Re: [Sugar-devel] SoaS Meeting TODAY at 10.30 EDT

I'm sorry I missed this. Re deployments. I think (beyond Local Labs) we need to reflect on how to create an ecosystem for providers to schools - deployers. We absolutely need to be present ourselves at pilots (I hope to start one or two in Paris), but that's only because we have lacked the feedbac
