To be effective, the members of the Sugar Labs community must to work together; our code of conduct lays down the "ground rules" for our cooperative efforts.

The Sugar Labs community supports the educators and software developers who use and develop the Sugar Learning Platform. Sugar is a place for children to explore, learn, teach, and reflect. Sugar Labs is a place where we all can explore, learn, teach, and reflect. The same underlying principles that make Sugar great—discovery, collaboration, and reflection—are central to the way the Sugar community operates.

We chose the name Sugar Labs, plural, because we are more than one lab, one person, or one idea. Plurality captures the spirit of sharing, cooperation, and criticism that is at the heart of the free software/open-source movement. We collaborate freely on a volunteer basis to build software for everyone's benefit. We improve on the work of others, which we have been given freely, and then share our improvements on the same basis.

That collaboration depends on good relationships between developers (and end-users). We have agreed upon the following Code of Conduct as a guide to our collaboration and cooperation.

This Code of Conduct covers your behavior as a member of the Sugar Labs community, in any forum, mailing list, wiki, web site, IRC channel, code-sprint, public meeting, or private correspondence. The Oversight Board will arbitrate in any dispute over the conduct of a member of the community.

== Be considerate ==
Your work will be used by other people, and you in turn will depend on the work of others. Any decision you take will affect users and colleagues, and we expect you to take those consequences into account when making decisions. For example, when we are in a feature freeze, please don't upload dramatically new versions of critical system software, as other people will be testing the frozen system and not be expecting big changes.

== Be respectful ==
The Sugar Labs community and its members treat one another with respect. Everyone can make a valuable contribution to Sugar. We may not always agree, but disagreement is no excuse for poor behavior and poor manners. We might all experience some frustration now and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into a personal attack. It's important to remember that a community where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one. We expect members of the Sugar community to be respectful when dealing with other contributors as well as with people outside the Sugar project, and with users of Sugar.

== Be collaborative ==
Sugar Labs and Free Software are about collaboration and working together. Collaboration reduces redundancy of work done in the Free Software world, and improves the quality of the software produced. You should aim to collaborate with other Sugar contributors, as well as with the entire Sugar ecosystem that is interested in the work you do. Your work should be done transparently and patches from Sugar should be given back to the community when they are made, not just when the distribution releases. If you wish to work on new code for existing upstream projects, at least keep those projects informed of your ideas and progress. It may not be possible to get consensus from upstream or even from your colleagues about the correct implementation of an idea, so don't feel obliged to have that agreement before you begin, but at least keep the outside world informed of your work, and publish your work in a way that allows outsiders to test, discuss and contribute to your efforts.

== Be flexible ==
The Sugar Labs community and its members come from various backgrounds and cultures. It is important to remember that Sugar Labs is a place for educators and developers; parents, teachers, and children; and speakers of many languages to work together. Try to find the appropriate forum for your topic, level or expertises, or language. If you come across a post that is in an incorrect forum, please respectfully redirect the poster to the appropriate. However, a project such as Sugar Labs requires communication between groups and languages.

== When you disagree, consult others ==
The Sugar community is not immune to disagreements—both political and technical. We do not try to avoid disagreements or differing views, but we do try to resolve them constructively. Turn to the community and to community processes to seek advice and to mediate and resolve disagreements. Community resources include an Oversight Board which will help to decide the right course for Sugar Labs, project teams and team leaders who may be able to help you, and an ombudsman who will investigate complaints and, where possible, resolve them by making recommendations to the community. We welcome you to fork the Sugar code base if you are determined to go your own way; enabling the community to test your ideas and possibly merge them back into the mainstream.

== When you are unsure, ask for help ==
Nobody knows everything, and nobody is expected to be perfect in the Sugar community. Asking questions avoids many problems down the road, and so questions are encouraged. Those who are asked should be responsive and helpful. However, when asking a question, care must be taken to do so in an appropriate forum.

== Step down considerately ==
Developers on every project come and go and Sugar Labs is no different. When you leave or disengage from the project, in whole or in part, we ask that you do so in a way that minimizes disruption to the project. This means you should tell people you are leaving and take the proper steps to ensure that others can pick up where you leave off.

== Mailing lists and web forums ==
This code of conduct applies very much to your behavior in mailing lists and web forums.

#Please watch your language. The Sugar community is a family-friendly place.
#Please use a valid email address to which direct responses can be made.
#Please avoid flamewars, trolling, personal attacks, and repetitive arguments.

Oversight Board/Decisions

2017-09-29T17:52:25Z

Laura Vargas: /* 2017-04-21 */ Motion is agreed, added references

This page (largely complete) is intended to be a one-stop place for reviewing all of the Sugar Labs oversight board (SLOB) actions and decisions.

The date headlines are the date a motion is agreed, disagreed, or - in the case of motions to be voted on via email within 7 days of posting which did not get voted on - failed by timing out.

We welcome non-member proposals at the time of a meeting; but they require both a proposer and seconder from among the members of the board. Several proposals that were not taken as motions are shown here struck out, as in <s>MEMBER MOTION</s>.

