helpful to attempt to make contact with anyone within Rwanda that is
using Sugar on Positivos, official or otherwise, but also anyone who is
involved with the official distribution of Positivos within Rwanda. Can
you help us on this front, Samson?<br>

For Sugar Labs, the most important part is "the machines will have the
same modules (interface) for children lesson," so there's an
opportunity for Sugar Labs to remain involved.
I don't know what operating system REB are using, but OLPC OS 18.04.0
based on Ubuntu 18.04.2 and Sugar will likely work straight away on
PC-compatible laptops, and can be customised and rebuilt. Our OLPC
servers do see update requests from countries were we have not
distributed our PC-compatible laptops, which is cool.
