Process

The process for discussion and reaching a decision is not yet set.

Should Sugar Labs be a GNU/Linux distributor, rather than just an upstream producing Sugar releases?


Should SL be neutral about distributions containing Sugar, and refuse to endorse one over another?


Should 'Sugar on a Stick' be a phrase that SL asks its community to avoid using unless they refer to the SoaS-Fedora distribution?


Any other question the Decision Panel deems required to provide an answer to the original question: "Is the current SoaS going to be the primary way Sugar Labs distributes a Sugar-centric GNU/Linux distribution?


Potential naming conventions:

  • Sugar4CD/PC/F11 (Sugar, version 4, made for liveCD, runs on PCs, Fedora11 based) - example from Caryl Bigenho <cbigenho@hotmail.com>
