    I am extremely disappointed with the direction this thread is
    taking. Based on our experience with the 2016 goals, this emphasis
    on starting over will lead to a restatement of the 2017 goals which
    at the end of the year will be as close to reality as they are
    today. <br>
    <br>
    The heart of Walter's document is:<br>
    <p>"We have several near-term opportunities that we should leverage:
    </p>
    <ul>
      <li> Raspian: The Raspberry Pi 3 is more than adequate to run
        Sugar—the experience rivals or exceeds that of the OLPC XO-4
        hardware, though not the OLPC NL3 hardware. While Raspberry Pi
        is not the only platform we should be targeting, it does have
        broad penetration into the Maker community, which shares a
        synergy with our emphasis on “doing”. It is low-hanging fruit.
        With a little polish we could have an image available for
        download from the Raspberry Pi website.</li>
      <li> Trisquel: We have the potential for better leveraging the
        Free Software Foundation as a vehicle for promoting Sugar. Their
        distro of choice is Trisquel and the maintainer does a great job
        of keep the Sugar packages up to date.</li>
      <li> Sugarizer: The advantage of Sugarizer is that it has the
        potential of reaching orders of magnitude more users since it is
        web-based and runs in Android and iOS. There is some work to be
        done to make the experience palatable on small screens and the
        current development environment is—at least my opinion—not
        scalable or maintainable. The former is a formidable problem.
        The latter quite easy to address.</li>
      <li> Stand-alone projects such as Music Blocks have merit as long
        as they maintain both a degree of connection with Sugar and
        promote the values of the community. It is not certain that
        these projects will lead users towards Sugar, but they do
        promote FOSS and Constructionist principles. And they have
        attracted new developers to the Sugar community."</li>
    </ul>
    <p>Lionel Laske offered this response:<br>
    </p>
    <div>"Thanks a lot for this long proposal. Great to hear you on
      that.</div>
    <div>I think that it's more a Sugar history than a goal/vision but
      it's good to read it from a guy that was the major contributor of
      the history.</div>
    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div>BTW I'm not agree with your goals.</div>
    <div>My view is that it's not a good idea to limit Sugar/SugarLabs
      to makers.  We can't target a so small market:</div>
    <div>- RaspberryPI ? RPI is a great tool. I personally used 2 RPI
      weekly for my personal usage. But it's a tool for geeks not for
      learners. It could be a good device as server (we're using it in
      classroom in France and in Madagascar and it's good for XSCE too)
      but it's a very poor tools for children: no screen, no keyboard,
      no mouse, not even a power adapter. It's just a board ! So I don't
      see the interest of Sugar on it.</div>
    <div>- Trisquel ? Probably a nice Linux distribution but how many
      users ? Not at all a largely distributed distribution like Fedora
      or Ubuntu.  Why doing effort on it ?</div>
    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div>I can't understand you even mention Windows support in your
      goals: just 99,9% of the PC market ! So if you're a Windows user
      you can't be a target for SugarLabs ? Plus, regarding devices: we
      should be better on touch devices because tablets is the favorite
      learning tools in classroom today, not PC. It's why Android (80%
      of the tablet market) and iOS are so important in my mind. We
      should go where users - children/teachers - are !</div>
    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div>We can't target makers just because Sugar has synergy with them
      and because we hope they help us to spread the world tomorrow.</div>
    <div>Our goals should be to deploy Sugar as a mainstream solution
      for everyone not a solution for a bunch of geeks. It's the only
      way to expand the Sugar community. You told about OLPC: the goal
      of One Laptop Per Child was to give a laptop to EVERY child, our
      goal should be to give Sugar to EVERY child too. The marketing
      effort should be in that way, no need to do marketing for makers,
      I'm sure they found us themselves.</div>
    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div>                 Lionel.</div>
    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div>P.S.: Regarding Sugarizer maintainability, it's just your
      opinion. Not sure it's the opinion for 20 others Sugarizer
      contributors. I don't think you could judge Sugarizer
      maintainability only because you've not successfully updated
      TurtleJS activity inside. I don't have success running TurtleJS on
      my side and had a very bad experience when trying to Sugarize it,
