:D yes Ignacio I know you are I did a press release about you haha :D my point is, not everybody wants the same thing out of facebook. Personally, I like figurative art and I "like" fb pages on that topic. But it doesn't matter what I like, what matters is what our target audience likes. My point

Re: [Marketing] facebook page

Thanks for this Samson note that the format is xlsx, not xls, I had to rename the extension to load it into OpenOffice I'm aware that the numbers are very low. Once SL chooses its vision and roadmap, we can develop a marketing strategy and do stuff. thanks Sean On Thu, Apr 7, 2016 at 5:19 PM,

Re: [Marketing] [Sugar-devel] Sugar on Facebook app(Sugarizer)(sugar activities))

not really the whole sugarizer, probably its activities. because i was checking up Facebook education category it seems like not much education app present. So this is the perfect time to strike in the category. About the gaming we should upload it differently. Sugarizer is a education software

Re: [Marketing] [Sugar-devel] Sugar on Facebook app(Sugarizer)(sugar activities))

As Facebook user, I think that Sugarizer wouldn't have success. What I mean, when I look through Facebook "market", I try to find games that my friends play, so it can be more ¿cool?. Probably if we publish Sugarizer it would have 50-200 monthly users. I prefer to use sugarizer in it official

Hi You are probably more familiar than I am with the facebook free basics fiasco. Facebook seeks to establish itself as a grand gateway to what the internet can do, and the software freedom movement yearns to make Facebook obsolete. (eg, see

Re: [Marketing] [Sugar-devel] Sugar on Facebook app(Sugarizer)(sugar activities))

Hi Dave, I can see why you want to limit the app on facebook, but don't you think that it would be better if everyone could have the full sugar/sugarizer experience independent of where they are using it currently (facebook in this case)? If it is technically not possible to run the entire

Re: [Marketing] [Sugar-devel] Sugar on Facebook app(Sugarizer)(sugar activities))

I think facebook app/game versions of sugar activities is smart marketing, but I would suggest making them a little limited, to get people hooked on them, and then telling people to upgrade to the main http://server.sugarizer.org app to play the next level.

Re: [Marketing] [Sugar-devel] Sugar on Facebook app(Sugarizer)(sugar activities))

I can certainly help with directing a lot of traffic to our facebook page as well as other social media accounts, I will start right away if everyone's willing. I propose to incorporate a social media feed on our website to increase the interactivity here. I am also working on the redesigning
