[IAEP] [SLOBS] Motion to update current SL vision statement

[Tony Anderson]

Hi, Laura

Unfortunately, this is not my vision of Sugar Labs or Sugar. I see Sugar 
as an educational opportunity provided to users of the OLPC XO
and others. Naturally, it takes software engineers to develop and 
maintain this software, but the vision must be about the result - Sugar 
and the
benefits if offers in an educational setting.
