Students working on Sugar related projects don't have to be restricted to Sugar Labs. Two GSoC 2008 students worked on OLPC projects through other mentoring organizations; one through Python and the other I can't recall. If there aren't enough OLPC specific projects, it would still make sense for OLPC students to work on Sugar projects. Though, judging by the number of quality proposals last year, I don't forsee there being any shortage of project ideas.