      it's not a reason for me to give a judgement about TurtleJS
      maintainability.   "<br>
      <br>
      Regarding Raspberry Pi, while of the millions in the wild
      certainly only a small minority are used for education of primary
      school aged children, the same is true for the number used to
      drive 3d printers. There are computer labs in operation based on
      Raspbery Pi with hand-me-down peripherals. Kids on Computers in
      Mexico supports several using XSCE as the school server (the KoC
      team never even considered Sugar as an option for the clients). 
      There is a specific opportunity in Kenya where desktops are being
      used with hand-me-down peripherals. These desktops could be
      replaced by RPi3 saving the difficulty in maintaining old ATX
      boxes (and making use of the peripherals where the desktop is not
      working). <br>
      <br>
      Lionel expresses concern that Trisquel is not well known in our
      community. However, the newbies to Sugar are unlikely to have a
      clue about the difference between Trisquel, Ubuntu, Debian or
      Fedora (let alone Arch or Gentoo or OpenBSD). What is critical is
      that it be dead simple to download and install Sugar and that
      Sugar works reliably.<br>
      <br>
      The maker community has MakerFaires. These are very effective
      opportunities to show what makers can do and to invite visitors to
      make something on the spot. Adam Holt and the XSCE team have
      demonstrated Sugar at several. The idea is that the exhibitor
      offers an opportunity for visitors to 'make' - something we can do
      easily with Sugar. Typical visitors are school-age children.<br>
    </div>
    <ul>
    </ul>
    I think our single goal is to escape the perception that Sugar is
    tied to the XO and establish the perception that Sugar is a viable
    learning platform available to the mainstream user. Continuing to
    tie Sugar to NL3, Infinity or Positivo (Rwanda) is wrong. We need to
    make Sugar a platform available independent of particular suppliers
    (the Achilles heal of OLPC). <br>
    <br>
    I think it is easy to understand what is needed to move toward this
    goal:<br>
    <br>
        Provide an image for the RPi3 which can be downloaded, copied to
    an SD microchip, and booted on an RPi3 configuration with an HDMI
    screen, usb keyboard and mouse. Sebastian Silva has offered some
    technical ideas on how to implement this. The XSCE team is very
    familiar with this process in connection with XSCE.<br>
    <br>
        Currently on the website we mention Fedora, Debian, and Ubuntu.
    At <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
      href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Downloads#Do_you_use_GNU.2FLinux">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Downloads#Do_you_use_GNU.2FLinux</a>
    we mention a potpourri of options including Trisquel. We need to
    have one. If there is disagreement with Walter's choice of Trisquel,
    let's have that discussion. In the meantime let's release a
    supported version of Sugar and document it as the choice on our
    website. <br>
    <br>
        Sugarizer. We need to work out with Lionel Laske if Sugarizer is
    an alternative to Sugar or is Sugar for mobile devices or is the
    successor to Sugar. Sugarizer has a unique advantage in that it does
    not need to be installed. However, Sugar offers a rich library of
    activities that will not be available to Sugarizer without a major
    investment in developer time.<br>
    <br>
    It is possible that Turtle Blocks is a standalone project but it is
    also a Sugar activity. Making Music Blocks a Sugar activity should
    not be difficult. The important aspect is that both add to the
    educational benefits offered by the Sugar platform.<br>
    <br>
    I would only add to Walter's document two observations. <br>
    <br>
    One, to attract potential new users and deployers of Sugar, we must
    remake the website so that it is easy for the curious to see what
    Sugar is and how to bring it to their own computer. To accomplish
    this, it must be possible to obtain the current release directly
    from our website. We need a user forum and a means for users to
    report problems similar to other open source projects. <br>
    <br>
    Second, we need a version for Windows. This is the most likely place
    potential deployers will stumble upon Sugar (remember, Negroponte's
    encounter). If possible it should be a Windows 10 application.
    Samuel Greenfeld suggests Sugarizer as the version for Windows.
    Sugarizer can be experienced by anyone with a browser and internet
    access - including, of course, Windows users. This user experience
    of Sugar can be featured immediately on our site. <br>
    <br>
    This thread needs to become a discussion of how our goals can be
    reached in 2017 and the pragmatic steps needed to get there.<br>
    <br>

