I think we have consensus on SLs promoting packaging of Sugar on any distro, so interested admins can do a Sugar installation in the same way they would be doing a GNOME or KDE one. By having Sugar packaged in several distros, we have made a big step forward in having live images based on each of those distros. >>> So, a possible solution could be calling the product marketed by SLs >>> "Sugar on a Stick" and each individual team and product "Fedora Sugar >>> on a Stick", "OpenSUSE Sugar on a Stick", etc. From time to time SLs >>> would decide to call and market as "Sugar on a Stick" a particular >>> release of a particular flavor.

Sounds good to me, because people will search for us using very different terms, more as new projects appear inside SLs.
