As of last week, OLPC has started working directly with Fedora to make
a native Fedora desktop run on the XO. I hope this leads to more
upstream interest porting more platforms to the XO. Currently, OLPC is
working pretty hard to get 8.2 released. Please remind me in a couple
of weeks (in case I forget) to set up some hardware contacts for you.

We are working with Jason Kridner from TI about doing a port to the
beagleboard using the OE toolkit. We are setting up a colobration
infrastructure at http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardSugar . From an upstream
perspective, is this list and the OE wiki the best places to have
OE/Sugar discussions.
