Dear Madhur, Thank you for sending notice of your Conference to the Squeakland community. I wish Viewpoints would be able to send someone to present, but we have other meetings already planned during this timeframe, so we must regret participating. We hope some member(s) of the greater Etoy community will be able to attend and share their experiences, etc., with your group. We do wish you the best for your Conference. with warm regards, Kim On Aug 17, 2008, at 2:15 AM, SeaGate Instiute of Technology wrote:

Call for Papers - C5-09 Kyoto Japan January 19-22, 2009

Kim Rose — 2008-07-26T02:13:26

Call for Papers - C5-09 The Seventh International Conference on Creating, Connecting and Collaborating through Computing (C5 2009) January 19-22, 2009 Kyoto, Japan http://www.cm.is.ritsumei.ac.jp/c5-09/ Computers, networks, and other forms of technology are now pervasive in our information-based society. However, most users still function as passive consumers of technology. 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 researchers, technology developers, educators, and technology users who are concerned about developing and enabling human-oriented creation, connection, and collaboration processes. C5 is an international forum for presenting ongoing work as well as new work currently under development and for discussing future needs and directions in creative computing and multimedia authoring environments.

Hi, the projects were made using squeakPlugin.image from squeakland which is the version intended for education, projects are working with the OLPC image too , intended for the OLPC project: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/The_OLPC_Wiki, The morphism project has a change set which is modifying the image adding a new category to the polygon family. Change in the code in more recent images are producing errors. I have added a new project for 3.9 image http://swiki.ofset.org:8000/super/346 You can load the attached changeset file if you prefer . If you want have the change permanent you can use the world menu and save the image either with the same name or better with a new name. I'll check the projects and add 3.9 versions if needed. So watch the pages.

forward command will not go beyond the fence if the playfield option "fence enabled" is set. So it will not wrap around. If you want morphs to wrap around in a playfield, turn the fence off (see attached project).
