Dear Sugar Activity Maintainers and other volunteers with packaging abilities,<br><br>We would love your help in packaging your Sugar Activities so they can be used with Sugar on a Stick.<br><br>What is Sugar on a Stick? It is a Live USB based distribution of Sugar. The idea is to give each student a full Sugar experience on any computer they have access to with just the cost of a 1 or 2 GB USB stick. This could make make Sugar very affordable in US urban schools, many of which have older computers already, and are in the shadows of corporations that throw out hunderds and thousands of computers each year.<br>
<br>We will be starting a Pilot of Sugar on a Stick at Gardner School, an urban Boston School with 90% eligibility for free and reduced lunch. We have people around the world ready to try it. It could be a promising way to use containers full of computers in Africa, it could be a great way to let people try Sugar at conferences and an easy way for people to learn to use Sugar.<br>
<br>We have the basics working - <a href="http://sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick">http://sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick</a><br><br>But Sugar without activities is boring!! We need you and your activities! Please help us get activities quickly ported to Sugar on a Stick, we have a lot of people pounding on our doors to try it.<br>
<br>Here is the status of activities packaging: <a href="http://sugarlabs.org/go/DevelopmentTeam/Activities_packaging">http://sugarlabs.org/go/DevelopmentTeam/Activities_packaging</a> - Marco is coordinating the technical effort if you have any questions or need help.<br>
