+1 Bert and others <my2cents> Outside of the opensource world I've seen many non-mainstream groups become too thinly spread due the many dedicated individuals involved together. I've seen in first hand in a few different sports, and know of it in a couple of other examples, such as French left wing political parties. I dont want to repeat everyone, but I fully agree with SoaS being Fedora, and other distros a seperate thing for those want to do that. If distro support was a task for the sweet sugar people there would be less resources on actual sugar development. Forgive me, as I tend to have a habit of stating the obvious.

You can call that whatever you want, but please not in public. SoaS means a very specific distro, not just any Linux+Sugar slapped onto a USB flash drive. > On Thu, Jun 18, 2009 at 8:25 PM, Sean DALY<<a href="http://sdaly.be/" target="_blank">sdaly.be</a>@<a href="http://gmail.com/" target="_blank">gmail.com</a>> wrote: >> I beg everyone's pardon, I was under the impression that SoaS is >> Fedora-specific... are there plans to do versions based on other >> distros? No, there are no such plans currently. IMHO we should not water down the meaning of "SoaS". - Bert -</div>
