How about a joint design with OLE? How about formalizing the Sugar Labs/OLE relationship, and making it much more visible to everybody who wants to start an OLPC/Sugar Labs/OLE affiliate in any country? There are a lot of resources that don't overlap much between the three organizations, and there are a lot of common issues for any Local Lab anywhere. > From a 'people' point of view, a Local Lab is a collection of people, > located in a geographical area, who share Sugar Lab's mission (or a > sub-set of the mission), vision, and values. > > From an 'organizational' point of view, a Local Lab can take Sugar > Labs team structure[1] and modify it to meet local needs.
