@dungeons Let's do this!!

@wx1g good one, Dave!

@blindcoder And we now, as of today, have the option to purchase a USB with SoaS pre-installed. Check out the post here: https://mastodon.social/@sugar_labs/113834630424740462

You can now purchase Sugar on a Stick (SoaS)!!!

You've always been able to do a download, flash, and run; but NOW you can purchase a USB with SoaS pre-installed. This is great for folks that want to skip the steps of flashing a USB drive. It's also branded with the Sugar Labs logo, and makes a great gift for youth and teachers interested in trying out the Sugar Learning Environment.

Sugar Labs executive director Devin Ulibarri shares his test run of the very first USB.

@ricmac It worked for me. Clever and fun!

@julianwki cool. If you document your experience doing this, that would be helpful to us. It could be a few photos, what worked, what didn't work, etc.

@blindcoder I'm the person responsible for making the flow on the website less "nuts".

The first two steps (i.e. "try now" and "learn about") are intentional. After that, the issue is that the website was unmaintained for nearly a decade and is currently a bit of a WIP.

I've created a bug report for improvements to the installation page: https://github.com/sugarlabs/www/issues/641

Feel free to give feedback there. I didn't see your Mastodon post until today.

@julianwki I recommend asking that question in https://matrix.to/#/#sugar:matrix.org

I do know that over the summer last year, we did some major updates for RPi.

I haven't really tested them myself, but you can follow some of the development here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EW0b5OkxXVs&list=PLyTz5XRZyi-w914Lgc6JEpxp6tkTeb6R7&index=4&pp=gAQBiAQB and https://www.youtube.com/live/TARoJDitQVg?feature=shared&t=3012

@neauoire haha!

@Gargron that sounds like great progress. Congrats!

@dungeons no!!!

@JustToOdd @dungeons Cool. Thanks.

I do find this channel quite entertaining.

@JustToOdd @dungeons I guess I'm just really curious now, since I've seen that as an option multiple times.

@dungeons Oh gosh. Let's "Go. To. Town." Everybody! Please!

I want to know what's in town!

(And what I want is important, obviously. :p )

@dungeons can we all agree to "go to town" sometime in the near future?

@jk makes sense to me
