My name is Paulo Trezentos. I'm technical director of Caixa Mágica. Can you please give me more information about yourselves and the idea? BTW, I was chairman of Scott Ananian's talk in FISL. Is the same Sugar project where Scott is involved? Cheers. Eduardo H.

This would best be answered by them, so I'm CCing Caixa Magica general e-mail. Just for background to Caixa Mágica folk: a new version of the Sugar learning environment (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://sugarlabs.org/go/Main_Page">http://sugarlabs.org/go/Main_Page</a>) has been released ( <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://sugarlabs.org/go/ReleaseTeam/Releases/Sucrose/0.82">http://sugarlabs.org/go/ReleaseTeam/Releases/Sucrose/0.82</a> ) and will be in the next versions of some major distros (at least Ubuntu, Fedora and OpenSuse). The question is, how could the future users of Caixa Mágica in Magalhães get Sugar with the smallest fuss possible (for all parties, kids, teachers, schools, but from you as well)? And some more questions bellow, like, how would packaging Sugar in Mandriva help you, CM folk, to provide it as an alternative desktop to the users of Magalhães? Eduardo </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">David, have you already approached the Mandriva community about this as part of your outreach efforts? Do you know of any effort on which CM could build their own packaging work? Thanks, Tomeu </pre> </blockquote> </blockquote> <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- _____________________________________ | Caixa Mágica | - Energia Open Source | <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.caixamagica.pt">http://www.caixamagica.pt</a> </pre> </body> </html>
