Hi Sean agree with you on this.. Although the local labs term is more precise, i see your suggestion more adjusted in a marketing point of view.

I would bet that most people searching for information about Sugar Labs the org would want to know if it's a company, a sponsored project, a nonprofit, etc. May I suggest instead: "establish regional, autonomous “Sugar Labs” around the world to help children "learn how to learn" by tailoring Sugar to local languages and curricula."
