== In Memoriam ==
This release of Sugar (v0.106) is dedicated to the memory of Marco Gritti Presenti. Marco was a member of the original Sugar team and the lead Red Hat engineer on the project over its first three years of development. Marco was also a founding member of Sugar Labs and one of the original members of the Sugar Labs oversight board. Beyond the code he contributed to the project -- he was a gifted software engineer --Marco shared with us his vision that Sugar ultimately belongs to its users: it is the clarity of this vision that is still reflected in the Sugar code-base and the spirit of the Sugar Labs community.
