Proposal from OLPC Paraguay on how to manage Sugar or other educational software
,----[ Quote ]
| The project to deliver One Laptop Per Child
| (OLPC) for educational purpose in developing
| countries is doing great in Paraguay. According
| to developer Bernie Innocenti, this success
| comes from a way to manage the development of
| the Sugar educational software that other
| countries (or any other similar projects, see
| for example the Teachermate or the italian
| JumpPC) could and should imitate.

New Sugar on a Stick Brings Much Needed Improvements
,----[ Quote ]
| My first impression was how incredibly easy it
| is to obtain and install on your memory stick.
| Fedora has released a flash installation tool
| that handles downloading and imaging the flash
| drive on Windows systems. (There are
| installation instructions for other operating
| systems as well.) Not only is this tool
| available for use to install Sugar on a Stick,
| but you can also test drive other Fedora Linux
| distributions. The tool also allows you to
| partition off some space to save your documents
| to when in the Linux environment. Keep in mind
| that when you run this utility you will wipe
| anything on the memory stick.
