Page 3 of 3 Sugar Labs says that many of the core Sugar developers are participating in the launch, including Marco Pesenti Gritti, Bert Freudenberg, Simon Schampijer, Bernardo Innocenti, Aaron Kaplan, Christoph Derndorfer, and Tomeu Vizoso.

Sugar is the first system specifically aimed at helping children to learn while supporting a rich variety of contributed applications. As third-party developers, my colleagues at Viewpoints Research Institute look forward to a great relationship with Sugar Labs.” Tomeu Vizoso said that: “Sugar has been brought to maturity by OLPC and a relatively small team of community supporters. The time has come to unlock Sugar's potential as a global education project; the creation of the Sugar Labs is the next step expanding upon a project where people from all around the world can contribute to improving education, with the assurance that their efforts will be of benefit to everyone.” Good luck, Sugar Labs, I hope your existence has a much sweeter aftertaste now that you’re independent and free to create without any secret hidden agendas in the background.
