Jon, <br><br>I'm just responding to your facebook message. :-)<br><br>---Cherry <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Sep 24, 2009 at 9:42 PM, Mel Chua <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mel@melchua.com">mel@melchua.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
I'm copying your message to the OLPC Philippines list - I'm not in the<br>
Philippines myself, but the volunteers who are there and working on OLPC<br>
and Sugar related topics are on this list, and it's where I get all my<br>
information on what's happening.<br>
<br>
(On that note, I've been very appreciative of the recent messages that<br>
have been going to the list to keep everyone up to date on what's going<br>
on - please keep it up, and cc even more messages to the list - I'd love<br>
to see the discussions behind these announcements as well!)<br>
<br>
Jon, I can't help you much with Philippines-specific stuff, but if you'd<br>
like to know what's going on more with Sugar in particular, pop onto<br>
<a href="http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep" target="_blank">http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep</a> and we'll talk.<br>
<br>
--Mel<br>
<br>
PS: A teacher once told me that one of the most important lessons one<br>
could learn was how to be productively lost - and I've found this to be<br>
particularly true in open source. So Jon, if you're a little lost but<br>
still moving forward, that's good! If you're ever not confused, that's<br>
probably an indicator that you're missing something. ;)<br>
