They have very similar goals; the main differences in goals,
AFAICS, are:

1) release schedule (SoaS-linked vs. OLPC-linked);

2) target audience (SoaS-users vs. OLPC XO-1 build users);

3) the supported desktop experiences (Sugar alone vs. Sugar and
GNOME)

But I'm publishing my images mainly because I can.  I happen to be
creating them for my own (XO-1) use, and trying to make them useful to
the SoaS people and (hopefully) the F11-on-XO-1 people (in the
future).

They are, almost.  I'm also a commiter to fedora-xo (though I haven't
had time to do any SoaS or F11-on-XO-1 work lately) and an avid
follower of Daniel Drake, Stephen Parrish, and others' work therein.
So I hope we're not really duplicating much work, though we're
duplicating some git repos and bits-on-disk :).
