Re: [IAEP] Why do you contribute to Sugar?

I contribute to Sugar because there are thousands of children around me who use Sugar every day and they deserve appropriate and relevant software that helps them reshape their reality to a more just, verdant and collaborative world. We are just not there yet. I believe Sugar Labs provides basic

Re: [IAEP] [SLOBS] A Better Idea...

For the record, I looked into the X-Prize at the time and had a very different reaction to Caryl. I thought that they were a poor fit to Sugar (and after extensive conversations with several people consulting/working for X-Prize, a poor fit to my personal beliefs about pedagogy and development). I
