===Executive Summary===
 +
 
 +
The Decision Panel was [[#Mandate mandated]] to answer three questions.  The Decision Panel's answers are below:
 +
 
 +
Question 1: "Should Sugar Labs be a GNU/Linux distributor, rather than just an upstream producing Sugar releases?"
 +
 
 +
Answer: Yes.
 +
 
 +
Question 2: "Should SL be neutral about distributions containing Sugar, and refuse to endorse one over another?"
 +
 
 +
Answer: No.  Sugar On a Stick, the Fedora-derived distribution, will be the endorsed distribution.
 +
 
 +
Question 3: "Should 'Sugar on a Stick' be a phrase that SL asks its community to avoid using unless they refer to the SoaS-Fedora distribution?"
 +
 
 +
Answer: Yes.
 +
 
 +
In addition, [[#Mandate the mandate]] allows the Decision Panel to raise and answer any other question the DP deems required to provide an answer to the original question: "Is the current SoaS going to be the primary way Sugar Labs distributes a Sugar-centric GNU/Linux distribution?" (Question 0).
 +
 
 +
The Decision Panel has not raised any additional questions.

There has been much talk of whether we should name with different foods and animals. Types of sugar (sucrose, glucose) has been suggested due to its link to sustainability of life. There still seems to be much sense in keeping it simple with SoaS keeping one name with a version release number and corresponding release name.
