Thanks. Next we will need to look at what happens to our product. This
includes ports to other platforms, packaging (yum and apt), and
getting improvements sent upstream and adopted.

Of these, I can only comment on Debian and Ubuntu. Three of the
packages now in distribution are broken. I don't understand how they
could have made it into distribution with unfulfillable dependencies
(Write and Poll), or with a flat-out inability to run once installed
(Write, Browse, graphical xo-get). I do understand packaging
unfinished packages with usable functionality, such as PlayGo.

So the questions that arise are about

* our QA process

* our packaging process.

* Who is in charge?

I know where to report basic Sugar bugs, and Ubuntu-specific bugs.
Where should I report bugs in images for qemu and VMWare? AFAIK,
joyride images won't run in qemu, which complains about 3DNow.
