[Sugar-devel] [IAEP] Education on the XO

[Tony Anderson]

David,

I didn't realize that you were the source of the content on 
schools.sugarlabs.org. Thanks for posting the courses. I also looked at 
the database of possible sources. A good start on that.

I hope that we will have a chance to discuss the infrastructure needs 
next week in Boston.

Tony