==2017-09-20==
;AGREED MOTION 2017-17 Proposed by Walter Bender, seconded by Sameer Verma
Motion: Approve a travel advance for US $2550 (US $2000 SFC prepurchase of an airline ticket and $550 towards local transport) for Samson Goddy's travel to the Google Summer of Code mentor's summit.
 5 in favor, 1 recuse, 1 vote yet to be counted [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/iaep/2017-September/020184.html]

;FAILED MOTION 2017-16 Proposed by Laura Vargas, not seconded
Motion: To appoint Sugar Labs Oversight Board member Laura Vargas as Sugar Labs Financial Manager with a monthly stipend of US$ 200 in accordance with AGREED MOTION 2017-13.

==2017-09-15==
;AGREED MOTION 2017-16 Proposed by Walter Bender, seconded by Samson Goddy
Motion: To answer the questions posed by the SFC regarding the xo-computer icon as follows:
:(Q1) Why is the XO logo included in the sugar-artwork repo now -- and does the SLOBs want to keep it there?
:(A1) The xo-computer icon has been part of Sugar since we first designed and built Sugar (beginning in 2006) and we would like to keep it there until such time as the design team decides there is a reason to change it.
:(Q2) Assuming the SLOBs want to keep the XO logo in sugar-artwork: what outcome would the SLOBs *prefer* to see happen? E.g.,
:- Does Sugar want downstream users to be able to redistribute and modify Sugar's codebase with or without the XO trademark file included in the program?
:- Does the SLOBs want downstream users to be able to modify and redistribute the XO trademark image itself, or is that less important to Sugar?
:(A2) Sugar Artwork, including the xo-computer icon, is currently licensed under the GPL and we would like our downstream users to be able to use all of our artwork under the terms of that license. As far as the use of any trademark image outside of the context of Sugar, we have no opinion.

;FAILED MOTION 2017-12 Proposed by Walter Bender, seconded by Samson Goddy: Motion: Samson Goddy has been selected as a Sugar Labs representative to the Google Summer of Code mentor summit. He has requested a travel advance to cover the costs of his visa application. The advance, including wire fees comes to $US 627.05. This motion is to approve the travel advance. (As additional background, Google will be covering up to $2200 in travel expenses for two representatives to attend the summit. Since our other representative is local to the SF area, the bulk of that money would be available to cover Samson's travel, so the net impact on SL funds will be negligible.

;AGREED MOTION 2016-42B (formerly 2016-42) Walter Bender, posting motion initially drafted by Caryl Bigenho (member) and Tony Anderson (SLOB) and Adam Holt (SLOB): The Sugar Labs Oversight Board shall appoint a Finance Manager by majority vote from among the members of Sugar Labs Oversight Board. The Finance Manager serves at the will of the board. The Finance Manager may be paid a stipend at the discretion of the board. Duties of the Finance Manager will be to: 1. Serve as Sugar Lab's central coordinator on all financial matters. 2. Report quarterly at a scheduled Oversight Board meeting the following: Confirmation of the accuracy of the previous quarter's report according to the Software Freedom Conservancy; Balance at the beginning of the quarter preceding the meeting; Expenses during the quarter; Income received during the quarter; Balance at the end of the quarter. 3. The Finance Manager has discretion to approve petty cash amounts up to $200 to pay for miscellaneous expenditures critical for the functioning of Sugar Labs. If approved and everything is in order, these will often be paid within (about) 30 days of when they are submitted to the Software Freedom Conservancy, who control Sugar Labs' banking. If not approved, the applicant is free to ask for a vote at a future Oversight Board meeting. 4. All motions for funding of larger projects will be presented first to the Finance Manager who will review them to be sure the funds are being used in a way that appears fiscally sound. If everything is in order, the Finance Manager will place the motion on the agenda for consideration at the next possible Oversight Board meeting, and circulate on the IAEP mailing list for public discussion. 5. At the meeting, after a finance motion has been moved and seconded, discussion should be confined to the motion.

;AGREED MOTION 2016-41 Walter Bender, posting motion initially drafted by Dave Crossland: To request a membership donation from each currently active Sugar Labs Member to be allocated to the General Fund for the calendar year of 2016, and a public statement about how they use Sugar and why they are involved in Sugar Labs to post on the website; there is no penalty for not paying a membership or not providing a statement; by default members who donate will be kept private, and requested to opt-in to be recognised. The donation requested will be $12 USD from members who self-identify as low-income (such as students); $36 USD from general members; $120 from members who can opt-in to be placed prominently on the website; and $600 from members who can (privately if they wish) submit a release codename, subject to SLOB approval. (4 votes for, 1 against, 2 abstain) (note that the "low income" solicitation did not reach consensus during the meeting and Dave Crossland offered to work with the board to ensure the solicitation will meet their approval before it is sent to members.)

(not seconded)
;AGREED MOTION 2016-34 Walter Bender, posting motion initially drafted by Dave Crossland: Whereas it is the general policy of Sugar Labs to retain all GSoC mentoring stipends in the General Fund, if a mentor asks a GSoC Admin (for example in 2016, Walter or Lionel) to pay a stipend to a mentor, their share of the stipend amount will be disbursed without further motions to approve the spending. The share is calculated from the total awarded for the GSoC slot by Google, minus 10% (as all Sugar Labs income is donated to Software Freedom Conservancy for organisational services), minus 5% (retained for Sugar Labs General Funds), divided by the number of mentors for the project. For example, in a year with 6 slots and 10 mentors at $500, the total revenue is $3,000; 10% for Conservancy is $300 and 5% for Sugar Labs is $150, leaving a total of $2,550 or $255 per mentor.

