Friends,
You may already have heard the news, but I wanted to take a moment to
let you know that I have just concluded my tenure as Engineering

customisation stick as an extremely useful complement to OOB, not a

If there's no interest at OLPCA to maintain it, what we to continue it?

Thanks for testing the teacher training customisations. This allows us
