For a taste of Sugar: * install it on your own machine (win/linux/mac/etc) * build it (preferable) or run in emulation * find + report bugs * see goodies that need design help, and * participate in the Sugar community.
But the laptop is the wrong discussion. The cell-top is THE platform. 2.2 billion are currently in use on planet earth with another billion slated to be sold this year. The open cell phone is it: iphone-ish services, Android, Linux.... Kids in Nairobi are hacking cell services now from monitoring community blood banks to minute-swapping services. Local teenagers and college kids have already been shaping the cell-top service in Africa (and many other continents). The cell phone is your bank, shopping center, medical record, concierge, and more. The OLPC is cute, cuddly, and a fabulous concept. The cell-top is dominating the global service scene. -Juhan PS: Android (or a particular Android service) would be a perfect vehicle for the IXDA community to jump onto as a Design project. ________________________________________________________________ *Come to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah* February 8-10, 2008 in Savannah, GA, USA Register today: http://interaction08.ixda.org/ ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
