add walter's vision
The ongoing challenge is overcoming negative image perceptions of OLPC - that the $100 unit price didn't happen, that the project was somehow influenced by Microsoft, even that the project still exists. There is also an identified issue that our slick logo encourages a perception that we are a for-profit startup, not a nonprofit volunteer org. this is why we said "Nonprofit" in many of our PR communiqué titles.

Walter Bender offered this view for future marketing efforts:
''What I would like from marketing is some mechanism for highlighting the powerful ideas in Sugar that seem to be lacking in most other systems so that even if a school decides to go with a different product/project, they put pressure on that project to provide tools, not apps, collaboration, transparency, self reflection and group critique, and responsibility on the shoulders of students and teachers to shape their own world.''
