-I'm a volunteer working for the [[Sugar Labs]] foundation.
-Until February 2008, I was a full-time volunteer developer at OLPC.  My job was hacking X, the base Fedora OS, the Linux kernel, some i18n and input work.  Later on, until April 2008, I was CTO of OLPC Europe and traveled around to present our project to government officials and dignitaries.  Curremtly, I'm a volunteer at [http://www.olenepal.org/ OLE Nepal] in Kathmandu, Nepal.
-== Oversight Board Platform ==
-'''The open source method is based on participation, not consumption.'''
-To position itself as THE educational environment of the future, Sugar needs
-to grow a larger user and developer base.  This is only possible if we keep
-growing as a truly community-driven project with its own independent identity.
-=== Goals for Sugar Labs ===
-. Further enhance our public-facing web presence and development infrastructure;
-. Work with multiple hardware and OS vendors to make Sugar available to
-the widest-possible user base;
-. Foster the creation of companies and groups offering professional Sugar
-consulting and outsourcing;
-. Continue to enroll volunteer community members in key roles of our
-infrastructure and public relations;
-. Raise funding to sponsor developer meetings and our presence at major
-international events.
-=== Anti-goals for Sugar Labs ===
-. Hire a large team of software developers – this would end up discouraging
-outside contributors;
-. Brew a custom OS platform – we work with distributors, we don't compete against
-them;
-. Let Sugar Labs become unfairly biased towards specific partners –
-that would undermine our relationships with other partners;
-. Trade project autonomy for funding or support – we're glad to offer our
-services, not our souls.
-=== Personal agenda ===
-I'm exploring the possibility to build a small team of Sugar hackers that
-would offer consulting services such as porting to specific hardware
-platforms or development of features.  Internet would be our office.
-Over the next few years, computers will become central in world education.
-This will in turn stimulate the creation of a florid industry offering
-hardware, software, and contents for the specific needs of schools.
-Sugar has a great competitive advantage over any proprietary
-offering on the horizon and it has a huge momentum.  This is why I also see
-Sugar as a rewarding business opportunity to invest in.
-== On openness ==
- Openness will be our greatest and most lasting strength.  If we shy away
- from it now it will never return.
