Recently, I've encountered several people who seem to be looking for
perspective on the relationship between OLPC and SugarLabs. I'd like
to offer a few thoughts for them to chew on:
1. Sugar is good enough to be interesting to lots of people in the
world, in particular, people who don't have XOs.
2. In order to reach more people, Sugar needs to be "natively
accessible", e.g. by being packaged for their favorite
distributions (and operating systems, as we start looking at the
larger world).
3. We would like more contributions; even if some of them do not fit
with the user experience we want to provide on the XO. SugarLabs is
a fine place to capture many kinds of contributions.
4. Finally, insofar as OLPC and its partners continue to pay the
salaries of Sugar developers, supply useful infrastructure, and
represent the largest chunk of the Sugar install base, OLPC and
its partners will continue to have a lot of say in the development
of Sugar.
Regards,
Michael
