Hi Ibiam,<br>
<br>
Thanks for your interest! It inspires us to continue to make a stand
for users such as yourself.<br>
<br>
Yes it is a reaction to an arbitrary release process by an employee
of this laptop vendor.<br>
<br>
I would like to add that while I think it is likely that <i>every</i>
current and former employee of it, is an <b>excellent person</b>
individually, and we have sincere appreciation for their work, <b>as
an organization</b>, they've been erratic at best.<br>
<br>
In fact it is not even clear who they are (Inc? Association?
Foundation?) - yet we have remained branded with their logo.<br>
<br>
Sugar Labs has a duty to protect downstream users, developers and
vendor freedom, and to remain <i>truly </i>neutral to hardware
providers.<br>
<br>
Happy Software Freedom Day everyone!<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Sebastian<br>
