| Interview with Walter Bender of Sugar Labs |
|
Sean Daly and I had the opportunity to interview by email Walter Bender, formerly president of software and content with OLPC and now the founder of Sugar Labs. Sugar Labs is the name of the nonprofit organization being established to support the development of the educational Sugar software, which was originally created for the One Laptop Per Child project. You don't need an XO laptop any more to try it, by the way. There's even a LiveCD of Sugar, if you would like to try it out without having to install anything or change your operating system. It's hardware agnostic. We tried to ask Bender everything you'd want to know, like has Microsoft -- like some wicked witch cursing the newborn princess in a fairy tale -- ruined everything yet? Is Sugar/Linux being given last rites on the XO? What about the Intel Classmate push to rule the developing world's laptops for schools? Did they win that smarmy race? |
