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]].

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.
