Yesterday an article titled "One Laptop Per Child - The Dream is Over"
appeared on the UN Dispatch web site:

Few people are aware that Sugar [LINK], the collaborative learning
environment developed for the One Laptop Per Child project, is now an
independent Open Source project delivering a rich set of activities for
low-age children.

Sugar can be used with any hardware capable of running a Linux desktop,
including many low-cost netbooks and existing computers in school labs.
Using the Sugar on a Stick (SoaS) [LINK] distribution, children can
carry their personal copy of Sugar in their pockets and use it both in
school and at home.

Perhaps we could send UN Dispatch an entire article about Sugar?  Do we
already have an introductory piece on Sugar suitable for magazines and
blogs?
