educators as those other Brits @ <a href="https://twitter.com/teamkano" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/teamkano</a>. Naturally there are other deployments that do not want these 3GB of learning/IT tools, as things boot faster without, and traditionalists do not want visual tools (X Windows).<br><br></div><div>In essence it took half a decade, but the $35 computer is now unleashing a lot of field innovation across these 2 categories primarily:<br>1) "one RPi3 per child" deployments who require modern visual tools on each RPi3 (and can afford a cheap LCD per child/seat)<br>2) "one RPi3 server per classroom" deployments (who may or may not be able to afford an LCD or projector for the teacher)<br><br>Of course there are many of both types of learning communities above and others, who do not always see eye to eye (imagine that, another culture war, what a surprise ;) So our Mission is to encourage maximum cross-fertilization across these most practical scenarios--wherever we can, despite not-invented-here bubbles of innovation--embracing creative cross-collaboration / proven best practices as a larger force than infantile infighting, across an entire planet of fantastically passionate grassroots implementers~<br><br></div><div>In many cases Sugarizer-on-XSCE/IIAB can provide a partial answer. But Tony Anderson is correct to remind us Sugarizer does not yet provide nearly as rich an experience as full Sugar.
