&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;=== Who can be an editor ? ===&lt;br /&gt;
Any sugar learner should and can be an editor of the Activity Library, &lt;br /&gt;
we only advise that the editor can&#039;t be the same developer of the activity, this is truth for not-trusted activities. (see definitions bellow) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;Trusted Activities&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
These are activities that don&#039;t need an editor approval for publicize new updated versions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;Not-trusted Activities&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
These are activities that need an editor approval in order to publicize new updated versions of the activities&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maintained activities are entitled to be trusted, and all activities that fulfill technical and non-technical policies can be trusted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Removing, reviewing, sandboxing activities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some points that should be considered during activity review, some activities may be entirely removed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Reasons for removing ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* inappropriate (violent, sexual, subversive) content&lt;br /&gt;

=== Reasons for keeping or moving to the Sandbox ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Activities that are experimental are kept in Activity&#039;s Library sandbox (i.e., only registered users can download them).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Any confusion with already-published activities&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;A&#039;&#039;&#039;: Make the difference more clear, by obvious renaming, providing notice in the description, or not launching activity, etc. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Buggy activities&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
If the activity is proving to not start or is having serious functionality problems, it should be moved to the sandbox or removed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;A&#039;&#039;&#039;: Contact the maintainer or Developer to notify them of the issue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** At the same time we should stimulate experiments, changing existing activities and, very importantly, sharing results of these experiments. A new ASLO code base might support having several implementations (&amp;quot;forks&amp;quot; might be too hard a word for them) of the same activity. Need to think how this can be achieved.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;[[User:Alsroot|alsroot]] 07:32, 25 October 2010 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Obvious misuse of categories, e.g., FireFox activity in Teaching tools&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;A&#039;&#039;&#039;: Contact the uploader to clarify the category choice.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;== Global Education Conference 15-19 November 2010 ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 2010 Global Education Conference will be held November 15 - 19, 2010, online and free - I am wondering how much Sugar community support I could get if I proposed a Sugar session, It would mean that before the session attendees would need to download Sugar on a Stick, I think it would be good if we had community involved and able to help with running it in more than just English and helping people, anyone want to be involved?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am thinking of proposing an open discussion, where people who have tried downloading Sugar on a Stick and using it give us feedback on their experience and can ask questions of the Sugar community. If people are having installation problems we divert them to IRC channel (maybe #sugar-newbies) for instant support, and keep the elluminate session focused on education benefits, suggestions, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So far we have English and Hindi listed, thanks Manu for offering support for this session and bringing your experience with grade 6 and 7 in New Delhi Sugar on a Stick deployment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 2010 Global Education Conference will be held November 15 - 19, 2010, online and free - I am wondering how much Sugar community support I could get if I proposed a Sugar session, It would mean that before the session attendees would need to download Sugar on a Stick, I think it would be good if we had community involved and able to help with running it in more than just English and helping people, anyone want to be involved?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am thinking of proposing an open discussion, where people who have tried downloading Sugar on a Stick and using it give us feedback on their experience and can ask questions of the Sugar community. If people are having installation problems we divert them to IRC channel (maybe #sugar-newbies) for instant support, and keep the elluminate session focused on education benefits, suggestions, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So far we have English and Hindi listed, thanks Manu for offering support for this session and bringing your experience with grade 6 and 7 in New Delhi Sugar on a Stick deployment.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;This is a draft, and not a final report.&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Introduction===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This constitutes the report of the SoaS decision panel (DP), [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/iaep/2009-September/008746.html convened by SLOB].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The structure of this report is:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Introduction (this section)&lt;br /&gt;
# Executive Summary&lt;br /&gt;
# Mandate&lt;br /&gt;
# Members&lt;br /&gt;
# Report on Questions 1-3&lt;br /&gt;
# Conclusion&lt;br /&gt;
# Appendices&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Executive Summary===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Decision Panel was [[#Mandate|mandated]] to answer three questions.  The Decision Panel&#039;s answers are below:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Question 1: &amp;quot;Should Sugar Labs be a GNU/Linux distributor, rather than just an upstream producing Sugar releases?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
;Answer: [[#Question_1|TBD - see below for opinions]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Question 2: &amp;quot;Should SL be neutral about distributions containing Sugar, and refuse to endorse one over another?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
;Answer: [[#Question_2|TBD - see below for opinions]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Question 3: &amp;quot;Should &#039;Sugar on a Stick&#039; be a phrase that SL asks its community to avoid using unless they refer to the SoaS-Fedora distribution?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
;Answer: [[#Question_3|TBD - see below for opinions]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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: &amp;quot;Is the current SoaS going to be the primary way Sugar Labs distributes a Sugar-centric GNU/Linux distribution?&amp;quot; (Question 0).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Decision Panel has not raised any additional questions, outside of requesting clarification of terms in questions 2 and 3. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mandate===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;quot;Investigate the situation of how SoaS should be treated by Sugar Labs, and related questions, including answers to the following:&lt;br /&gt;
:* &amp;quot;Should Sugar Labs be a GNU/Linux distributor, rather than just an upstream producing Sugar releases?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:* &amp;quot;Should SL be neutral about distributions containing Sugar, and refuse to endorse one over another?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:* &amp;quot;Should &#039;Sugar on a Stick&#039; be a phrase that SL asks its community to avoid using unless they refer to the SoaS-Fedora distribution?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:* Any other question the Decision Panel deems required to provide an answer to the original question:&amp;quot;Is the current SoaS going to be the primary way Sugar Labs distributes a Sugar-centric GNU/Linux distribution?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

