I'm very pleased as well, one of our goals was to make Sugar Labs easy to find and we are excellently referenced in Google, Google News, and Google Blogs now - I check several times a day every day.
Another goal was to turn the tide of negative press and an article like this is of course helpful in that regard. Although I have mailed to nearly all of our targeted English and French language journalists, I am still sending to targeted educators. I am working on an article for OLPCNews to reach out to G1G1 owners to try Sugar and help us with bug reports. Please, if there is anyone who can help translating our press release into Portugese, Italian, or any other language besides the four we had at launch, I would be very grateful. thanks Sean Marketing Coordinator On Thu, Mar 26, 2009 at 8:58 PM, David Farning <[email protected]> wrote: > On Thu, Mar 26, 2009 at 2:42 PM, Wade Brainerd <[email protected]> wrote: >> http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2009/03/sugar-labs-announces-new-version-of-sugar-learning-platform.ars >> Nice to see a positive article from Ars (if it is straight from the press >> release), since they panned just about everything OLPC did. > > Also interesting is how the term Sugar and Sugar Labs are climbing in > the search engins. wiki.sugarlabs.org is now the 6th listing for the > search term 'sugar' in google. > > Along with the positive press, we are now much more findable. > > david > >> BTW, the release mentions a mind map activity.
