<p>Hi Samson,</p>
<p>Sugar barely runs on modern GNU/Linux, as it is stuck depending
on old, unsupported libraries (e.g. Collaboration is broken,
TamTam doesn't run). Important bugs go unnoticed (Browse 200
didn't launch for months with a trivial unreported bug).<br>
</p>
<p>Sugar Labs is committed to releasing Sugar every <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/index.php?search=six+months&title=Special%3ASearch&go=Go">six
months</a>. The wiki home page says Sam Parkinson is our release
manager, but the page was last updated in July 2016, and I don't
think this is the case anymore (but it's not known). We have no <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/0.112/Roadmap">release
schedule</a>. and a question about it recently went without
answer.<br>
</p>
<p>I don't see Sugar Labs organization as capable of strategically
funding Sugar development in any direction. Of course, volunteers
can work in whatever they like, if it fits their principles.<br>
</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p>Sebastian<br>

</div>
<div>I was surfing the internet, and i saw some interesting
articles concerning Microsoft partnership with some linux
distros like Fedora, Ubuntu and Suse. The whole deal is to
make Fedora, Ubuntu and Suse available in the windows store.
Meaning you can now run Ubuntu, Fedora and Suse like an
application without worrying to get a virtual box. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> I also think that Sugar Labs can also use this as an
advantage to port Sugar as an application in the new windows
10S. These will really go along for this organization and more
especially reaching more users in the MS world, because MS is
making sure schools uses windows as an E-learning tool. So i
think we should put this project as a goal for Sugar Labs,
like we did with Raspberry Pi. I think we should really join
the trend so that we can get more people using Sugar for
Learning. </div>

</div>
<div>So what are your thought on this development?</div>
