I want to drive Sugar development...regardless of how its adopted.
The olpc maybe cool, but as a piece of software Sugar needs to
flourish on other hardware..including alpha workstations if we can
manage it.

Fedora as a community is a mix of software users and developers. We
use hardware only because we don't have the ability..yet..to run the
software as part of our own neural nets.  So as a result the hardware
is diverse through our community..but the software is shared.  For
Sugar to find a home and to gain a community following, we need to
position and champion Sugar as a cool piece of software divorced from
any particular piece of hardware.
