[IAEP] Requesting Feedback MarketLab Opportunity

[Christoph Derndorfer]

One area inside marketing that could be interesting for them to work on
is communicating that Sugar isn't tied to the XO anymore. I think having
other (netbook) manufacturers also offer Sugar as a pre-installed
environment or just mentioning that Sugar runs on their machines would
be a great step forward.

Also can't wait to hear what Sean has in mind here! :-)

Cheers,
Christoph