===Report on Questions 1-3===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Q1: OS distributor v. upstream ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 1: &amp;quot;Should Sugar Labs be a GNU/Linux distributor, rather than just an upstream producing Sugar releases?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Proposed answers:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{| border=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot; class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;border-collapse:collapse;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

|&lt;br /&gt;
# Yes.   Without it Sugar Labs has nothing to encourage the use of or promote that is of direct use to anyone other then programmers or the people who assemble Linux distributions. [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2009-September/000029.html (reference)] [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2009-September/000032.html counterpoint].  There is real interest and are real plans to do this [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2009-October/000100.html (reference)].&lt;br /&gt;
# Yes. We greatly appreciate the work of those who have contributed to SoaS Strawberry and Blueberry.  We regard these products as valuable, critical distribution mechanism for Sugar, and we will do what we can to ensure their continued development. [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/iaep/2009-September/008681.html (reference)]&lt;br /&gt;
|&lt;br /&gt;
# No, not now. SL is not now a full-service GNU/Linux distributor and being one is not in SL&#039;s [[Sugar Labs#Mission|mission statment]]; &amp;quot;[[What_is_Sugar%3F|Sugar learning platform]]&amp;quot; is *not* a GNU/Linux distribution. [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2009-September/000056.html counterpoint] [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2009-September/000057.html counter-counterpoint].  However many contributors volunteer to help with individual tasks thereof; and an official plan is part of a number of SugarLabs&#039; members published plans.  Sugar Labs is better off spending its scarce resources on the [[What_is_Sugar%3F|Sugar learning platform]].   Distribution work is is really hard and labour-intensive and being done by major distro vendors already (Debian, Fedora [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2009-October/000168.html (reference)]&lt;br /&gt;

# Undecided.  The two sides of the argument don&#039;t seem to be speaking directly to one anothers&#039; issue [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2009-October/000175.html (reference)] [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2009-October/000178.html counterpoint]&lt;br /&gt;

==== Q2: distro endorsement v. neutrality ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 2: &amp;quot;Should SL be neutral about distributions containing Sugar, and refuse to endorse one over another?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Proposed answers:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

# Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
|&lt;br /&gt;
# No.  Sugar On a Stick, the Fedora-derived distribution, will be the endorsed distribution.  SL needs to influence the distribution so drastically that it is effectively controlling it [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2009-October/000125.html (reference)] [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2009-October/000128.html counterpoint]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==== Q3: SoaS name ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 3: &amp;quot;Should &#039;Sugar on a Stick&#039; be a phrase that SL asks its community to avoid using unless they refer to the SoaS-Fedora distribution?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

