The second phase is packaging. Sugar Labs needed to reduce the barrier to entry to test and use Sugar. Greg and his team have been getting Sugar prepared on [[Community/Distributions/Fedora]]. Jonas has been shouldering the load at [[Community/Distributions/Debian]]. Morgan, Luke and James have been getting Sugar ready to ship on [[Community/Distributions/Ubuntu]].

We are a few weeks away from Fedora based liveCDs and liveUSBs. Ubuntu will follow when some Abiword version issues are resolved.

We have still have a way to go before Sugar is available on all desktops. Our next step in the packaging phase is to work on the server side

==Phase 3. Partnering==
The third phase is partnering. Sugar Labs needs to partner with existing open source in education projects. Some of the most successful projects are [www.skolelinux.org SkoleLinux], a Debian based project that has had good penetration in Northern Europe. In the next few months they will be join [www.linex.org LinEx], a distribution which originated in the Extremadura region of Spain. [k12linux.org K12Linux], formally know as k12LTSP, is base on the Linux Terminal Server Project. [edubuntu.org Edubuntu] is Ubuntu's education projects.

The end goal is placing Sugar in front of students. Realistically, we are six-months away (as of October 2008) from non-OLPC turn-key deployments. In the meantime, we need to start developing a network of early adopters and technically proficient teachers to pull us forward.
