and modern computing Benoit is asking this. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Benoît Fleury <benoit.fleury(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, Apr 2, 2013 at 11:36 AM Subject: Re: [squeakland] The Dynabook and modern computing To: Bert Freudenberg <bert(a)freudenbergs.de> Cc: IAEP SugarLabs <iaep(a)lists.sugarlabs.org>, squeakland list <squeakland(a)squeakland.org> Thank you Bert for the link. I am not sure to understand this metaphor with agriculture. "One way to think of all of these organizations is to realize that if they require a charismatic leader who will shoot people in the knees when needed, then the corporate organization and process is a failure. It means no group can come up with a good decision and make it stick just because it is a good idea. All the companies I’ve worked for have this deep problem of devolving to something like the hunting and gathering cultures of 100,000 years ago. If businesses could find a way to invent “agriculture” we could put the world back together and all would prosper." If someone could explain me what it means. Thanks, Benoit.
