How is Sugar Labs different from other FOSS projects?
- Sugar Labs attracts a very broad spectrum of people interested not only in software but for the humanitarian products of software. While a humanitarian FOSS project (we need the powerful, foundational tools of software), we are different because we are participating in the invention of a new society with more powerful tools, social objects, and more freedom to learn. The potential resulting from the combination of these powers is enormous. Sugar Labs is about building those powers. It's an Education Project is a moniker we have adopted to remind us of that breadth of purpose.
How is Sugar Labs a FOSS project?
- Sugar Labs recognizes free and open source software as the powerful ingredient in our technological future. Our success is based on a powerful vision and working software. A large part of our investments must be dedicated to the delivery of powerful software designs and working code—software that is used powerfully and productively.
- We also aspire to transfer aspects of the culture of the FOSS community to the learning community—the culture of sharing and the culture of critique. Learners must have ready access to powerful ideas and to a community that engages in constructive criticism of ideas. "Show me the code."
What are Sugar Labs Projects?
- Projects in Sugar Labs are learning experiments generally focused on delivering specific goals within a defined time period and learning how to advance the Sugar Labs vision. They often require services from multiple specialties. Project members may be active in multiple areas. Projects may have a home page with links in a project header to pages for participation, contacts, resources, FAQs, a roadmap or their vision, tasks, and meetings.
- Projects are where the Sugar principles and software may be developed, tested, and deployed for the purpose of better integrating Sugar software with community needs and aspirations.
