[SoaS] Weekly status report - Mon 12/04/10

[Thomas C Gilliard]

Peter;

bernie (Bernie Innocenti) #olpc-paraguay, #sugar; made a Blueberry 
version in ext3 format (non-live) real file system.

It works well and is very stable.
(It has the advantage of being able to be resized to fit the USB in 
gparted as it is ext3 based.
