Back when OLPC first started bubbling up the bits I was very excited seeing as I had a couple of prime candidates for their use. As time went on other options came to be, OLPC slipped into the background. Sugar held my interest for longer than the hardware. I played with various versions in vms. I tried to get the kids using Sugar On A Stick but by then they had already gotten used to an easy Linux gui and Android devices. Rule of thumb, if it can not run some version of Minecraft its a no go. At a certain age range Minecraft is the social and educational must have program. They each have a Pi to play around with and a Lubuntu box as their main rigs, we even went in for the Piper Box, which is much used. I noticed while back there was Sugar had a port for Android but that ship has sailed. And so it goes, for my uses at least. I was a great promise and a fantastic idea, other things came up on the other lanes though and like many great ideas was left behind. I would love to hear that it took hold in those areas it seemed a great fit for. -tom ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Dave Crossland <<a href="mailto:dave@lab6.com">dave@lab6.com</a>> Date: 1 May 2016 at 23:39 Subject: Re: [FoRK] OLPC?

May I forward this feedback to the sugar devel list? :) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Tom Higgins <<a href="mailto:tomhiggins@gmail.com">tomhiggins@gmail.com</a>> Date: 5 May 2016 at 20:39 Subject: Re: [FoRK] OLPC? To: Dave Crossland <<a href="mailto:dave@lab6.com">dave@lab6.com</a>> Sure thing. I think being a geek dad and my kids being the ages they are we were are not sugar/olpc's best target. I love seeing it being used though. It is a good step towards a truly universal Young Persons Illustrated Primer. -tom _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list <a href="mailto:Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org">Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org</a> <a href="http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel</a> </blockquote></div> <div> </div>-- <div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>Walter Bender Sugar Labs</div><div><a href="http://www.sugarlabs.org" target="_blank">http://www.sugarlabs.org</a> <a href="http://www.sugarlabs.org" target="_blank"></a> </div></div></div> </div>
