In particular I propose to encourage open bidding, hiring and bounty of services related to development, support and learning methodology of Sugar.<br /> <br /> === Base Values ===<br /> ¹ Sugar is Free Software because in this way it facilitates and makes explicit the freedom to learn to learn.<br /> <br /> ² Sugar Labs should continue to be hardware agnostic and clearly differentiate itself of any computer manufacturer.<br /> <br /> ³ Sugar will never be finished, it is a community and a continuous process rather than a product.<br /> <br /> ⁴ Sugar Ecosystem needs sustainability models to evolve.<br /> <br /> === Functional Proposal ===<br /> ==== 01 Design ====<br /> Sugar is not a finished product. We must strive to align development of Sugar with a common vision. At the moment, these objectives are expressed in the unfinished document &quot;Human Interface Guidelines&quot; which was proposed in 2006 with certain hardware restrictions and no used feedback. It is time for the community to revisit this document and update it.<br /> <br /> ==== 02 Development / Deployment ====<br /> • It&#039;s necessary to make experimentation with Sugar components and activities easier.<br /> <br /> • It&#039;s important to document how to deploy these experiments in the field.<br /> <br /> • Finally we must close the loop by implementing direct feedback mechanisms with final users.<br /> <br /> ==== 03 Support and Quality Assurance ====<br /> Local Labs should work together in establishing a &quot;Services Portfolio&quot; and a &quot;Code of Conduct&quot;. The first is meant to provide guidelines of services Local Labs can provide, the second to set a standard of quality and transparency. Support is the backbone of these services and I propose to work on an open, universal support mechanism.<br /> <br /> === References ===<br /> Beginnings in 2008.<br /> http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2008/02/one_laptop_per_child_one_train.html<br /> <br /> Work in 2009:<br /> http://blog.fuentelibre.org/<br /> <br /> Work in 2010:<br /> http://pe.sugarlabs.org/<br /> http://somosazucar.org/<br /> http://somosazucar.status.net/<br /> <br /> === Spanish Proposal and Video Interview ===<br /> http://somosazucar.org/2010/11/06/candidatura-para-sugar-labs-2010/<br /> <br /> http://somosazucar.org/files/2010/11/Picture-6.png</div>
