I personally think that making possible for XO-1 owners to upgrade to
recent Sugar releases is very important for Sugar Labs, and if we are
the only organization that can take this challenge, then we should do
it.

But if we decided to go for it, I see two fundamental pieces missing:

- someone to coordinate the effort,

- a team of people willing to test new images, file bug reports, help
with triaging, etc.

How can we get that? Maybe the OLPC Support Gang would like to get
involved in this? People from existing deployments?

Regards,

Tomeu