;<s>MEMBER MOTION 2016-26</s> Dave Crossland: To request donations from Sugar Labs Members, to be allocated to the General Fund through the SFC. The annual donation requested will be $12 USD from members who self-identify as low-income (such as students); $36, $120, or $600 USD from general members. (not seconded)

;<s>MEMBER MOTION 2016-25</s> Dave Crossland: To request a membership donation from each currently active Sugar Labs Member to be allocated to the General Fund for the calendar year of 2016, and a public statement about how they use Sugar and why they are involved in Sugar Labs to post on the website; there is no penalty for not paying a membership or not providing a statement; by default members who donate will be kept private, and requested to opt-in to be recognised. The donation requested will be $12 USD from members who self-identify as low-income (such as students); $36 USD from general members; $120 from members who can opt-in to be placed prominently on the website; and $600 from members who can (privately if they wish) submit a release codename, subject to SLOB approval. (seconded at http://www.mail-archive.com/iaep@lists.sugarlabs.org/msg16767.html but all SLOBs abstained)

;<s>MEMBER MOTION 2016-24</s> Dave Crossland: Whereas it is the general policy of Sugar Labs to retain all GSoC mentoring stipends in the General Fund, if a mentor asks a GSoC Admin (for example in 2016, Walter or Lionel) to pay a stipend to a mentor, their share of the stipend amount will be disbursed without further motions to approve the spending. The share is calculated from the total awarded for the GSoC slot by Google, minus 10% (as all Sugar Labs income is donated to Software Freedom Conservancy for organisational services), minus 5% (retained for Sugar Labs General Funds), divided by the number of mentors for the project. For example, in a year with 6 slots and 10 mentors at $500, the total revenue is $3,000; 10% for Conservancy is $300 and 5% for Sugar Labs is $150, leaving a total of $2,550 or $255 per mentor.

Sugar Labs/Legal/Code of Conduct

2017-09-28T12:17:36Z

Laura Vargas: Undo revision 100886 by Laura Vargas (talk)

<noinclude>
[[Category:Policy]]
{{Graduate | Hi Priority}}
</noinclude>
To be effective, the members of the Sugar Labs community must to work together; our code of conduct lays down the "ground rules" for our cooperative efforts.

The Sugar Labs community supports the educators and software developers who use and develop the Sugar Learning Platform. Sugar is a place for children to explore, learn, teach, and reflect. Sugar Labs is a place where we all can explore, learn, teach, and reflect. The same underlying principles that make Sugar great—discovery, collaboration, and reflection—are central to the way the Sugar community operates.

We chose the name Sugar Labs, plural, because we are more than one lab, one person, or one idea. Plurality captures the spirit of sharing, cooperation, and criticism that is at the heart of the free software/open-source movement. We collaborate freely on a volunteer basis to build software for everyone's benefit. We improve on the work of others, which we have been given freely, and then share our improvements on the same basis.

That collaboration depends on good relationships between developers (and end-users). We have agreed upon the following Code of Conduct as a guide to our collaboration and cooperation.

This Code of Conduct covers your behavior as a member of the Sugar Labs community, in any forum, mailing list, wiki, web site, IRC channel, code-sprint, public meeting, or private correspondence. The Oversight Board will arbitrate in any dispute over the conduct of a member of the community.

== Be considerate ==
Your work will be used by other people, and you in turn will depend on the work of others. Any decision you take will affect users and colleagues, and we expect you to take those consequences into account when making decisions. For example, when we are in a feature freeze, please don't upload dramatically new versions of critical system software, as other people will be testing the frozen system and not be expecting big changes.

== Be respectful ==
The Sugar Labs community and its members treat one another with respect. Everyone can make a valuable contribution to Sugar. We may not always agree, but disagreement is no excuse for poor behavior and poor manners. We might all experience some frustration now and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into a personal attack. It's important to remember that a community where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one. We expect members of the Sugar community to be respectful when dealing with other contributors as well as with people outside the Sugar project, and with users of Sugar.

== Be collaborative ==
Sugar Labs and Free Software are about collaboration and working together. Collaboration reduces redundancy of work done in the Free Software world, and improves the quality of the software produced. You should aim to collaborate with other Sugar contributors, as well as with the entire Sugar ecosystem that is interested in the work you do. Your work should be done transparently and patches from Sugar should be given back to the community when they are made, not just when the distribution releases. If you wish to work on new code for existing upstream projects, at least keep those projects informed of your ideas and progress. It may not be possible to get consensus from upstream or even from your colleagues about the correct implementation of an idea, so don't feel obliged to have that agreement before you begin, but at least keep the outside world informed of your work, and publish your work in a way that allows outsiders to test, discuss and contribute to your efforts.

