Thanks, Ksenia. (Ксения?) You can talk to me, as Program Manager for
Replacing Textbooks at Sugar Labs. We can discuss formats, authoring tools,
licenses, and so on.

How are you making your materials interactive?

OLPC handles hardware and Sugar system software, while Sugar Labs does
Sugar software activities and content, including Open Educational Resources.
