I just read a pdf of the press release 3hrs ago and got the shock of my life :-) I'm working on getting a release of Labyrinth based code together. Perhaps a day or two, or over the weekend – the original UI is really not clean/simple enough for us (though it works fine as is if you know all the tricks). --Gary -Wade ___ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!) i...@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
Re: [Sugar-devel] [IAEP] ars technica
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 dfarn...@sugarlabs.org wrote: On Thu, Mar 26, 2009 at 2:42 PM, Wade Brainerd wad...@gmail.com 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.
