I know the work you are sponsoring must be costing you lots, but if you could sponsor someone to attend the next UDS, I think it will pay off greatly. I have to confess than in the Maverick UDS there was a blueprint about Sugar but I messed the schedule up and attended something else instead :( But once you get there, and if you can find the right person, you can have a much better upstream-downstream conversation than most people think. https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/community-maverick-edubuntu-packages Regards, Tomeu > david > >> Have you installed, or tried to install vanilla(ish) Ubuntu on an >> XO-1.5?
