    Hi, Gonzalo<br>
    <br>
    I am an old curmudgeon, so please excuse any bad email manners.<br>
    <br>
    The Sugar development team has done a superb job of keeping up with
    the changing technologies.<br>
    My point is only that when Sugar is evaluated going forward, it will
    be on its success in delivering a superior<br>
    educational experience to school children, especially in the
    developing world.<br>
    <br>
    The demonstrated success of XO deployments in dozens of languages
    dwarfs anything I am aware of from alternative platforms.<br>
    The insistence on open source and open educational resources enables
    our deployments to proceed without yearly intellectual property <br>
    fees. <br>
    <br>
