Notes
Telling stories
telling awesome stories to demonstrate the possibilities enabled by Sugar
- Pentagram's help in designing the interface
- feedback process (once it's actually done)
- Sugar as a playground for innovation and experimentation (an inspiring comment Tomeu made during Q&A)
- two committees we should consider adding:
- propaganda (ChristophD has been suggested for that role)
- outreach
- university/students liason
- educators
TO-DOs
- find logo
- finding out who owns the rights to "Sugar" and "Sugar Labs" => we have to own the Sugar Labs brand and related entities
- have an organizational roadmap, not just a software roadmap
- set up feedback process
- make sure to follow-up on projects
- clean up wiki
- next release in 6-months should have the biggest holes fixed
- get an extra or two developers working on Sugar for 4 to 6 months
- testing: outsource it to organizations (ChristophD will talk to people at universities in Graz, Austria on September 21/22 so let's see what happens); requires strong leadership (!); Gnome bug-days as an example; push for automated testing
- emphasis on the importance of responding to bug-reports, even though we don't necessarily have to fix them
- understanding how community works -> make it better at Sugar Labs (find quick wins, proof-points)
- GdK: "simplify and amplify"
- responsibilities
- Sugar Labs Ambassadors (?)
- weekly updates to walter, but also try to spread to more publications (e.g. Sugar ported to Beagle board @ linuxdevices.com)
- focus on work planned for next week
- @IAEP: media liason to spread the story
- engage community via IAEP and Sugar to harness people
- IRC: weekly Sugar Labs meeting, infrequent Board meetings for high-level and sensitive issues such as business, hiring, etc., board meetings open to everyone - patches welcome, candidates have to keep motivated; not only board members can run committees but board holds people accountable
- set up Ministry of Propaganda / Outreach / Truth
- IRL meetings: e.g. FUDCon Boston
