Re: [Sugar-devel] The future of Sugar on XO-1s

Dave, This is an example of how powerful our community could be. Naturally, we would need to nail down this price - Amazon quotes about $10 each. There has been a lot of discussion in the community on the viability of sd cards from different manufacturers. With a little effort we may be able

Re: [Sugar-devel] The future of Sugar on XO-1s

AFIK, the Government of Rwanda annual fiscal year begins July 1. Some one may have access to the records, but there are probably 1000 XO-1s deployed there. Does any one have an idea of the cost of 1000 32GB SD cards? Perhaps, that could be added to the MinEduc budget. The cost to deploy the SD

Hi, Dave There are a number of projects to put Linux on Android devices, e.g. http://linuxonandroid.org/. I could see an openWRT scenario in which there would be an inventory of Android products which support a Linux install (possibly with specific install instructions and even images).

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

Still on the issue of Marketing, I think a website integration will also help in driving traffic to SugarLabs. A ad-like advertisement on our personal blogs or website will help also. Not saying we should venture into buying spaces for ads (unless necessary). I will work on the designing aspect

Re: [Sugar-devel] [Marketing] 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

Oh, yes I agree with you totally, can't believe how I didn't think of it from that perspective. Internet.org once, Free Basics again, we never know what it will come up with next to disrupt the entire state of the internet. Also, it's great to hear that Sugar is trying to raise awareness about the

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

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: [Sugar-devel] [Marketing] 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.
