[Squeakland News] Squeakland Education Team at Google Doc Camp 2012

Starting Monday, Dec 3, six members of the education team are sitting in an office at Google in Sunnyvale, writing a book for teachers who want to teach Etoys in their classroom. We, that are Kathleen Harness, Avigail Snir, Kathleen Smith, Steve Thomas, Randy Caton and myself, Rita.
We are here with two other teams, and the first day was filled with many activities getting to know each other and talking about general questions regarding writing documentation in a community for open source projects.
On Tuesday afternoon, we started writing our book, starting around 9:00 am and working until 8:30 pm. These are long days, but we are perfectly provided with everything we need during the whole day (and even night, since they also pay the hotel). So we can completely concentrate on writing and discussing. This is the most wonderful time we have as a group since the last time we met face to face at Squeakfest in Wilmington 2010.
On Friday, we will have a new Etoys book!

I can not wait for the new book!

Hope I can help to translate it to Portuguese European, one of these days.

Only success to this wonderful team!

Luis,

Translation help would be wonderful and most appreciated.

Thank you for your kind offer. As soon as we figure out how to get that setup we will let you know.