!width=25%| Invalid&lt;br /&gt;
! Undecided&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|&lt;br /&gt;
# Yes.  Sugar on a Stick is the central pillar of our marketing strategy [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2009-September/000048.html (reference)].  It&#039;s not trademarked, but should be [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2009-September/000045.html (reference)].  SL does not want to confuse its users and a light touch like this is all that&#039;s needed [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/iaep/2009-September/008403.html (reference)]&lt;br /&gt;
|&lt;br /&gt;
# No.&lt;br /&gt;
|&lt;br /&gt;
# Invalid question.  An answer to this question is not needed for Sugar Labs&#039; members to get on with their work, and the results from a decision panel will not have any effect [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/iaep/2009-September/008751.html ref].&lt;br /&gt;
|&lt;br /&gt;
# Undecided. While it&#039;s reasonable for SL as a community to have a &amp;quot;don&#039;t be confusing&amp;quot; policy that applies equally to all of its projects, that has nothing to do with trademark per se.

&lt;br /&gt;
This constitutes the report of the SoaS decision panel (DP), [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/iaep/2009-September/008746.html convened by SLOB].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Executive Summary===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Decision Panel was [[#Mandate|mandated]] to answer three questions.  The Decision Panel&#039;s answers are below:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Question 1: &amp;quot;Should Sugar Labs be a GNU/Linux distributor, rather than just an upstream producing Sugar releases?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
;Answer: [[#Question_1|TBD - see below for opinions]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Question 2: &amp;quot;Should SL be neutral about distributions containing Sugar, and refuse to endorse one over another?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
;Answer: [[#Question_2|TBD - see below for opinions]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Question 3: &amp;quot;Should &#039;Sugar on a Stick&#039; be a phrase that SL asks its community to avoid using unless they refer to the SoaS-Fedora distribution?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
;Answer: [[#Question_3|TBD - see below for opinions]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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: &amp;quot;Is the current SoaS going to be the primary way Sugar Labs distributes a Sugar-centric GNU/Linux distribution?&amp;quot; (Question 0).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Decision Panel has not raised any additional questions, outside of requesting clarification of terms in questions 2 and 3. &lt;br /&gt;

===Report on Questions 1-3===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Q1: OS distributor v. upstream ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 1: &amp;quot;Should Sugar Labs be a GNU/Linux distributor, rather than just an upstream producing Sugar releases?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Proposed answers:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{| border=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot; class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;border-collapse:collapse;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
!width=25%| Yes&lt;br /&gt;
!width=25%| No&lt;br /&gt;
!width=25%| Invalid&lt;br /&gt;
! Undecided&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|&lt;br /&gt;
# Yes.   Without it Sugar Labs has nothing to encourage the use of or promote that is of direct use to anyone other then programmers or the people who assemble Linux distributions. [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2009-September/000029.html (reference)] [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2009-September/000032.html counterpoint].  There is real interest and are real plans to do this [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2009-October/000100.html (reference)].&lt;br /&gt;
# Yes. We greatly appreciate the work of those who have contributed to SoaS Strawberry and Blueberry.  We regard these products as valuable, critical distribution mechanism for Sugar, and we will do what we can to ensure their continued development. [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/iaep/2009-September/008681.html (reference)]&lt;br /&gt;
|&lt;br /&gt;
# No, not now. SL is not now a full-service GNU/Linux distributor and being one is not in SL&#039;s [[Sugar Labs#Mission|mission statment]]; &amp;quot;[[What_is_Sugar%3F|Sugar learning platform]]&amp;quot; is *not* a GNU/Linux distribution. [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2009-September/000056.html counterpoint] [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2009-September/000057.html counter-counterpoint].  However many contributors volunteer to help with individual tasks thereof; and an official plan is part of a number of SugarLabs&#039; members published plans.  Sugar Labs is better off spending its scarce resources on the [[What_is_Sugar%3F|Sugar learning platform]].   Distribution work is is really hard and labour-intensive and being done by major distro vendors already (Debian, Fedora [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2009-October/000168.html (reference)]&lt;br /&gt;
|&lt;br /&gt;
# Invalid question.  An answer to this question is not needed for Sugar Labs&#039; members to get on with their work, and the results from a decision panel will not have any effect [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/iaep/2009-September/008751.html ref].&lt;br /&gt;
|&lt;br /&gt;
# Undecided.  The two sides of the argument don&#039;t seem to be speaking directly to one anothers&#039; issue [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2009-October/000175.html (reference)] [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2009-October/000178.html counterpoint]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Q2: distro endorsement v. neutrality ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 2: &amp;quot;Should SL be neutral about distributions containing Sugar, and refuse to endorse one over another?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Proposed answers:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

