I think Red Hat should put all its eggs in the OLPC basket.

I don't see anything about the XO and Sugar that wouldn't solve
problems right here in the south side of Providence, RI.  That is,
unless OLPC Just Doesn't Work, in which case it will be of no use to
anyone, here or abroad.


I think there is definitely room to move towards introduction of Sugar
into US schools..sure. But I think you need to make some less
aggressive targets for near term successes that build inroads into US
local school systems at all levels that matter: teachers, IT
departments, and school boards;  before can can have a constructive
serious discussion about Sugar as a new an exciting forward looking
technology.

Less aggressive targets would include well-packaged and sustainable
moodle deployments and an establishment of a teacher/open-technology
development network. You get those in place and you make school
systems feel comfortable working with Red Hat as a partner in
developing technical solutions and you have a starting point towards
focusing a larger community towards Sugar as the new interface for
educational computing.
