Do we really need a single installer? I mean I see it would be ideal
but it feels like it might be tricky licensing, implementation and
maintenance wise.
From what I understand from Thomas, after installing VirtualBox, it's
just downloading and clicking on an icon (I should really try it but
I'm on a bad connection these days). It might not be perfect but
it doesn't really sound bad, what is stopping us marketing Sugar this
way really?

Not only doable, has been done for some time now [1,2] and is

The Oracle PUEL license [3] very interestingly permits free
redistribution for educational purposes, opening the possibility
of a single installer, ideal for our needs.
In the past I have suggested approaching Oracle for a marketing
partnership under a CSR (corporate social responsibility) banner.

I hope a new sugar-desktop will become available. I see that
latest in
build system was for : sugar 0.96.3:
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/OpenSUSE#Sugar_12.1
ok: I hopefully brought most of the packages to the current/stable
version (not 0.99x, but, hey: 0.98).
But now I need to ask the maintainers about the final setup, the
publishing (some packages have explicitely set "no publishing") and
some special packages.
For the first "problem", I guess someone just needs to go throught the
packages and check their (publish/build) settings, so that we get a
final release once everything built as expected.
...but I'm unsure about SDL (upgrade) and the olpcsound package
(upgrate from 5.10 to 6.01). Any preferences? Any ideas?
With kind regards,

At least the virtualbox looks doable and a good way to show

The larger problem is the absence of a marketing
strategy, we need to know where we are going to
communicate effectively. In particular, we need to
choose and implement how to offer Sugar tryout to
teachers and journalists.
I can think of a couple of approaches
* Get Sugar running well on the CuBox-i. Find budget to
buy a few of those to distribute to chosen journalist and
teachers. Try to partner with SolidRun to offer Sugar as
an out-of-the-box installation option.
* Make it easy to run Sugar inside VirtualBox on Windows
and OS X. Without having investigated too deeply it
seems that a two step process would be both realistically
implementable and easy enough for the user
1 Install virtualbox
2 Install a Sugar application (which would take care of
setting up the appliance).
Thoughts? Other ideas? If we can agree on one or two
concrete, realistic approaches, I think we can at least
attempt to get them done for 3.102.
