Just to share information about Uruguay. Here we gave classmate machines to
some of our teachers. They prefer this laptops, instead of XO, because have
a better overall performance.
This machines have Ubuntu with Sugar Sweets Distribution. We prefer Ubuntu,
instead of Fedora as Linux Distribution,

Personally, I don't think we need support regular desktop apps,
because doing it, we lost consistency in the desktop,
and there are already a lot of general purpose desktops already.
Sugar is a desktop for kids, simplicity and consistency between
activities is a plus. The XOs can use Gnome, to su

Thanks for clarifying. IMO we should not rewrite Sugar and activities using
the Android SDK
- While Android is nominally free software for it's licence, it seems the
current development practices (like code drops) gives Google too much
control on the project direction. I don't want to be locked in

What do you mean with utilizing sugar shell etc? It seems like that's
either porting the GNOME platform to make the current implementation work,
or rewriting them using the Android SDK.

Arch Linux. I played a bit more and I got OSTree working with Arch. I think
that would make a nice update system. It's just research really but it
might turn out to be useful to someone. I love the continuous release cycle
in Arch Linux but it might also be the most
Hi,
very nice analysis, thanks a lot. Let me focus on a couple of points
- Sell for 1.99$. I feel that building business around Sugar might be
essential for its survival. And I like the idea, it seems like it might
even work! (I have no clue about business, mind you :P).

These are all good for now but without the "safety" of the 2-3 million default
users, SL can not just be the "upstream". There are some more fundamental
questions now that we need to compete in the "open market".

Does anyone else want to add their thoughts on:
1. What is the future availability of XO hardware? What are the
alternatives? What hardware choices are deployments going to make for
their next and future rounds of purchasing.
2. How effectively does Sugar run on the available hardware options?

Daniel recently started a related thread called Tech Roadmap and Sean
started a marketing thread related to naming. To reduce confusion I
thought that it might be valuable to take a step back and look at an
overall Sugar Labs Roadmap.
