2. LiveCD/LiveUSB updates: Carolyn Meeks and Marco Pesenti Gritti continue to work on improvements to the bootable Sugar USB. Marco has a new Fedora-based LiveCD image ([http://www.sugarlabs.org/~marco/sugar-livecd-1marco.iso sugar-livecd-1marco.iso]) and is working on a CD that will launch a USB image (since many older machines are not configured by default to boot off of a USB drive). Sebatian Dziallas and Luke Macken have created an updated version of the Fedora/Sugar LiveCD ([http://sdz.fedorapeople.org/olpc/sugar-spin.iso sugar-spin.iso] and has made a LiveUSB creator available ([http://sdz.fedorapeople.org/olpc/liveusb-creator-3.0.zip liveusb-creator-3.0.zip])—you can run liveusb-creator on Windows Vista (XP hopefully coming soon) to generate the latest Sugar spin on a USB key. Meanwhile, Carolyn continues to visit schools, testing builds, and gathering data as to the best ways to do simple, low-risk Sugar deployments in schools without the resources to buy dedicated laptops. | 2.
