Wow! Apoio do criador do Mobilis! A segunda prioridade do Sugarlabs é rodar Sugar em todas as plataformas. Acho o caminho certo, também.
Haverá um mix de plataformas no projeto UCA brasileiro, por contingências da transparência do processo licitatório. Um lote pode ganhar o OLPC, outro lote pode ganhar o Classmate, ou Mobilis. O importante é que o ambiente seja padronizado. Sugar pode se solidificar nessa vaga.
