Please take a look at SugarLabs.
The Sugar desktop is being spun off from OLPC. We are working on putting together a desktop that will work on any computer. Fedora, Debian, and Red Hat are all building packages which allow you to install Sugar on top of their distributions.
I was an early OPLC contributor and I quickly became disgruntled by their lack of transparency. That being said, remember the mess Oracle made when they showed up at the linux foundation summit with a shopping list of stuff that they wanted the kernel develops to work on.
Nicklaus' main problem was and still is hubris. When he could not figure out how to work with the linux community, he stomped out of the room yelling, "I didn't want to plan with you anyway!" Every time he tried to sell to a national government, Microsoft's sales force would step in. Who did he expect to win the sales game, him or Microsoft? So he stomps of the room yelling, "We really intended to play with Microsoft all along!"
