Agenda
- AWS update

AWS update
- SugarAI is built in mind so that different activities which plan on using online versions of AI services (like LLM responses), have a centralized place for deployment. SugarAI helps manage API keys and it's distributions. (https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-ai)
- We managed to increase our service quota for G instances from 0 to 16. This means we now have the required compute to go ahead and deploy SugarAI (which will be used by a bunch of activities).
- There is a concern of running out of these credits. ("that's better than not using them")
GSoC+DMP report
- The GSoC mid-term evaluations were last week. Everyone is on track.
- This week are the DMP mid-term presentations. Each DMP intern is doing a presentation in front of external mentors.
- We also sent feedback to our SSoC contributor.
- [Mid Term Blog Posts](https://www.sugarlabs.org/tags/midterm)
Sugar Systems
- We tried to change DNS to CloudFlare, ran into issues that were causing sugarlabs.org to be inaccessible, so we reverted to our previous status quo.
- As of right now, our wiki and MB server (both hosted on Sunjammer) seem to be working.
FSF 40
- https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/fsf40-celebration-registration
- Sugar Labs should participate in some way:
- We could have a booth or propose a session or run a workshop.
- It might be fun to have a session of FOSS and learning with Claudia and Cynthia Solomon
- Devin and Walter could do a MB workshop
phishin
- There is an uptick in phishing attacks towards sugar emails.
