Our Plans
Make sensors for TurtleArt - Mel Chua will be in Wellington for Saturday 31 January and has offered to help us build sensors for the XOs to use in TurtleArt. Mel is also eager to learn about and document how the Welly test group works, because of interest in starting a similar group back in Boston.
Test request for this Saturday - the developer of TurtleArt has requested we test this for him. ;-)
Focus for 27 January was Walter Bender visiting - sugarlabs founder - event hosted by Catalyst New Zealand - OLPC Wellington, Computer Clubhouse and Catalyst IT Ltd invited interested parties to meet Walter Bender, founder of sugarlabs, a non-profit foundation. The venue was Catalyst House, 150 Willis Street, Wellington.
