[Activities] [OLPC library] Art In All of Us -- OLPC

[simon at artinallofus.org]

Hi Idit:

It's great to ponder possibilities. Although, we're on the first step of
making the game deployable in Sugar environment. The game is from an open
source developer from outside of AiA that can't provide support. So, we
need someone the redevelop the game and take ownership and support it as
it's deployed on the OLPC machines. 

Any leads on a volunteer is most appreciated. Then follow up on any other
possibilities can move forward.

Thanks and have a great holiday weekend.

Simon Suh
AiA Generalist