    <br>
    P.S. What is the role of SOAS?<br>

                              <p>Hi Folks,</p>
                              <p><br>
                              </p>
                              <p>First, thanks go to Walter for the very
                                comprehensive review of Sugar Labs and
                                what has been done and is currently
                                being done. It is very helpful. However,
                                it, in no sense of the words, represents
                                goals and objectives for SL going
                                forward.</p>
                              <p><br>
                              </p>
                              <p>I know Sameer really does want to share
                                more with us to assist in developing a
                                viable list of goals and objectives, but
                                I also know he is very busy with his
                                teaching job.  So, I have taken the time
                                to find a couple of resources from
                                education that show what goals and
                                objectives really are and how the
                                activities we choose to undertake are
                                related. These resources are attached.</p>
                              <p><br>
                              </p>
                              <p>The next thing that needs to be done is
                                to go through Walter's fine document and
                                identify all the specific areas Sugar
                                Labs works with and write one goal for
                                each. Don't do anything else until these
                                goals are written. These should be done
                                in a sharable online document. Everyone
                                who wants to participate should be
                                encouraged to do so. There should be no
                                special priority attached to any of
                                these goals. At this point they would be
                                of equal value.</p>
                              <p><br>
                              </p>
                              <p>There should be one goal for each
                                area... I suggest we start with these 4
                                broad areas:</p>
                              <p><br>
                              </p>
                              <ol
                                style="margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px">
                                <li>Sugar<br>
                                </li>
                                <li>Sugarizer<br>
                                </li>
                                <li>Stand Alone Projects<br>
                                </li>
                                <li>School Server<br>
                                </li>
                              </ol>
                              <p><br>
                              </p>
                              <p>Each goal should be concise and
                                precise. <u>Preferably one sentence.</u>
                                Under each goal go objectives. There can
                                be <u>more than one</u> objective per
                                goal. </p>
                              <p><br>
                              </p>
                              <p>An objective should follow the form of
                                <b>Who</b> is going to do <b>What</b>
                                by <b>When</b> and <span
                                  style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif,EmojiFont,"Apple

                                  Color Emoji","Segoe UI
                                  Emoji",NotoColorEmoji,"Segoe
                                  UI Symbol","Android
                                  Emoji",EmojiSymbols;font-size:16px">
                                  <b>How</b></span> will success be
                                measured. </p>
                              <p><br>
                              </p>
                              <p>A goal can have several objectives
                                under it... for example, the objectives
                                for Sugar could have objectives
                                addressing both Raspian and Trisquel
                                (two separate categories).</p>
                              <p><br>
                              </p>
                              <p>Once the objectives are filled in, it
                                will be time to start working on
                                activities. These will include actual
                                activities like producing a new version
                                of Sugarizer, conducting a Music Blocks
                                workshop, showing Sugar Labs "products"
                                and recruiting users and volunteers at
                                Linux conferences and educational
                                conferences, etc.</p>
                              <p><br>
                              </p>
                              <p>After this every project proposed can
                                be analyzed with the question in mind,
                                "How does this project help Sugar Labs
                                achieve its stated objectives (and thus
                                its goals as well).</p>
                              <p><br>
                              </p>
                              <p>Please! Someone start a doc for this to
                                all happen. Begin with just the 4 (or 5
                                if you want to separate Raspian and
                                Trisquel). Make a simple goal for each.
                                Then collaborate on getting the goals
                                "just right" before moving on to
                                objectives. </p>
                              <p><br>
                              </p>
                              <p>Then do the same thing for objectives.</p>
                              <p><br>
                              </p>
                              <p>This may seem like a lot of "busy
                                work." But, trust me it isn't. It will
                                give Sugar Labs a strong platform to
                                work from, enabling the best use of
                                limited time and resources.</p>

                                                          grounded in

                                                          the 1960s and
                                                          70s at MIT.
                                                          Papert
                                                          pioneered the
                                                          use of the

                                                          children to

                                                          them in the
                                                          “construction
                                                          of knowledge.”

