Disagreements, both political and technical, happen all the time and the Sugar community is no exception. The important goal is not to avoid disagreements or differing views but to resolve them constructively. You should turn to the community and to the community process to seek advice and to resolve disagreements. We have the oversight board which will help to decide the right course for Sugar Labs. There are also several Project Teams and Team Leaders, who may be able to help you figure out which direction will be most acceptable. If you really want to go a different way, then we encourage you to make fork the Sugar code base so that the community can try out your changes and ideas for itself and contribute to the discussion.

The Sugar community is not immune to disagreements—both political and technical. We do not try to avoid disagreements or differing views, but we do try to resolve them constructively. Turn to the community and to community processes to seek advice and to mediate and resolve disagreements. Community resources include an Oversight Board which will help to decide the right course for Sugar Labs, project teams and team leaders who may be able to help you, and an ombudsman who will investigate complaints and, where possible, resolve them by making recommendations to the community. We welcome you to fork the Sugar code base if you are determined to go your own way; enabling the community to test your ideas and possibly merge them back into the mainstream.
