Hi Christian For my part I don't like "keep learning free" since it implies learning will become somehow unfree if there isn't a donation to Sugar Labs, a strange conclusion to say the least.
I feel other phases would be much more appropriate: spread sugar support sugar learners help us build sugar Marleters - any preferences?
