You are all very welcome to join the Alioth OLPC project, with write 
access to Git of all sugar-related packages.

1) Create an Alioth account (if you don't have one already): 
http://alioth.debian.org/account/register.php

2) Login, and do a "Request to join" for the Alioth projects olpc 
(organisational, to show your kind of commitment) and collab-maint 
(for Git write access): http://alioth.debian.org/projects/debian-olpc/ & 
http://alioth.debian.org/projects/collab-maint/

3) Bookmark the status page of packages maintained by the OLPC Alioth 
group: 
http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=debian-olpc-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org


By preparing the packages together we minimize the need for patching and 
other duplicated work across distributions.

Ideally Debian, Ubuntu, Edubuntu and any other deb-based distros need 
the exact same packaging, but for the cases that is not the reality (for 
example Ubuntu needs for transition dependencies that I dislike for 
Debian) we can use multiple branches.



Kind regards,
