[IAEP] Fwd: System76 [Computers loaded w/ Ubuntu] Partners with Kids On Computers

[Tomeu Vizoso]

Stormy is GNOME's Executive Director, we may be able to strike a deal
with dual boot similar to OLPC's. She has shown interest in GNOME and
SLs working together in some areas.

But we need someone to take ownership of this (quite small) task.

Regards,

Tomeu
