We had an excellent meeting with Gonzalo! Here are a few very brief
pointers. More detail coming soon via blog posts at
http://olpcsf.org/blog

* Gonzalo talked about Sugar 100
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baAYGtEwEbM) and Sugar 102
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wxizr3elPQ)
* We looked at HTML5 in Sugar. http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/HTML5_activities
* We looked at other HTML5 frameworks (in FirefoxOS, for instance).
https://cordova.apache.org/
* FirefoxOS apps, and how some of these may port over easily to Sugar.
https://marketplace.firefox.com/developers/
* Develop activity to develop Sugar activities.
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/Develop
* We looked at Sugarizer (developed by OLPC-France) and installed the
Android apk file on a couple of Android phones. (http://sugarizer.org)
Note that you'll have to go into Settings | Security and enable
"Installing from unknown sources".
* We also installed Android on a XO-4 Touch, and then installed Sugarizer on it.