|-&lt;br /&gt;
|&lt;br /&gt;
# Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
|&lt;br /&gt;
# No.  Sugar On a Stick, the Fedora-derived distribution, will be the endorsed distribution.  SL needs to influence the distribution so drastically that it is effectively controlling it [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2009-October/000125.html (reference)] [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2009-October/000128.html counterpoint]&lt;br /&gt;

|&lt;br /&gt;
# Undecided: what do &amp;quot;neutral&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;endorse&amp;quot; mean?  We need to be more clear about these definitions in order to answer [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2009-October/000169.html (reference)]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==== Q3: SoaS name ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 3: &amp;quot;Should &#039;Sugar on a Stick&#039; be a phrase that SL asks its community to avoid using unless they refer to the SoaS-Fedora distribution?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Proposed answers:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

!width=25%| Invalid&lt;br /&gt;
! Undecided&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|&lt;br /&gt;
# Yes.  Sugar on a Stick is the central pillar of our marketing strategy [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2009-September/000048.html (reference)].  It&#039;s not trademarked, but should be [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2009-September/000045.html (reference)].  SL does not want to confuse its users and a light touch like this is all that&#039;s needed [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/iaep/2009-September/008403.html (reference)]&lt;br /&gt;
|&lt;br /&gt;
# No.&lt;br /&gt;
|&lt;br /&gt;
# Invalid question.  An answer to this question is not needed for Sugar Labs&#039; members to get on with their work, and the results from a decision panel will not have any effect [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/iaep/2009-September/008751.html ref].&lt;br /&gt;
|&lt;br /&gt;
# Undecided. While it&#039;s reasonable for SL as a community to have a &amp;quot;don&#039;t be confusing&amp;quot; policy that applies equally to all of its projects, that has nothing to do with trademark per se.

===Report on Questions 1-3===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Q1: OS distributor v. upstream ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 1: &amp;quot;Should Sugar Labs be a GNU/Linux distributor, rather than just an upstream producing Sugar releases?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Proposed answers:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

|&lt;br /&gt;
# Yes.   Without it Sugar Labs has nothing to encourage the use of or promote that is of direct use to anyone other then programmers or the people who assemble Linux distributions. [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2009-September/000029.html (reference)] [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2009-September/000032.html counterpoint].  There is real interest and are real plans to do this [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2009-October/000100.html (reference)].&lt;br /&gt;
# Yes. We greatly appreciate the work of those who have contributed to SoaS Strawberry and Blueberry.  We regard these products as valuable, critical distribution mechanism for Sugar, and we will do what we can to ensure their continued development. [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/iaep/2009-September/008681.html (reference)]&lt;br /&gt;
|&lt;br /&gt;
# No, not now. SL is not now a full-service GNU/Linux distributor and being one is not in SL&#039;s [[Sugar Labs#Mission|mission statment]]; &amp;quot;[[What_is_Sugar%3F|Sugar learning platform]]&amp;quot; is *not* a GNU/Linux distribution. [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2009-September/000056.html counterpoint] [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2009-September/000057.html counter-counterpoint].  However many contributors volunteer to help with individual tasks thereof; and an official plan is part of a number of SugarLabs&#039; members published plans.  Sugar Labs is better off spending its scarce resources on the [[What_is_Sugar%3F|Sugar learning platform]].   Distribution work is is really hard and labour-intensive and being done by major distro vendors already (Debian, Fedora [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2009-October/000168.html (reference)]&lt;br /&gt;

