Bill, do you have time to help start engaging educators in Sugar and Sugar Labs? I am trying to figure out how best to support micro sugar deployments. Some rational 1. Every time OLPC attempts to establish a large scale deployment, our main competitor is right behind them using whatever means are necessary to block the deployment. By augmenting the OLPC deployment approach with 10s, 100s, or 1000s of micro deployments, our competitor will be forced to fight many little fires. 2. Active contributor turnaround time. If we start by focusing on education organizations with an interest in open source development, we can increase the number of active contributors in a shorter period of time. 3. At Sugar Labs we have been spending all of our time and effort on the technical issues relating to the learning environment project. It seems time to start working on the educational aspects projects. This is still early in the brain storm phase.
