* In July 2010, Paraguay Educa chose the name '''[[Dextrose|Dextrose]]''' (approximately acronymized from "DEployments' Xo OS") for their release of Sugar 0.88 on Fedora 11 for XO laptops ([http://www.mail-archive.com/marketing@lists.sugarlabs.org/msg01213.html announcement]). The molecule [[wikipedia:Dextrose|Dextrose]] is the dextrorotatory form of glucose or D-glucose, the sugar in blood and other living systems. So, it represents a vital infusion for the project.
