Sugar Activities

Sugar does advocate the concepts of activities - you learn through doing, so if you want more learning you want more doing. So the Sugar Labs team wants to get engaged at Linuxtag:

We will have a booth located at 7.2a 110a.
Greg gives the talk: "Education, Innovation, and Free Software" (Saturday, 27.06 - 15.00-16.00 Saal 5)
Simon gives the talk: Sugar - a software playground for learning about learning" (Saturday, 27.06 - 17.00 Saal 5)
Sebastian will be giving a barcamp session at FUDCon about various educational efforts, mainly SoaS (Linuxtag Fudcon project)
Pablo Casal and Eduardo Blanco from Netlabs are giving the talk: "Plan Ceibal - A country-wide OLPC deployment in Uruguay" (Saturday 27.06 - 16.00 Saal 5). They designed the initial proposal for Ceibal's network, and are currently consultants for the project.

Sugar Booth

Our booth will be at 7.2a 110a. We share this booth with our friends from:

Please list your availability if you are interested in helping with the booth. Or if you already know which shifts you want to take, feel free to add yourself in the second table. German skills are welcome - but not needed. Ideally a shift is two people, but given the space reserved at the booth size I think we can get away with one as well. Helping at the booth means answering questions regarding Sugar and Sugar Labs, demoing Sugar and flashing Soas on request. People helping at the booth will get a Linuxtag ticket.
