Connect with Sugar Labs

Sugar has a growing community that is ready to help you. Because users and contributors span the globe, a key element to the project is communication. Mailing lists, forums, blogs, Internet Relay Chat (IRC), Jabber, and email provide quick and easy ways to communicate. Also, try our new, community-powered support site and tell us what you you think.

Former sites—these have a short history of problems, but are no longer preferred by Sugar Labs.

Blogs

Planet OLPC and Planet Sugar Labs - These aggregate a number of popular blogs on Sugar and OLPC. Contact mailto:planetmaster@sugarlabs-nospam.org for adding more blogs to this feed.

Jabber Networks

While the OLPC XO-1 is designed with mesh wireless networking built in (where users can connect to each other without having a central wireless internet router/connection), Sugar users around the world may not be able to connect with others using the platform unless it's through the Internet, since mesh networking relies on a concentration of users (for example, in a classroom, school or business environment).

Jabber networks link Sugar users to each other in order to chat, interact and collaborate. There are global Sugar Jabber networks, or regional ones hosted by organizations and individuals around the world. You can choose whichever Jabber network you wish to connect to. Connecting Sugar to one of these networks will greatly enhance your Sugar experience.