                                                          Cynthia

                                                          expanded up

                                                          is “learning
                                                          through
                                                          doing.” If you
                                                          want more
                                                          learning, you
                                                          want more
                                                          doing. At
                                                          Sugar Labs we
                                                          provide tools
                                                          to promote
                                                          doing. (We

                                                          tools, not
                                                          instructional
                                                          materials.)
                                                          However, we go
                                                          beyond “doing”
                                                          by
                                                          incorporating

                                                          Child (OLPC)
                                                          project and
                                                          consequently
                                                          it has
                                                          inherited many
                                                          of its goals
                                                          from that
                                                          project. The
                                                          goal of OLPC
                                                          is to bring
                                                          the ideas of
                                                          Constructionism
                                                          to scale in
                                                          order to reach
                                                          more children.
                                                          A particular
                                                          focus is on
                                                          children in
                                                          the developing
                                                          world. In
                                                          order to meet
                                                          that goal,
                                                          Sugar, which
                                                          was originally
                                                          developed for
                                                          OLPC, was by
                                                          necessity a
                                                          small-footprint
                                                          solution that
                                                          required few
                                                          resources in
                                                          terms of CPU,
                                                          memory,

                                                          connectivity.
                                                          The major
                                                          change on
                                                          focus from the
                                                          OLPC project
                                                          is that Sugar

                                                          provide as
                                                          much control
                                                          as possible to
                                                          our community
                                                          members,
                                                          including our
                                                          end-users. (In
                                                          fact, one of
                                                          our assertions
                                                          is that by
                                                          enabling our
                                                          users to
                                                          participate in
                                                          the
                                                          development of
                                                          the tools that
                                                          they use will
                                                          lead to deeper
                                                          engagement in
                                                          their own
                                                          learning.)
                                                          Towards these
                                                          ends, we chose
                                                          the GPL as our
                                                          primary
                                                          license. It
                                                          has been said
                                                          of the GPL
                                                          that it
                                                          “restricts my
                                                          right [as a
                                                          developer] to
                                                          restrict yours
                                                          [as a user and
                                                          potential
                                                          developer]”,
                                                          which seems
                                                          ideal for a
                                                          project that
                                                          wants to
                                                          engage a broad
                                                          and diverse
                                                          set of
                                                          learners. But
                                                          at Sugar Labs
                                                          we go beyond
                                                          the usual
                                                          goals of FOSS:
                                                          a license to
                                                          make changes
                                                          to the code is
                                                          not enough to
                                                          ensure that
                                                          users make
                                                          changes. We
                                                          also strive to
                                                          provide the
                                                          means to make
                                                          changes. Our
                                                          success in
                                                          this goal is
                                                          best reflected
                                                          in the number
                                                          of patches we
                                                          receive from
                                                          our community.
                                                          (We achieve
                                                          this goal
                                                          through
                                                          providing
                                                          access to

                                                          development

                                                          actively
                                                          participate in

                                                          prominent
                                                          bloggers and
                                                          pundits in the
                                                          education
                                                          arena who are
                                                          widely read
                                                          and who might
                                                          be receptive
                                                          to what we are
                                                          doing. One
                                                          significant
                                                          challenge is
                                                          that GNU/Linux
                                                          remains on the
                                                          far periphery
                                                          of the Ed Tech
                                                          world.
                                                          Although the
                                                          “love affair”
                                                          with all
                                                          things Apple
                                                          seems to be
                                                          over, the new
                                                          elephant in
                                                          the
                                                          room—Chromebooks
                                                          and Google
                                                          Docs—is
                                                          equally
                                                          difficult to
                                                          co-exist with.
                                                          Personally, I
                                                          see the most
                                                          potential
                                                          synergy with
                                                          the Maker
                                                          movement,
                                                          which is
                                                          building up
                                                          momentum in
                                                          extra-curricular
                                                          programs,
                                                          where FOSS and
                                                          GNU-Linux are
                                                          welcome (hence
                                                          my earlier
                                                          focus on RPi).
                                                          (There are
                                                          even some
                                                          schools that
                                                          are building
                                                          their entire
                                                          curriculum
                                                          around PBL.)
                                                          We can and
                                                          should develop
                                                          and run some
                                                          workshops that
                                                          can introduce
                                                          Sugar within
                                                          the context of
                                                          the Maker
                                                          movement.
                                                          (Toward that
                                                          end, I have
                                                          been working
                                                          with some
                                                          teachers on
                                                          how to
                                                          leverage, for
                                                          example,
                                                          Turtle Blocks
                                                          for 3D
                                                          printing.) It
                                                          is very much a
                                                          tool-oriented
                                                          community with
                                                          little overall
                                                          discussion of
                                                          architectural
                                                          frameworks, so
                                                          we have some
                                                          work to do.
                                                          But there is
                                                          lots of
                                                          low-hanging
                                                          fruit there.</div>
