The mailing list is up - details on the conversation are posted at

But marketing discussions are already on the Sugar Labs marketing

In my view, the mailing list should be called "SoaS-Fedora". That's
the specific project the mailing list is intended to support, and we
haven't reached consensus that "Sugar on a Stick" should always refer
to the Fedora liveUSB project. Although that's clearly the case today

Yes, thanks Mel & Tomeu, it is certainly the case that I need clarity
too, since the Sugar Labs message is part of a strategy designed to
achieve massive adoption of Sugar beyond OLPC, while supporting the
latter.
Sugar on GNU/Linux alone cannot be a vector of massive adoption, but

I read the multiple "future of SoaS" discussions on this mailing list

respond.
