To rephrase what Caryl is saying:<br><br>* We need a simple, general term to describe Sugar distributions that run on USB or SD media. This term should describe Trisquel, SOAS-Fedora, and anything else you can think of.<br> <br>* Right now, "sugar on a stick" perhaps without caps, seems like a natural way to describe this [save for the fact that SD cards aren't called sticks -sj :) ]<br><br>* If we reserve "sugar on a stick" then each distro may start using its own custom name, without a shared common name, and we will end up with dozens of very dissimilar names, which will be confusing to teachers<br> <br>So, think in terms of the page of "Sugar distributions on external media". What short, memorable name can be given to that page? Live Sugar? Personal? Portable? This common name should be as memorable and recognizable to non-technical users as possible. <br> <br>SJ<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Nov 2, 2009 at 8:31 AM, Martin Dengler <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:martin@martindengler.com">martin@martindengler.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> On Sun, Nov 01, 2009 at 11:08:22PM -0800, Caryl Bigenho wrote:<br> <br> I'm having trouble squaring this with your earlier<br> statement[1].
