Sweet nonsense omelet

| Nicholas, evidently, still remains blissfully unaware of any of this. As is
| plain to see from his own words, what he considers to be the biggest mistake
| of the project has nothing to do with Sugar the GUI, and everything to do
| with the gross, hairy, complicated systems development work that OLPC was
| doing to support the XOâs special hardware features. And to be clear, I
| mean âshort bus specialâ, not âshiny unicorn specialâ.

Inventing a New Paradigm: SugarLabs and the Sugar UI
,----[ Quote ]
| To say that the technology industry moves quickly would be understated. Firms
| must innovate, adapt and grow, or fail. Two years ago when One Laptop per
| Child began shipping their XO-1 laptop, they defined an industry. People were
| excited not for OLPCâs mission, which always seemed to be a footnote, but for
| a diminutive inexpensive laptop. Often, the laptop was stated to include a
| custom distribution of Linux called Sugar that was built to help kids learn.
| But Sugar is more than just a Linux distro.
