[Marketing] [IAEP] Texas Tech University work with XO/Sugar

[Sean DALY]

Wow I can't wait to see that (can't on this machine)

I'm interested in transcoding this to Ogg Theora, do you think we
could ask him for a higher-quality source version I could transcode?

is it CC, could we put it up on the Dailymotion site?

Texas is Dell Foundation country. Hmmm...
