| − | <p style="font-size: 1.3em; background: #edfdd7; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #cde7a8">'''Sugar reinvents how computers can be used for education.''' It promotes sharing and collaborative learning and gives children the opportunity to use their laptops on their own terms. Children — and their teachers — have the freedom to reshape, reinvent, and reapply their software, and content. Sugar is based on GNU/Linux, a free and open-source operating system.</p>

| + | ;Want to help?: Welcome to the Sugar Labs community! We are contributors of all types - teachers, writers, coders, designers, testers, and more - who work together from around the world on Sugar. Visit the '''[[Sugar Labs/Getting Involved | Getting Involved]]''' page, and find out how you can join in the fun of learning. We have some [[Vacancies]] and are always looking for maintainers and testers. There are also non-technical roles and tasks where help is wanted. If you'd like to volunteer to help out, please see our [[Help_Wanted]] page for more information. |