== Be flexible ==
The Sugar Labs community and its members come from various backgrounds and cultures. It is important to remember that Sugar Labs is a place for educators and developers; parents, teachers, and children; and speakers of many languages to work together. Try to find the appropriate forum for your topic, level or expertises, or language. If you come across a post that is in an incorrect forum, please respectfully redirect the poster to the appropriate. However, a project such as Sugar Labs requires communication between groups and languages.

== When you disagree, consult others ==
The Sugar community is not immune to disagreements—both political and technical. We do not try to avoid disagreements or differing views, but we do try to resolve them constructively. Turn to the community and to community processes to seek advice and to mediate and resolve disagreements. Community resources include an Oversight Board which will help to decide the right course for Sugar Labs, project teams and team leaders who may be able to help you, and an ombudsman who will investigate complaints and, where possible, resolve them by making recommendations to the community. We welcome you to fork the Sugar code base if you are determined to go your own way; enabling the community to test your ideas and possibly merge them back into the mainstream.

== When you are unsure, ask for help ==
Nobody knows everything, and nobody is expected to be perfect in the Sugar community. Asking questions avoids many problems down the road, and so questions are encouraged. Those who are asked should be responsive and helpful. However, when asking a question, care must be taken to do so in an appropriate forum.

== Step down considerately ==
Developers on every project come and go and Sugar Labs is no different. When you leave or disengage from the project, in whole or in part, we ask that you do so in a way that minimizes disruption to the project. This means you should tell people you are leaving and take the proper steps to ensure that others can pick up where you leave off.

== Mailing lists and web forums ==
This code of conduct applies very much to your behavior in mailing lists and web forums.

#Please watch your language. The Sugar community is a family-friendly place.
#Please use a valid email address to which direct responses can be made.
#Please avoid flamewars, trolling, personal attacks, and repetitive arguments.

Sugar Labs/Legal/Code of Conduct

Laura Vargas: Undo revision 100180 by Laura Vargas (talk)

<noinclude>
[[Category:Policy]]
{{Graduate | Hi Priority}}
</noinclude>
To be effective, the members of the Sugar Labs community must work together; our code of conduct lays down the "ground rules" for our cooperative efforts.

The Sugar Labs community supports the users, educators and software developers who use and develop the Sugar Learning Platform. Sugar is a learning environment for children to explore, learn, teach, and reflect. Sugar Labs is a community's project where we all can explore, learn, teach, and reflect. The same underlying principles that make Sugar great—discovery, collaboration, and reflection—are central to the way the Sugar community operates.

We chose the name Sugar Labs, plural, because we are more than one lab, one person, or one idea. Plurality captures the spirit of sharing, cooperation, and criticism that is at the heart of the free software/open-source movement. We collaborate freely on a volunteer basis to build software for everyone's benefit. We improve on the work of others, which we have been given freely, and then share our improvements on the same basis.

That collaboration depends on good relationships between developers (and end-users). We have agreed upon the following Code of Conduct as a guide to our collaboration and cooperation.

This Code of Conduct covers your behavior as a member of the Sugar Labs community, in any forum, mailing list, wiki, web site, IRC channel, code-sprint, public meeting, or private correspondence. The Oversight Board will arbitrate in any dispute over the conduct of a member of the community.

== Be considerate ==
Your work will be used by other people, and you in turn will depend on the work of others. Any decision you take will affect users and colleagues, and we expect you to take those consequences into account when making decisions. For example, when we are in a feature freeze, please don't upload dramatically new versions of critical system software, as other people will be testing the frozen system and not be expecting big changes.

== Be respectful ==
The Sugar Labs community and its members treat one another with respect. Everyone can make a valuable contribution to Sugar. We may not always agree, but disagreement is no excuse for poor behavior and poor manners. We might all experience some frustration now and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into a personal attack. It's important to remember that a community where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one. We expect members of the Sugar community to be respectful when dealing with other contributors as well as with people outside the Sugar project, and with users of Sugar.

== Be collaborative ==
Sugar Labs and Free Software are about collaboration and working together. Collaboration reduces redundancy of work done in the Free Software world, and improves the quality of the software produced. You should aim to collaborate with other Sugar contributors, as well as with the entire Sugar ecosystem that is interested in the work you do. Your work should be done transparently and patches from Sugar should be given back to the community when they are made, not just when the distribution releases. If you wish to work on new code for existing upstream projects, at least keep those projects informed of your ideas and progress. It may not be possible to get consensus from upstream or even from your colleagues about the correct implementation of an idea, so don't feel obliged to have that agreement before you begin, but at least keep the outside world informed of your work, and publish your work in a way that allows outsiders to test, discuss and contribute to your efforts.

== Be flexible ==
The Sugar Labs community and its members come from various backgrounds and cultures. It is important to remember that Sugar Labs is a place for educators and developers; parents, teachers, and children; and speakers of many languages to work together. Try to find the appropriate forum for your topic, level or expertises, or language. If you come across a post that is in an incorrect forum, please respectfully redirect the poster to the appropriate. However, a project such as Sugar Labs requires communication between groups and languages.

