Sugar 0.106 must be used in the Fedora SoaS Spin

After having informed us about the proposal to move the Fedora Atomic Host development cycle to a two-week cadence, Jan Kurik came with a new proposal for the upcoming version of the operating system.

As you might know, Fedora Linux has an official edition called Fedora SoaS Spin, built around the Sugar interface and designed from the ground up to be deployed on the XO laptop a.k.a. OLPC (One Laptop per Child).

The new proposal suggests that the Sugar interface of the Fedora SoaS Spin be updated to the latest upstream 0.106 stable release, which comes with several attractive features that will benefit both Fedora users and Sugar Labs customers.

"This feature will let all involved projects like Fedora and Sugar Labs profit, as it brings the latest and greatest bits from the Sugar community for education into Fedora. By making Sugar more readily available, it's easier for users to play with it, become involved, and contribute back," reads the proposal.

Updating the Sugar interface to version 0.106 will offer a new path for those wanting to contribute to Sugar Labs and OLPC (One Laptop per Child) on the Fedora Linux operating system.
