We are planning on 15-16 Nov. a CodeCamp ( http://olpc-france.org/wiki/index.php?title=CodeCamp_OLPC_France/La_Cantine ). One of the possible workshop will be a "sugarize-workshop" during which we will experiment the installation of sugar on various platforms with various methods (external media, HD installation, emulation, liveCD, etc.). We have contacted some netbook-manufacturers to this end... but we are at the very beginning of our reflexion.
We want to demonstrate the versatility of the sugar environment and the activities initially developped for the xo an to ping more ministers (Lionel Laské and Bastien Guerry meet a few weeks ago with the cabinet of the French Minister in charge of the "économie numérique" and we will continue.