== When you disagree, consult others ==
The Sugar community is not immune to disagreements—both political and technical. We do not try to avoid disagreements or differing views, but we do try to resolve them constructively. Turn to the community and to community processes to seek advice and to mediate and resolve disagreements. Community resources include an Oversight Board which will help to decide the right course for Sugar Labs, project teams and team leaders who may be able to help you, and an ombudsman who will investigate complaints and, where possible, resolve them by making recommendations to the community. We welcome you to fork the Sugar code base if you are determined to go your own way; enabling the community to test your ideas and possibly merge them back into the mainstream.

== When you are unsure, ask for help ==
Nobody knows everything, and nobody is expected to be perfect in the Sugar community. Asking questions avoids many problems down the road, and so questions are encouraged. Those who are asked should be responsive and helpful. However, when asking a question, care must be taken to do so in an appropriate forum.

== Step down considerately ==
Developers on every project come and go and Sugar Labs is no different. When you leave or disengage from the project, in whole or in part, we ask that you do so in a way that minimizes disruption to the project. This means you should tell people you are leaving and take the proper steps to ensure that others can pick up where you leave off.

== Mailing lists and web forums ==
This code of conduct applies very much to your behavior in mailing lists and web forums.

#Please watch your language. The Sugar community is a family-friendly place.
#Please use a valid email address to which direct responses can be made.
#Please avoid flamewars, trolling, personal attacks, and repetitive arguments.

Laura Vargas: Added response

Maybe I am not understanding your intentions, but ut is not clear why you are introducing additional hurdles above and beyond the existing ones. We already abide by the SFC travel policies. Why have the oversight board also review receipts? This had been one domain where the SFC had been willing to work directly with community members. Why would we impose the oversight board between the traveler and the SFC? --[[User:Walter|Walter]] ([[User talk:Walter|talk]]) 16:52, 22 September 2017 (EDT)

:: I limited to paste the Approvals chapter of the new Travel Policy and exchange the word PLC for SLOBs. Here the original Approval chapter:

"Travelers traveling on behalf of a Project must seek approvals and submit expense reports to their PLC. PLCs are to review those expense reports and pass them along to Conservancy’s accounting office for final approval and reimbursement.

Travelers traveling on behalf of Conservancy must seek approvals from Conservancy’s Executive Director, and submit expense reports to Conservancy’s accounting office for reimbursement." [[User:Laura Vargas|Laura Vargas]] ([[User talk:Laura Vargas|talk]]) 18:11, 26 September 2017 (EDT)

==="Request for Travel Policy exemptions"===

>Action 1: Any Sugar Labs member/contributor can request a "Travel Policy exemption" by sending a formal request to slobs AT lists.sugarlabs.org detailing the reason for exemption, the amount of the request, the date needed and any other relevant information. Requesting party understands SFC has the final approval for his/her exemption request and must make sure to ask with enough anticipation of the need of any Travel Policy exemption.

>Action 2: Sugar Labs Oversight Board members manage project funds, and according to available balance on Sugar Labs Accounts at the date of the request, they must try to reach consensus in the form of majority of votes to approve or disapprove the request. Once the request gets approved or disapproved the decision shall be documented on [[Oversight Board/Decisions]].

>Action 3: In case of an approved decision, Sugar Labs representative or his/her delegate (e.g. Sugar Labs Financial Manager) will communicate to SFC the decision and make in Sugar Labs behalf the correspondent "Travel Policy exemption request" and follow up the result with the Conservancy sharing the results with the Sugar Labs Oversight Board and the requesting party.

The meeting is targeted to Sugar core and activity developers, but remains open to anyone interested. Its primary purpose is to open the design approach, making it more transparent and allowing the community to provide feedback on both current and upcoming features. Please add to the agenda below, join in with your ideas, or add them to the [[Talk:Design_Team/Meetings|Discussion page]]. See [[IRC]] for information on getting there.

In general, discussion focuses on:
* high level design goals and ideas
* feedback and discussion of problems in the current design
* reviews of design proposals

Hint: You can use an [http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html online time calculator] to convert from UTC to your local time zone or back.

====Agenda====
We discussed design goals for the next release 0.86. Design mockups will be created in response to the high-level features listed below (potentially in advance of SugarCamp 2009 on May 16th), to further illustrate the design intent and allow for integration with the development schedule.

High-level feature recap:
* polish activity list in Home
* support filtering/searching via tags in Home
* add list views to groups/neighorhood
* make groups dynamic (like neighborhood)
* extend activity chat
* add overlay chat to groups/neighborhood
* design a bulletin-board _activity_
* remove management from activity list, ensure _all_ installed activities are in Journal
* new toolbar design

Concrete design/development tasks:
# design mockups to make the frame more discoverable
# design mockups to polish the new toolbars
# Home list view: remove the date column and enable alphabetical sort. Label versions "Version x"
# Design mockups for tagging/filtering/search within Home view
# Draft changes to activity.info file to support tagging
# Design mockups for overlay chat in groups/neighborhood (should also include revising the activity chat..which exists but not as earlier designs proposed)
# Design mockups of bulletin board activity
# Design mockups for list views in groups and neighborhood

====Agenda====
We'd like to hold a meeting this week while the topics discussed at the recent SugarCamp are fresh in our minds. Though this is not part of the usual meeting cycle, I think it's important enough to merit an extra meeting. Due to Thanksgiving on Thursday, we'll hold it on Wednesday instead.

