<br>
With the struggle to to get small quantities of XOs into countries and<br>
through customs and getting funding for hardware, Sugar on a Stick is<br>
vital. It has helped us get information out and publicise the great<br>
work going on in developing countries and makes it possible for us to<br>
utilise existing hardware in schools.<br>
<br>
We are giving out SoaS at Software Freedom Day - we have about seventy<br>
USB keys that have been donated to us by Sun Microsystems for this<br>
purpose.<br>
<br>
SoaS allows us much easier means of getting Sugar into government too.<br>
<br>
We initially struggled to get SoaS working and found it hard to get<br>
support from the community. Making SoaS an official project might make<br>
this easier. It would also be good to have a a clear indication of<br>
which is the best version for us to hand out to people (we chose<br>
Strawberry) and which version we should only be testing with.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
