Great thread idea ! I must answer.
> 1) What brought you into the OLPC and/or Sugar project(s)? I've subscribed to the first G1G1. The laptop was terribly late and I've planned it for my child's birthday so I bought another on eBay. Once I've got the XO in my hand, I fall in love of it. So I've decided to build a group of people to help this beautiful project. It was the start of OLPC France... > 2) What keeps you going in the OLPC and/or Sugar project(s)? There is 200 children in Madagascar which use each week XO from OLPC France. I must help them do the best with this tool and give them all possible opportunities. > 3) What are the challenges you face in the OLPC and/or Sugar project(s)? OLPC never listen small deployments. It's complex just to buy laptops to them ! SugarLabs guys are sometimes too technical and not enough marketing: never even consider releasing a version 1.0 of Sugar in 5 years ! The XS is too complex to deploy and to use for non technical guys. > 4) What would you change/do differently so OLPC and/or Sugar > project(s) could do better? Everything will be easier if OLPC consider to allow selling XO laptops in any quantity. OLPC should also have guys dedicated to exchange between deployments: every deployment had to reinvent the wheel. An easier XS (in a good way with XS CE) would be nice. Lower the barrier to entry for new technician interested to contribute to SugarLabs.