# Undecided.  The two sides of the argument don&#039;t seem to be speaking directly to one anothers&#039; issue [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2009-October/000175.html (reference)] [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2009-October/000178.html counterpoint]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==== Q2: distro endorsement v. neutrality ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 2: &amp;quot;Should SL be neutral about distributions containing Sugar, and refuse to endorse one over another?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

# Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
|&lt;br /&gt;
# No.  Sugar On a Stick, the Fedora-derived distribution, will be the endorsed distribution.  SL needs to influence the distribution so drastically that it is effectively controlling it [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2009-October/000125.html (reference)] [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2009-October/000128.html counterpoint]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==== Q3: SoaS name ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 3: &amp;quot;Should &#039;Sugar on a Stick&#039; be a phrase that SL asks its community to avoid using unless they refer to the SoaS-Fedora distribution?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

|&lt;br /&gt;
# Yes.  Sugar on a Stick is the central pillar of our marketing strategy [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2009-September/000048.html (reference)].  It&#039;s not trademarked, but should be [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/soas/2009-September/000045.html (reference)].  SL does not want to confuse its users and a light touch like this is all that&#039;s needed [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/iaep/2009-September/008403.html (reference)]&lt;br /&gt;
|&lt;br /&gt;
# No.&lt;br /&gt;

|&lt;br /&gt;
# Undecided. While it&#039;s reasonable for SL as a community to have a &amp;quot;don&#039;t be confusing&amp;quot; policy that applies equally to all of its projects, that has nothing to do with trademark per se.

== Procedures ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[:Decision panels#Procedures|Decision Panel procedures]] were adopted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Discussion took place on the [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archives/soas SoaS mailing list] with subject lines beginning with the text &amp;quot;[DP]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

== Report ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;this is a draft&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Introduction===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This constitutes the report of the SoaS decision panel (DP), [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/iaep/2009-September/008746.html convened by SLOB].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The structure of this report is:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Introduction (this section)&lt;br /&gt;
# Executive Summary&lt;br /&gt;

# Appendices&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Executive Summary===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Decision Panel was [[#Mandate|mandated]] to answer three questions.  The Decision Panel&#039;s answers are below:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 1: &amp;quot;Should Sugar Labs be a GNU/Linux distributor, rather than just an upstream producing Sugar releases?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Answer: No, not now. SL is not now a full-service GNU/Linux distributor but 1) many contributors volunteer to help with individual tasks thereof; and 2) an official plan is part of a number of SugarLabs&#039; members plans.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 2: &amp;quot;Should SL be neutral about distributions containing Sugar, and refuse to endorse one over another?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Answer: No.  Sugar On a Stick, the Fedora-derived distribution, will be the endorsed distribution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 3: &amp;quot;Should &#039;Sugar on a Stick&#039; be a phrase that SL asks its community to avoid using unless they refer to the SoaS-Fedora distribution?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Answer: Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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: &amp;quot;Is the current SoaS going to be the primary way Sugar Labs distributes a Sugar-centric GNU/Linux distribution?&amp;quot; (Question 0).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Decision Panel has not raised any additional questions.&lt;br /&gt;

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. &lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;

===Executive Summary===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Decision Panel was [[#Mandate|mandated]] to answer three questions.  The Decision Panel&#039;s answers are below:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 1: &amp;quot;Should Sugar Labs be a GNU/Linux distributor, rather than just an upstream producing Sugar releases?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Answer: No, not now. SL is not now a full-service GNU/Linux distributor but 1) many contributors volunteer to help with individual tasks thereof; and 2) an official plan is part of a number of SugarLabs&#039; members plans.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 2: &amp;quot;Should SL be neutral about distributions containing Sugar, and refuse to endorse one over another?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Answer: No.  Sugar On a Stick, the Fedora-derived distribution, will be the endorsed distribution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 3: &amp;quot;Should &#039;Sugar on a Stick&#039; be a phrase that SL asks its community to avoid using unless they refer to the SoaS-Fedora distribution?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Answer: Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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: &amp;quot;Is the current SoaS going to be the primary way Sugar Labs distributes a Sugar-centric GNU/Linux distribution?&amp;quot; (Question 0).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Decision Panel has not raised any additional questions.&lt;br /&gt;

