Something a teacher could read in a minute while walking by. I'll try to work on that soon. The Sugar Learning Platform poster meant nothing to most people. Additionally, it would be really nice to have a projector going to do non-stop 10-minute live demos of Sugar and Activities.<br>
<br>Collaboration is a killer feature of Sugar, and we were largely blocked from demoing that because the wifi channels at the convention center were saturated much of the time. My Verizon MiFi card wouldn't work for the same reason. I will bring a hub/switch with hard wiring next year.</blockquote>

Mike, can you try it at home and let me know if it works for you? We need this to work for both conferences and to put computer clusters into the GPA. </div>

<br>Lastly, I will know to make a pitch way before Denver to pay for our own table in the open source area so that we can plan for a more versatile booth setup with some assurance of enough table space. I'm sure we could hit up the Scratch and Etoys teams next year for help in expanding the booth. I'd also like not to wait a year before doing another education conference and will be looking for opportunities in the DC area in the coming months to keep practicing our elevator pitches and building the field demo kit.</blockquote>
<div><br></div></div><div>There are Computer Using Educator or similar conferences in every state every year, so lots of opportunities to practice. It would be awesome to have a kit, and a how to, and to have facilitators all over the country going to their local conferences.</div>
</div></div></blockquote></div><div><br><br>Looks like CUE is mostly in California. I'll look for, and take suggestions on, conferences or workshops in the mid-Atlantic area where we can set up.</div></div></blockquote>
<div><br></div><div>I think the name may change from state to state but we are going to one in Mass and NY this year. I found a huge list of places where Discovery Labs is setting up a booth. We can probably look for other vendors and get ourselves a pretty good list. </div>
