Oversight Board/2026-2027-candidates/Krish Pandya

I, Krish Pandya (aka MostlyK), am applying for Sugar Labs Oversight Board. Over the past year, I've worked with Sugar Labs, focusing mainly on Sugar, sugar-toolkit and Sugar-AI. Maintenance, modernization and long-term sustainability.

My motivation is simple. Sugar should stay relevant and usable as time marches on. That means maintaining code we already have, modernizing where it's needed, and bringing in current technologies like LLMs, computer vision models, TTS, etc. without losing sight of the original education mission. I want Sugar to grow into the next decade instead of aging out of it.

My vision is where new contributors can onboard easily, understand the stack, and ship improvements we need without friction. OLPC users and students relying on Sugar shouldn't be left behind as the world moves forward. If we want Sugar to matter ten years from now, we have to rebuild some of it today. My goal is to help Sugar Labs evolve, by strengthening it so it lasts.