Question 2: &amp;quot;Should SL be neutral about distributions containing Sugar, and refuse to endorse one over another?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Answer: No.  Sugar On a Stick, the Fedora-derived distribution, will be the endorsed distribution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Question 3====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 3: &amp;quot;Should &#039;Sugar on a Stick&#039; be a phrase that SL asks its community to avoid using unless they refer to the SoaS-Fedora distribution?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Answer: Yes.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=====Potential naming conventions=====&lt;br /&gt;
* Sugar4CD/PC/F11 (Sugar, version 4, made for liveCD, runs on PCs, Fedora11 based) - example from Caryl Bigenho &amp;lt;cbigenho@hotmail.com&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
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. &lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
This constitutes the report of the SoaS decision panel (DP), [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/iaep/2009-September/008746.html convened by SLOB].&lt;br /&gt;

===Executive Summary===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Decision Panel was [[#Mandate|mandated]] to answer three questions.  The Decision Panel&#039;s answers are below:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 1: &amp;quot;Should Sugar Labs be a GNU/Linux distributor, rather than just an upstream producing Sugar releases?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Answer: No, not now. SL is not now a full-service GNU/Linux distributor but 1) many contributors volunteer to help with individual tasks thereof; and 2) an official plan is part of a number of SugarLabs&#039; members plans.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 2: &amp;quot;Should SL be neutral about distributions containing Sugar, and refuse to endorse one over another?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Answer: No.  Sugar On a Stick, the Fedora-derived distribution, will be the endorsed distribution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 3: &amp;quot;Should &#039;Sugar on a Stick&#039; be a phrase that SL asks its community to avoid using unless they refer to the SoaS-Fedora distribution?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Answer: Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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: &amp;quot;Is the current SoaS going to be the primary way Sugar Labs distributes a Sugar-centric GNU/Linux distribution?&amp;quot; (Question 0).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Decision Panel has not raised any additional questions.&lt;br /&gt;

===Executive Summary===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Decision Panel was [[#Mandate|mandated]] to answer three questions.  The Decision Panel&#039;s answers are below:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 1: &amp;quot;Should Sugar Labs be a GNU/Linux distributor, rather than just an upstream producing Sugar releases?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Answer: No, not now. SL is not now a full-service GNU/Linux distributor but 1) many contributors volunteer to help with individual tasks thereof; and 2) an official plan is part of a number of SugarLabs&#039; members plans.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 2: &amp;quot;Should SL be neutral about distributions containing Sugar, and refuse to endorse one over another?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Answer: No.  Sugar On a Stick, the Fedora-derived distribution, will be the endorsed distribution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 3: &amp;quot;Should &#039;Sugar on a Stick&#039; be a phrase that SL asks its community to avoid using unless they refer to the SoaS-Fedora distribution?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Answer: Yes.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
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: &amp;quot;Is the current SoaS going to be the primary way Sugar Labs distributes a Sugar-centric GNU/Linux distribution?&amp;quot; (Question 0).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Decision Panel has not raised any additional questions.&lt;br /&gt;

===Mandate===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;quot;Investigate the situation of how SoaS should be treated by Sugar Labs, and related questions, including answers to the following: &lt;br /&gt;
:* &amp;quot;Should Sugar Labs be a GNU/Linux distributor, rather than just an upstream producing Sugar releases?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
:* &amp;quot;Should SL be neutral about distributions containing Sugar, and refuse to endorse one over another?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
:* &amp;quot;Should &#039;Sugar on a Stick&#039; be a phrase that SL asks its community to avoid using unless they refer to the SoaS-Fedora distribution?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
:* Any other question the Decision Panel deems required to provide an answer to the original question:&amp;quot;Is the current SoaS going to be the primary way Sugar Labs distributes a Sugar-centric GNU/Linux distribution?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;

