[IAEP] IAEP Digest, Vol 13, Issue 38

[Kathy Pusztavari]

Being on the west coast (Oregon), I can also empathize.  That said, I think
this is a slow process on a shoe string budget so we will need patience.

I would like to thank all involved.

Please accept my apologies about Sugar Lab's ability to help you.
Your contributions, through spreading the word, are invaluable.
Everyone as SL is currently paying their own way; which the exception of the
GOSC students:) (Go Jamison, Go)

The apparent emphases on the East Cost and Boston is due solely to the fact
that Caroline and Walter happen to live there.  (As a brief, aside we met
Caroline at a conference in Indiana.  Location is not
everything.)  So, transportation is cheap; Bicycle or Prius depending on the
person and distance.  If things work out well for Caroline and Walter, the
lessons they learning doing Sugar deployments, can be applied to the rest of
the world.
