Hi, Laura<br>
<br>
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
<br>
and others. Naturally, it takes software engineers to develop and
maintain this software, but the vision must be about the result -
Sugar and the <br>
benefits if offers in an educational setting.<br>

<div>What is the problem we are trying to solve?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>- Current Vision Statement is not wrong – but
certainly is not inspiring or unique.</div>
<div>- Current Vision fails to define what we do as an
output: we provide infrastructure so that a community of
people can produce and deliver software to children.</div>
<div>- Current Vision fails to identify our unique
"selling" points: self-discovery learning experiences
and collaboration among young children of all
continents.</div>

<div>Blessings and thank you very much for your attention.</div>
