Two missing use cases are: School A installs a base Sugar on 100,00 machines and would like teachers and students to be able to install locally written activities bundles. I believe skolelinux has 10s of millions of users around the world. Company A wants to sell machines preloaded with a base Sugar and expects users and schools to be able to install additional activities. david > > - Jonas > > -- > * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt > * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ > > [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) > > iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJLQPtsAAoJECx8MUbBoAEh+9UQAKmwz9/gPfkG0/SueEnVkB7K > xwCCxl6ZjMItpCDETDR+g6N3jb4cfwspSxUwcW20SI9QArNTIu24rG/A9M6Bc+fq > JSz7vaM0Ti0ljwP1N2TXxMMBHaqWYXQlhAwMqlhRQF4iQCOUMVyGEDuhvVod86/0 > xX3vAoL3NbuKhx+HxM8mZ7vba2TYfQzI1QovLCfPsIXTqewvys3cHTakkDJH4bOD > CS+KfiTe/8uxkh6/QCwnEz9CIEz8WtWYPdSm8lrx44yJD0go7oZK7EP8cpEDWDIE > FOtEV0pFf912LK7CPXV+XVBO3tgtr2ujLPcB0t/agVVTZ7knQI65wxbx6yU6PniS > vlx4z32kKEOzzny7FQh/FPnqUSqhjFiQGOOSKAdk/zWG8+HeJqX+J8426fPx+bov > AW3AktDDihNhtC9lsHDJp1yLC7UgbMWq8WaLiTO9uXo5PAsq0adFGsq1anC0Fs54 > S3tYe1r528unrqiFkRojuNLGtaFYNb39iSn4DIujO+8Acd6N7HKquzIXl64qlTFc > rTcoZpZvCrokWY0D2nzt28oxTT8i0ktKFj2ifvfpoFHY8NvJfgBmO1c14vYzJFbt > m4loevjI5wjhzjHgExr2NR7VzntZE8pnDhb25LjD5qed3/ItiG/bnstHmuAzh7ru > hGEG1yvoa6ULu0dMvuVo > =xdVi > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > _______________________________________________ > Debian-olpc-devel mailing list > debian-olpc-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org > http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/debian-olpc-devel > > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
