This appears to be Sugar Labs, which is indeed receiving no funding from OLPC, contrary to a previous express promise by NN. Or so I hear. We have a three-legged relationhip here: OLPC Management OLPC Community Sugar Labs My experience at Sugar Camp and elsewhere leads me to the notion that Michael is correctly describing the relationship between OLPC Community and Sugar Labs, and that there is no correct description of the relationship of OLPC Management to anything, including itself. > Since, to my knowledge, other OLPC people were not > involved in _that_ decision, it's hard to divine whether your > statement in this matter -- or, in fact, a statement made by anyone > but Nicholas -- carries any weight whatsoever. On the contrary, Ivan, it is NN's statements that I give no weight to. Michael's statements carry great weight with me, considering how thoughtful he is about making them. Whether he is correct about anything concerning the future requires testing as usual, but I give him points for generally knowing what he is talking about, and talking about what he knows. > -- > Ivan Krstić <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | http://radian.org > > _______________________________________________ > IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!) > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep -- Silent Thunder (默雷/धर्ममेघशब्दगर्ज/دھرممیگھشبدگر ج) is my name And Children are my nation.