===== Short Term Roadmap Definition =====

To capitalize on the extremely valuable discussions at the recent SugarCamp in Cambridge, we'd like to take some time to define a rough feature roadmap for the Sugar OS within the OLPC 9.1 timeframe. As a starting point for this discussion, we should likely review the various design proposals presented on the last day of the conference.

* Groups
* Resuming activities from Home
* Enhancing the Journal
* Improving Toolbars
* Encouraging Naming/Tagging

=== September 18th 2008 ===
====Agenda====
===== Visual Clipboard API =====
For reference, please see the [[olpc:Specifications/Clipboard| clipboard specification]]. For a more targeted list of features and goals, please see the [[Design Team/Specifications/Clipboard|clipboard planning page]].

We had a fairly long discussion about this, which didn't seem to get too far. Fortunately, a follow-up between Marco and I clarified some points, and we agreed that it should be possible to implement the majority of the goals across the system using the "formats" allowed in the GTK protocols, and falling back to sane defaults when extra info isn't provided.

Some references:
* http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2tutorial/ch-NewInPyGTK2.2.html#sec-Clipboards
* http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2tutorial/ch-DragAndDrop.html
* http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2tutorial/ch-ManagingSelections.html

===== Advancing the Journal =====
I'd like to have a conversation regarding the current iteration of the Journal, future plans, and the steps we hope to take toward them in the next major release so we can scope our goals. The latest mockups (though slightly out of date) can be seen [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Designs/Journal here].

Due to the lengthy clipboard discussion, we didn't hit this topic today. We'll pick it up first thing next week.

===== Icon reviews =====
We discussed three icons today.

'''Settings (control panel)''': By popular demand, a wrench was chosen as the base for this icon, though it was also proposed that a wrench and screwdriver could be clearer. It was agreed that the wrench is a simpler icon, and a more generic metaphor which could be used to represent "settings" throughout the system. A few visual tweaks {{Trac|8198|}} made many happier with the wrench, but since this isn't a major change they can come post 8.2.

'''View Details (Journal)''': The old designs for this button closely resembled a play button (but with an open triangle, akin to a greater than (>) symbol), which some found confusing. The new proposal is an ellipsis [...] icon, to indicate the idea that more info is available, but omitted in the abbreviated list view. This works nicely within the [wiki.laptop.org/go/Designs/Journal new Journal designs], since the icons will occasionally appear within a string of icon-annotated text. All present agreed the latter was a better direction. This change could make 8.2.

'''Access Point''': Recent experience reports have indicated that the removal of an identifier of the connected AP is frustrating. The proposal discussed is shown [http://interdimensionmedia.com/scratch/devices.png], which wraps the former AP icon (the circle) in "parenthesis" (meant to indicate radio signal). This retains the primitive circular shape of the current access points, but illustrates which is connected in a way which alludes to the wireless activity LED. The point was discussed that the other LED is actually more semantically correct, but not as suitable as an icon.

Additionally, these [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Image:School_server_and_ap.png alternate designs] were proposed, using antennae to make the purpose of the icons clearer. We may wish to elicit feedback about these alternatives from teachers and kids to see which convey the notion of wireless connectivity the best. The triangle proposed here was used once, and subsequently removed due to some distaste for the shape in this context, but it may still convey the idea better with the antenna. This change is strongly desired for 8.2.

Oversight Board/Decisions

2017-09-20T18:13:35Z

Laura Vargas: /* 2017-06-20 */ correction the motion is AGREED

This page (largely complete) is intended to be a one-stop place for reviewing all of the Sugar Labs oversight board (SLOB) actions and decisions.

The date headlines are the date a motion is agreed, disagreed, or - in the case of motions to be voted on via email within 7 days of posting which did not get voted on - failed by timing out.

We welcome non-member proposals at the time of a meeting; but they require both a proposer and seconder from among the members of the board. Several proposals that were not taken as motions are shown here struck out, as in <s>MEMBER MOTION</s>.

==2017-09-20==
;AGREED MOTION 2017-17 Proposed by Walter Bender, seconded by Sameer Verma
Motion: Approve a travel advance for US $2550 (US $2000 SFC prepurchase of an airline ticket and $550 towards local transport) for Samson Goddy's travel to the Google Summer of Code mentor's summit.
 5 in favor, 1 recuse, 1 vote yet to be counted [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/iaep/2017-September/020184.html]

;FAILED MOTION 2017-16 Proposed by Laura Vargas, not seconded
Motion: To appoint Sugar Labs Oversight Board member Laura Vargas as Sugar Labs Financial Manager with a monthly stipend of US$ 200 in accordance with AGREED MOTION 2017-13.

