* If your project is successfully completed, what will its impact be on the Sugar Labs community? Give 3 answers, each 1-3 paragraphs in length. The first one should be yours. The other two should be answers from members of the Sugar Labs community, at least one of whom should be a Sugar Labs GSoC mentor. Provide email contact information for non-GSoC mentors.

With the completion of this project, Sugar Labs will have a documented procedure to port and deploy applications that are part of the KDE Education Project. This will include about twenty applications, and others that are built using Qt but are not part of KDEEdu. This will save Sugar activity developers from having to write applications that may already exist but are not built for Sugar or using GTK+.
* Sugar Labs will be working to set up a small (5-30 unit) Sugar pilot near each student project that is accepted to GSoC so that you can immediately see how your work affects children in a deployment. We will make arrangements to either supply or find all the equipment needed. Do you have any ideas on where you would like your deployment to be, who you would like to be involved, and how we can help you and the community in your area begin it?

I live in large metropolitan area with a school district that is making large budget cuts. The best way to deploy Sugar in the area would be to contact Orange County Schools, the local school district, and offering to setup Sugar on computers within one of the local schools. Hopefully, in the end the local district will see benefit in switching all of its student used computers to Sugar or another open source system. I could contact a local school if SugarLabs is willing to deploy in my area.
