We are having a short work week this time because of the national holiday of July 4th. We have a full FOSSbox of mentors, including some from Red Hat and a Mozilla rep. Its quite the place to be hacking atm. On Monday, I was still hacking on the Sash activity. This activity is going to be what the students use to view their badges that they earn. If anyone wants to contribute to this project, it's GitHub repo is located Here. I've gotten Sash to the point where it shows up on the XO properly with a simple icon, but it only has dummy code in it so far. Also, I was presented with the idea of making an activity Quick-start that could get a dev working on a working activity without having to research how to make one from scratch. This repo can be found here Activity Quick Start. The README.md file is a tutorial with some trouble shooting for posterity's sake.

Julython is in full swing. Julython is basically an event that tracks the number of commits in the month of July. Check it out: Julython.org. I've been having some trouble with getting myself to appear on the FOSS@RIT team so it counts my commits. I believe that it is because I used a different address that wasn't hooked into my GitHub account. After fixing this mix up, I'm just waiting for the site to update to see if it registers my account correctly.

Next on the plate is working on cleaning up Sky-Time and adding the most recent version to GitHub. After that I'm going to be working on sash to get images to display correctly with all the metadata of a badge where it needs to be. Ill still need to mock up how Sash is going to look and how it displays badges. See you next time when we have some new works or complications!