===Report on Questions 1-3===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Question 1====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 1: &amp;quot;Should Sugar Labs be a GNU/Linux distributor, rather than just an upstream producing Sugar releases?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Answer: No, not now. SL is not now a full-service GNU/Linux distributor but 1) many contributors volunteer to help with individual tasks thereof; and 2) an official plan is part of a number of SugarLabs&#039; members plans.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Question 2====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 2: &amp;quot;Should SL be neutral about distributions containing Sugar, and refuse to endorse one over another?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Answer: No.  Sugar On a Stick, the Fedora-derived distribution, will be the endorsed distribution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Question 3====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 3: &amp;quot;Should &#039;Sugar on a Stick&#039; be a phrase that SL asks its community to avoid using unless they refer to the SoaS-Fedora distribution?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Answer: Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

====Further ideas====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====Potential naming conventions=====&lt;br /&gt;
* Sugar4CD/PC/F11 (Sugar, version 4, made for liveCD, runs on PCs, Fedora11 based) - example from Caryl Bigenho &amp;lt;cbigenho@hotmail.com&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
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. &lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;A 12-person SOAS decision panel was appointed by a [[Oversight_Board/Meeting_Minutes-2009-09-25#Decision_Panel|September, 2009]] Oversight Board decision.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Mandate ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;quot;Investigate the situation of how SoaS should be treated by Sugar Labs, and related questions, including answers to the following: &lt;br /&gt;
:* &amp;quot;Should Sugar Labs be a GNU/Linux distributor, rather than just an upstream producing Sugar releases?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
:* &amp;quot;Should SL be neutral about distributions containing Sugar, and refuse to endorse one over another?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
:* &amp;quot;Should &#039;Sugar on a Stick&#039; be a phrase that SL asks its community to avoid using unless they refer to the SoaS-Fedora distribution?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
:* Any other question the Decision Panel deems required to provide an answer to the original question:&amp;quot;Is the current SoaS going to be the primary way Sugar Labs distributes a Sugar-centric GNU/Linux distribution?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Members ==&lt;br /&gt;
*  Sebastian Dziallas&lt;br /&gt;
* Luke Faraone&lt;br /&gt;
* Martin Dengler&lt;br /&gt;
* Bill Bogstad&lt;br /&gt;
* Faisal Khan&lt;br /&gt;
* Benjamin M. Schwartz&lt;br /&gt;
* Samuel Klein&lt;br /&gt;
* Sean Daly&lt;br /&gt;
* Tabitha Roder&lt;br /&gt;
* Caryl Bigenho&lt;br /&gt;
* Daniel Drake&lt;br /&gt;
* Abhishek Indoria &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Process ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Discussion will take place on the [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archives/soas SOAS mailing list] with subject lines beginning with the text &amp;quot;[DP]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Talk summaries ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Should Sugar Labs be a GNU/Linux distributor, rather than just an upstream producing Sugar releases?&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Should SL be neutral about distributions containing Sugar, and refuse to endorse one over another? &amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Should &#039;Sugar on a Stick&#039; be a phrase that SL asks its community to avoid using unless they refer to the SoaS-Fedora distribution? &amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Any other question the Decision Panel deems required to provide an answer to the original question: &amp;quot;Is the current SoaS going to be the primary way Sugar Labs distributes a Sugar-centric GNU/Linux distribution? &amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Potential naming conventions: &amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sugar4CD/PC/F11 (Sugar, version 4, made for liveCD, runs on PCs, Fedora11 based) - example from Caryl Bigenho &amp;lt;cbigenho@hotmail.com&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
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. &lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Kia ora, kei te pēhea koe? (Hi, how are you?)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m a volunteer as part of the [http://laptop.org.nz  WellyNZTesters].  I find Sugar to be a wonderful tool and look forward to seeing millions of children benefiting from everyone&#039;s hard work!&lt;br /&gt;