==2017-09-15==
;AGREED MOTION 2017-16 Proposed by Walter Bender, seconded by Samson Goddy
Motion: To answer the questions posed by the SFC regarding the xo-computer icon as follows:
:(Q1) Why is the XO logo included in the sugar-artwork repo now -- and does the SLOBs want to keep it there?
:(A1) The xo-computer icon has been part of Sugar since we first designed and built Sugar (beginning in 2006) and we would like to keep it there until such time as the design team decides there is a reason to change it.
:(Q2) Assuming the SLOBs want to keep the XO logo in sugar-artwork: what outcome would the SLOBs *prefer* to see happen? E.g.,
:- Does Sugar want downstream users to be able to redistribute and modify Sugar's codebase with or without the XO trademark file included in the program?
:- Does the SLOBs want downstream users to be able to modify and redistribute the XO trademark image itself, or is that less important to Sugar?
:(A2) Sugar Artwork, including the xo-computer icon, is currently licensed under the GPL and we would like our downstream users to be able to use all of our artwork under the terms of that license. As far as the use of any trademark image outside of the context of Sugar, we have no opinion.

;FAILED MOTION 2017-12 Proposed by Walter Bender, seconded by Samson Goddy: Motion: Samson Goddy has been selected as a Sugar Labs representative to the Google Summer of Code mentor summit. He has requested a travel advance to cover the costs of his visa application. The advance, including wire fees comes to $US 627.05. This motion is to approve the travel advance. (As additional background, Google will be covering up to $2200 in travel expenses for two representatives to attend the summit. Since our other representative is local to the SF area, the bulk of that money would be available to cover Samson's travel, so the net impact on SL funds will be negligible.

;AGREED MOTION 2016-42B (formerly 2016-42) Walter Bender, posting motion initially drafted by Caryl Bigenho (member) and Tony Anderson (SLOB) and Adam Holt (SLOB): The Sugar Labs Oversight Board shall appoint a Finance Manager by majority vote from among the members of Sugar Labs Oversight Board. The Finance Manager serves at the will of the board. The Finance Manager may be paid a stipend at the discretion of the board. Duties of the Finance Manager will be to: 1. Serve as Sugar Lab's central coordinator on all financial matters. 2. Report quarterly at a scheduled Oversight Board meeting the following: Confirmation of the accuracy of the previous quarter's report according to the Software Freedom Conservancy; Balance at the beginning of the quarter preceding the meeting; Expenses during the quarter; Income received during the quarter; Balance at the end of the quarter. 3. The Finance Manager has discretion to approve petty cash amounts up to $200 to pay for miscellaneous expenditures critical for the functioning of Sugar Labs. If approved and everything is in order, these will often be paid within (about) 30 days of when they are submitted to the Software Freedom Conservancy, who control Sugar Labs' banking. If not approved, the applicant is free to ask for a vote at a future Oversight Board meeting. 4. All motions for funding of larger projects will be presented first to the Finance Manager who will review them to be sure the funds are being used in a way that appears fiscally sound. If everything is in order, the Finance Manager will place the motion on the agenda for consideration at the next possible Oversight Board meeting, and circulate on the IAEP mailing list for public discussion. 5. At the meeting, after a finance motion has been moved and seconded, discussion should be confined to the motion. (5 votes for, 2 against) (Full motion with sample financial report available at http://www.mail-archive.com/iaep@lists.sugarlabs.org/msg17107.html)

The donation requested will be $12 USD from members who self-identify as low-income (such as students); $36 USD from general members; $120 from members who can opt-in to be placed prominently on the website; and $600 from members who can (privately if they wish) submit a release codename, subject to SLOB approval. (4 votes for, 1 against, 2 abstain) (note that the "low income" solicitation did not reach consensus during the meeting and Dave Crossland offered to work with the board to ensure the solicitation will meet their approval before it is sent to members.)

;AGREED MOTION 2016-34 Walter Bender, posting motion initially drafted by Dave Crossland: Whereas it is the general policy of Sugar Labs to retain all GSoC mentoring stipends in the General Fund, if a mentor asks a GSoC Admin (for example in 2016, Walter or Lionel) to pay a stipend to a mentor, their share of the stipend amount will be disbursed without further motions to approve the spending. The share is calculated from the total awarded for the GSoC slot by Google, minus 10% (as all Sugar Labs income is donated to Software Freedom Conservancy for organisational services), minus 5% (retained for Sugar Labs General Funds), divided by the number of mentors for the project. For example, in a year with 6 slots and 10 mentors at $500, the total revenue is $3,000; 10% for Conservancy is $300 and 5% for Sugar Labs is $150, leaving a total of $2,550 or $255 per mentor.

;AGREED MOTION 2010-04: to a [[Trademark]] policy.

== 2010-03-05 ==
;AGREED MOTION 2010-03: (1) Bundles with non-Sugar dependencies be clearly marked in ASLO; (2) We work towards a mechanism for supporting access to non-Sugar dependencies--a specific endorsement of being open; and (3) We do not restrict ASLO while we progress towards #2.

== 2010-02-26 ==
;AGREED MOTION 2010-02: to authorize Bernie to spec out a machine around $2000, send details to systems@ for review, decide exactly where it will be hosted, then buy it.

== 2010-01-22 ==
;AGREED MOTION 2010-01: to authorize Luke Faraone to ship some used hardware from the Wikipedia Foundation (12 servers) to various hosting sites. The cost should not exceed US$300.

