I don't know anyone who would say "yes". We've welcomed any hardware and OS vendor who would distribute Sugar, and tried to treat them equally: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Downloads">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Downloads</a> . </pre> </blockquote> Uh, here I might have something to contribute because I was badly misinformed on SLs goings-on for quite a while, having tried to give my life some order by unsubscribing to as many lists as I could. You can see I gave up :-) Anyway, as a muggle or someone with little information (a.k.a. the public) I actually thought, could say was sure, eve, that Sugarlabs was pushing SOaS as their flagship product, maybe SugarLive was there around somewhere, or course (?!?!) Sugar for the XO, whose status seems so unclear... Being "better informed that most" I knew that SOaS ran on top of Fedora, like the XO Sugar did, so no surprises, but that's it AFAIK. I was glad people kept an eye on Ubuntu (my distro of choice), and there's been some enthusiasm around Xtra something going on last week in OLPCNews, and SD card based distro. So that's the "ignorant" view I was about to suggest this: Tomeu Vizoso wrote: <blockquote cite="mid:242851610909200218u204a83fbncf332bc188d3977e@mail.gmail.com" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">So, a possible solution could be calling the product marketed by SLs "Sugar on a Stick" and each individual team and product "Fedora Sugar on a Stick", "OpenSUSE Sugar on a Stick", etc. From time to time SLs would decide to call and market as "Sugar on a Stick" a particular release of a particular flavor. This decision process should be very transparent and fair, of course.</pre> </blockquote> and I am so glad it was Tomeu who did it, for his voice has much more meaning in this community. I dare to speak only because I have the delusion might have earned my spurs a long time ago, even though I hung them on the wall way too long of late. Because of my ignorant ways in interpreting things, which I trust is also the way of the populace :-), I think the wisest thing is to keep the SOaS moniker as a basic SLs thing, of course, of course recognizing Sebastian. I mean, because he sort of "owns" SOaS", I would say he sort of owns SLs itself, in a way (at least, much more than people like I) Anyway, I'd say someone should register SOaSFedora.org and such others as make sense, to avoid squatters, and to also have a way to display in its fullness the different projects, which, different they may be, I hope they don't see themselves as "independent". We are as one, and either we hang together or we will hang alone, etc. and, as Daniel says Daniel Drake wrote: <blockquote cite="mid:818423da0909200155g7c2de34bp2b494d7482c4142a@mail.gmail.com" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">2009/9/19 Yamandu Ploskonka <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:yamaplos@gmail.com"><yamaplos@gmail.com></a>: </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">sugaronastick.com is Caroline Meeks, so I believe we are OK there as to the .org, it would be a certain Peter Robinson (?) </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> Read the "about" page. It's clearly intended as something separate from SoaS, specifically a modification of it. So, if you go to sugaronastick.com and click download then you would get something different from the one that you get from the sugarlabs wiki.</pre> </blockquote> Well, I must admit I hadn't but, I will read that. However, I was certain yesterday, and so I am today, that Caroline would never act as a "squatter", at the very worst she will allow nice links to be on her page that would get people to SOaSF or SOaSU or SOaSO or whatever. Anyway, lesson learned. In another community I was part of (also resigned the list a few months back), when we started talking catchy names, I right away registered all the basic ones (.com, .net, .org) and immediately told the community they were available to them when a final decision was made. Alas, the choice I was rooting for came in second (luminerra), and thus my $21 were a waste, but would have been worth gold to the community if some squatter had taken 'em. Thank you all, and following David's suggestion, this is my one post for the day on this thread :-) Yama </body> </html>
