SkoleLinux is a very professional organization that has had a great deal of success deploying their Debian educational software in schools around the world. Sugar Labs can earn a great deal from SkoleLinux's experiences. Hopefully, in return, Sugar can become a valuable component in the SkoleLinux product line. david _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
