Porting Sugar to Android was identified at the beginning of the year by the
Oversight Board as a strategic goal for Sugar
Hi Folks...
Notes from Sunny SoCal...
Another reason to Androidize Sugar... whenever someone asks me (as recently
as last evening) about the XO Learning Tablet, they assume Sugar will run on
it. I have to tell them, no, it's an Android platform, but we hope to get

Would it be possible to, instead of trying to port all of Sugar to

Hi Daniel, et. al.,
Do you think Ubuntu could be an (easier) option for sugar to piggyback
upon...
This is not a because-i-think-ubuntu-is-cool opinion, but testament to the
fact that canonical have been working to get ubuntu running on tablets and
smartphones.
O.K. So... now it is time to divide and conquer! That is... divide the work
up into doable little projects and conquer the huge task of getting Sugar
Activities onto Android and possibly other platforms. Someone (at Sugar Labs,

Hi Anish,
that's interesting.
First impressions from a quick look. There isn't really much documentation
so I won't promise this is fully accurate :)

That's a bit of an hack and I wouldn't recommend it if we had to maintain

IMHO the individual activities are *not* what makes Sugar such a compelling
proposition.
Hi Sean,
I've not closely followed all these discussions, so obviously I'm
not in the best position to provide good arguments, but here is my
gut feeling about this.
I see three challenges: put Sugar in the hands of many kids, build
a healthy FLOSS community, raise funds. The latter is just a

Thanks to everybody who has contributed to the discussion so far, particularly
to Sean for his well researched post on Android developments.
The choices as I understand:
0) Do not have an Android transition plan
1) A suite of Activities with a common look and feel but leave things like file
