Did you know that Music Blocks has a feature to generated visual code from text-based ABC notation?
Last year, Abhijeet Singh developed a way to take ABC notation and transform it into musical code you can use in your Music Blocks (MB) projects. Need a little inspiration? You can now drag and drop some ABC notation from their website into MB.

We've got some great news!!! 🥳
You can now purchase Sugar Labs branded USB sticks with Sugar on a Stick (SoaS) pre-installed! We created this option in response to folks that were contacting us to "buy Sugar". Thanks to our partner USB Memory Direct, you can now purchase a stick for yourself or a loved one and get started with the Sugar on your laptop or PC without flashing the drive yourself.

Here's to the wonderful memories made in 2024, as well as the ones we'll create together in 2025.
