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.

PS: Android (or a particular Android service) would be a perfect  
vehicle for the IXDA community to jump onto as a Design project.
