[IAEP] FW: Texas Tech University work with XO/Sugar

[John Tierney]

Sean and Tomeu,

Just a little update on this video. If you would like Rich to go ahead and get this
ready for Sugar Labs use, he has offered to do so in early July.

Let me know!

> Glad you found the Spectrum video interesting. We made the movie for a luncheon talk and would need to make some adjustments (and shorten it) for public viewing off Sugar Labs. I could look at doing that in early July if you're interested, after I return from the Computers and Writing Conference. Right now it includes some sound and lower-leveling on the audio that I'd want to fix first. Looking forward to playing with Sugar later this summer.
