The community outreach roadmap I have been working on: Engage Linux distributions. a. Make sure they are aware of Sugar. b. Help build a community within each distribution to packages Sugar + Activities. c. Help expand community include testers, developers, and translators. 2. Engage education focused distributions. a. Make sure they are aware of the packaging efforts on either .deb or .rpm. b,c. repeat a and c from step 1. 3. Engage the OSS in education community. repeat a, b, c in step 2. Progress: 1a. Ongoing - 1b. Initial Phase - Working with Debian and Ubuntu. Greg is working with Fedora and Redhat. 1c. Will start when basic set of stable packages are available for their parent distribution. 2a. Initial Phase - Identifying and establishing contact with edu distros. 2b todo 2c todo 3a. Initial Phase - Identifying and establishing contact with education communities. 3b todo 3c todo This bottom up approach should augment OLPC top down approach quite nicely. Suggestions welcome. thanks dfarning _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
