== Sugar deployment ==
I've been helping Bill Kerr[http://billkerr2.blogspot.com/], a teacher at a local school who have been trialling Sugar in the classroom, using Live images on USB keys. The Live-USB method allows them to use a slightly-dated lab full of Dell machines that normally run Windows XP to run Sugar, without having to get the school sysadmin involved.
The class has been using first a 650-based build, and more recently a 0.82 release of Sugar for a semester. They have maintained a wiki[http://xo-whs.wikispaces.com/] on the topic.

I'm slowly developing my public speaking skills by giving talks to groups - teachers, hackers, uni and highschool students - initially about OLPC, but now about Sugar in it's many forms.
