I agree and this video makes me want add a third ecosystem, content and peripheral providers. <div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Sep 29, 2009 at 9:40 AM, Sean DALY <<a href="http://sdaly.be">sdaly.be</a>@<a href="http://gmail.com">gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">I agree. In our case, there are two ecosystems I think: * GNU/Linux distributions * Systems integrators for schools The first will grow as Sugar becomes more well-known, which is happening. But the second has real potential I think and everything needs to be done. Lots of FOSS integrators want to knock on doors of education departments and show what's going on during this time of change towards FOSS. Schools have varied hardware and only a local integrator can supply services across platforms. We could work on a "deployment template" to simplify this. I feel Solution Grove could be the for-profit federator of a template kit, or other support network (training...); your company is perfectly positioned to do so (at least, seen from 10,000 meters ;-). Feedback collection could be part of that. I haven't been able to talk that over with you, but I do think an integration/deployment business offer should accompany Sugar Labs software.
