There are several developer images with Sugar preinstalled here:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Developer_Images. If you are using Linux you
can also install the sugar system directly (see
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Category:Installing_Sugar). As for joining,
there isn't really much formalized yet, other than the mailing list I
mentioned. Hope this helps.