Postscript: About &#039;&#039;&#039;WellyNZTesters&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are a volunteer group that meets weekly. It started in the  middle of 2008 and are still going strong. We are spreading out across the country, with a group in Auckland and Christchurch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Yes, you should come along if you can make it)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Volunteer Interview - What makes Tim Click? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;When did you start being an OLPC volunteer?&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
July 2009&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;How did you start being an OLPC volunteer?&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
I had heard about OLPC as the “$100 laptop project” in 2007. I heard you could only get them overseas. Later on I took the open source plunge and installed Ubuntu, then this other software project I was involved with were experimenting with the OLPC computer. That made me search the web and I found the Wellington testing group page on the internet. I thought I would contact them and see where it goes. &lt;br /&gt;
For the first two weeks I learned about how the machine worked. I was lucky enough to be given an XO to take home. I was hooked. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;What is the other software project you are involved in?&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
Sahana (relief in Sinhalese), a project aimed at enhancing coordination in emergencies, particularly in developing countries and locations with weak networks and computer power.   There are some nice synergies between the aims of the two projects. I thought I would learn about how OLPC computers have been overcoming the same issues of connectivity and power in developing countries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;What are your plans from here?&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
I really want to help bring Sugar into New Zealand schools. I don’t think it is fair that students need to be impaired because their school couldn&#039;t afford the latest software and I feel that the Sugar project could bridge that gap. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Is there something else you want to add?&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
I would really encourage people to learn more about Sugar, and Sugar on a Stick. I would like the laptop.org.nz website to become the go to place for New Zealanders wanting to extend the education opportunities available for their children. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because Sugar runs on almost all computers that are in use today - I would like to see it being promoted to let children whose families cannot afford the latest gadgets. Sugar could easily rejuvenate a 2nd hand computer. This sounds much more sensible than throwing it out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Kia ora, kei te pēhea koe? (Hi, how are you?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My name&#039;s Tim McNamara and am based in Wellington, New Zealand.  My website is http://timmcnamara.co.nz.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m a volunteer as part of the [http://laptop.org.nz  WellyNZTesters].  I find Sugar to be a wonderful tool and look forward to seeing millions of children benefiting from everyone&#039;s hard work!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some ways to contact me:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Postscript: About &#039;&#039;&#039;WellyNZTesters&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are a volunteer group that meets weekly. It started in the  middle of 2008 and are still going strong. We are spreading out across the country, with a group in Auckland and Christchurch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Yes, you should come along if you can make it)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Volunteer Interview - What makes Tim Click? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;When did you start being an OLPC volunteer?&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
July 2009&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;How did you start being an OLPC volunteer?&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
I had heard about OLPC as the “$100 laptop project” in 2007. I heard you could only get them overseas. Later on I took the open source plunge and installed Ubuntu, then this other software project I was involved with were experimenting with the OLPC computer. That made me search the web and I found the Wellington testing group page on the internet. I thought I would contact them and see where it goes. &lt;br /&gt;
For the first two weeks I learned about how the machine worked. I was lucky enough to be given an XO to take home. I was hooked. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;What is the other software project you are involved in?&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
Sahana (relief in Sinhalese), a project aimed at enhancing coordination in emergencies, particularly in developing countries and locations with weak networks and computer power.   There are some nice synergies between the aims of the two projects. I thought I would learn about how OLPC computers have been overcoming the same issues of connectivity and power in developing countries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;What are your plans from here?&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
I really want to help bring Sugar into New Zealand schools. I don’t think it is fair that students need to be impaired because their school couldn&#039;t afford the latest software and I feel that the Sugar project could bridge that gap. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Is there something else you want to add?&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
I would really encourage people to learn more about Sugar, and Sugar on a Stick. I would like the laptop.org.nz website to become the go to place for New Zealanders wanting to extend the education opportunities available for their children. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because Sugar runs on almost all computers that are in use today - I would like to see it being promoted to let children whose families cannot afford the latest gadgets. Sugar could easily rejuvenate a 2nd hand computer. This sounds much more sensible than throwing it out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
