[Marketing] Fwd: SIIA Innov. Inc Prog: Uploading Your Materials/Submitting Your $50 Application Fee

[Caroline Meeks]

We got a no on submitting a video.  :( So we need 10 slides and a 1 minute
vocal.
I have a crazy idea.  For the PPT you can submit a pdf.  What do you guys
think about submitting the Cartoon Web Page.
http://www.sugarlabs.org/index.php?template=page&page=learners

It has 13 panels but its a darn good description of Sugar on a Stick and it
would certainly make us look different.

The alternative is picking 10 slides from Caryl's slide show.

Thoughts?

 Hi Caroline,

Video cannot be used in this phase. Given the technical restrictions for
this round of judging we are limitting the review information to those
things that are posted.
