Hi Tony,
+1 on this.
BTW Sugar/Python is not the only way to grow user base.
For your information, we're currently deploying Sugarizer in 3 schools
in the Saint-Ouen city near Paris. It means about 150 Android tablets
with Sugarizer OS installed on it, used by few hundred children.
That's great, but it really needs to be documented. Has there been any
media coverage, or other articles written about your efforts? if not,
would you be willing to write an article about it, with some depth? I'd
be genuinely interested to learn more about the project.
Regards.
Lionel.

What Sugar Labs needs to survive is users. If our count of active
users
reaches zero, there will be no need for developers (or Sugar Labs).
A Conference like PyCon is an opportunity to show that Sugar is a
viable
educational platform. So marketing does not need to be concerned
about
$, it needs to be concerned about the characteristics of Sugar
that make
it an attractive option for educators. At such a conference it is
possible to make presentations - ofen there is an educational track.
More importantly there is an opportunity to have an exhibit (booth).
This booth can provide many examples of Sugar running on platforms
other
than the XO (make sure there some XO pictures visible since this
attracts interest to a booth.) Sugarizer can demonstrate that
Sugar is
available for smartphones, tablets and other devices. Sugar can
show its
capabilities on Ubuntu, Raspbian. Windows is a special case since
Miccrosoft has been able to lock educators into Windows. Showing that
Sugar is viable in a Windows-based deployment may be beyond our
current
cabability.
Our goal should be to attract new contributors and to find new
deployment opportunities.
Tony
