Both decisions would be made by SLOBs or a decision panel convened by the SLOBs. This issue is a peripheral one that isn't particularly within the scope of the current SoaS discussions in this thread, though.

 +
I'd like to announce Sugar on a Stick 7 (Quandong)
 +
 +
There's been a lot of work go into this release from a lot of
 +
communities from Fedora and all the Fedora 17 features that give us
 +

 +
the new features that come with the Sugar 0.96 release on which SoaS
 +
v7 is based.
 +
 +
Thanks go to all the people that have contributed to this release
 +
including Kalpa and Thomas who helped directly with SoaS, the Sugar
 +
development team and other Sugar developers. A lot of work has been
 +
done to ensure we can get working core Activities like Read and Browse

== Some checksum hash(s) please ==
 +
 +
The following links are missing the SoaS SHA256 checksum/hashs
 +
http://fedora-spins.c3sl.ufpr.br/alt/spins/linux/releases/15/Spins/i686/Fedora-15-i686-Spins-CHECKSUM

http://fedora-spins.c3sl.ufpr.br/alt/spins/linux/releases/15/Spins/x86_64/Fedora-15-x86_64-Spins-CHECKSUM
 +
Could someone post a png or gif of the hash for these files here since fedora won't update this until F16(Verne) is out.
