Hello All, I've been speaking with Bill Kerr and Bernie about establishing an AU local lab for a few weeks now[0]. More recently I've been talking to Pia, who is setting up the http://olpcfriends.org community, and Rangan, who is the Executive Director[1] of OLPC-AU, and among other things is running a "G1G1" for Australians. We've got lots of interest in Sugar, and a number of people who are setting up their own groups to work on it (weather that is Sugar directly, or under the name of various OLPC groups). Working out where a local lab fits into all of the above is something I've been spending some time thinking about recently. My current thought is perhaps Sugar Labs is a common banner to group contributors under, as a place for meeting, sharing and discussing online. They can then take that with them as they go out to trials, deployments, and other groups. Do you have any thoughts? Joel [0] offlist. This thread is a good reminder (to me) of why it's good to have discussions onlist [1] I think he should be the executive officer, so we can call him the XO :) _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
