Thanks! Sugar on a Stick 5 is around the corner, hence the question
(http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick). I've been talking to
Maria Jenerik (+Grant Bowman) at CACS about the use of Sugar and/or
XOs there. She was in fact helping us with one of our OLPC projects,
but the Mumbai gods didn't bless it :-(

We tend to get some machines cycled out at SF State during Fall
semester, so maybe I can spot a machine or two exclusively for Sugar
at CACS.

Of course, if anyone else is interested in helping out, please let me know.

cheers,
Sameer
