[Marketing] Ars Technica article on 250, 000 XO-1s for India: old Sugar home view in photo :-(

[Christian Marc Schmidt]

Hi Walter


I agree it would be good to also take some process shots. Kids using Sugar
(ideally in the classroom) would be great, and I think we already have a few
shots we can use for that. Maybe someone could gather all the  images we
have along those lines and store them on the wiki in a central place?

In addition, though, I think it would still be useful to have a repertoire
of studio shots showing only the product (Sugar) in context (various laptop
models). We can use these on the website and in situations where we talk
specifically about the technology.
