We are hoping that the kids can create a US version of the Uruguay geography/facts game. Any ideas on how to make that easy to do? The vision is they will learn things in class then make them into questions to put into the game. We will meet with the third grade on Thursday afternoons.

* Can't get Computer Lab Machines to Boot from USB''' - The BIOS says it should be trying to boot from the USB but its not looking at the USB. A google search confirms that this is not a sugar problem, its an EVO D500 problem. I'm hoping we find a solution. http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/599

* [[http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/579 Ticket 579]]. We have several donated computers. A requirement for the donations was that we wiped the harddrives. Thus it would be great if we had an installable operating system enabled quick user switching between USBs. This is also impacted by 907, described below.

* [[http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/598 Ticket 598]] and [[http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/907 Ticket 907]] . One way to enable faster switching between Windows and Sugar is a Virtual Machine solution that will allow students to put in their USB Sticks and use all the personal data from the Sticks so they can use any computer. To do this we need to change the way we put data onto the USB and use different partitions for the boot and the data (Ticket 907).