== 2009-12-18 ==
;AGREED MOTION 2009-18: Sugar Labs encourages all GNU/Linux distributions to package and distribute Sugar, and if possible will assist with hosting and infrastructure. SL Marketing may strategically decide to focus resources towards specific distributions in the interest of promoting Sugar more effectively.
;AGREED MOTION 2009-17: Yes, "Sugar on a Stick" should be reserved by Sugar Labs for use by the SoaS-Fedora distribution so that Sugar can be marketed effectively, until such time when a trademark policy, agreement, and process is put in place: SoaS will be the first project to go through that process.

== 2009-12-11 ==
;AGREED MOTION 2009-16: to adopt http://opensource.org/docs/osd as a set of guidelines for what is permitted on ASLO, for both software and content, and http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing#Good_Licenses's opinions on specific licenses where applicable, and always asking the SFC for advice when a particular license is under question.
;AGREED MOTION 2009-15: SL is and should be a GNU/Linux distributor.
;AGREED MOTION 2009-14: SL wishes to spread the use of Sugar and consequently works with GNU/Linux distros to produce and offer downloadable versions. This work can include helping to promote distros, and hosting them.
;AGREED MOTION 2009-13: SL should not be completely neutral about promoting distros, but it should only choose to more strongly promote a distro based on technical merit and maintainer activity, and should publish the criteria it uses for making that decision. Furthermore, SL should be neutral about providing infrastructure resources (hosting, etc) to distros."

== 2009-12-04 ==
;AGREED MOTION 2009-12: when a DP fails to meet a deadline, the decision passes to SLOBs.

== 2009-11-20 ==
;AGREED MOTION 2009-11: Close the slobs@ list to just SLOBs, move current slobs@ traffic to iaep@ with a [SLOBS] subject line tag where at all possible.
;AGREED MOTION 2009-10: Give a two-week deadline to the Soas DP

== 2009-09-25 ==
;AGREED MOTION 2009-09: We appointed a decision panel (by a vote of 3 for, 0 against, 1 abstain, 3 absent) with the following mandate:
:"Investigate the situation of how SoaS should be treated by Sugar Labs, and related questions, including answers to the following:
:"Should Sugar Labs be a GNU/Linux distributor, rather than just an upstream producing Sugar releases?"
:"Should SL be neutral about distributions containing Sugar, and refuse to endorse one over another?"
:"Should 'Sugar on a Stick' be a phrase that SL asks its community to avoid using unless they refer to the SoaS-Fedora distribution?"
:Any other question the Decision Panel deems required to provide an answer to the original question:"Is the current SoaS going to be the primary way Sugar Labs distributes a Sugar-centric GNU/Linux distribution?"

== 2008-09-05 ==
;AGREED MOTION 2009-08: The Oversight Board acknowledged and celebrated the great job Simon has been doing on managing the 0.82 release.

== 2009-07-18 ==
;AGREED MOTION 2009-07: There was consensus that we have made sufficient outreach to the community that the initial list is a fair representation of Sugar Labs; we look forward to having the Membership Committee take it from http://selectricity.org/
;AGREED MOTION 2009-06: There was consensus that Walter would put together a strawman election process based upon the Selectricity tool. We are targeting an August election.
;AGREED MOTION 2009-05: There was consensus that we begin with just Oversight and Members committees.
;AGREED MOTION 2009-04: We agreed for the need to solicit more feedback in the wiki for the design direction being proposed by Luca.
;AGREED MOTION 2009-03: We agreed that further discussions with the SFLA about the merits of trademark protection is needed.
;AGREED MOTION 2009-02: We agreed on the desirability of Sugar Labs participation at conferences around the world, but hope to meet the need by utilizing locals to whatever extent possible. We also discussed the desirability to have a meeting of Sugar Labs developers a couple of times per year. We discussed the possibility of an on-line meeting that leverages resources above and beyond IRC.
;AGREED MOTION 2009-01: on the necessity of Sugar Labs participation in the learning community, but don't yet have a good handle on the best and most efficient means of accomplishing this.

__NOTOC__
<div style="font-size: 1.0em; background: #daffd5; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #cde7a8" align=left>The Design team will be holding regular bi-weekly meetings on Mondays at 15:00 UTC on irc.freenode.net (channel: #sugar-meeting). The meeting is targeted to Sugar core and activity developers, but remains open to anyone interested. Its primary purpose is to open the design approach, making it more transparent and allowing the community to provide feedback on both current and upcoming features. Please add to the agenda below, join in with your ideas, or add them to the [[Talk:Design_Team/Meetings|Discussion page]]. See [[IRC]] for information on getting there.

In general, discussion focuses on:
* high level design goals and ideas
* feedback and discussion of problems in the current design
* reviews of design proposals

Hint: You can use an [http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html online time calculator] to convert from UTC to your local time zone or back.

To convert UTC to your local time, use [http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?hour=11&min=30&sec=0&p1=0&p2=43 this converter] or run:
:{{Code|date -d '[current date] [time] UTC'}}
:{{Code|date -d '2008-06-03 14:00 UTC'}}

Please post discussion materials for the full community. [[Design Team/Proposals]] and [[Features]] are 2 good places for referencing design ideas.

====Agenda====
We discussed design goals for the next release 0.86. Design mockups will be created in response to the high-level features listed below (potentially in advance of SugarCamp 2009 on May 16th), to further illustrate the design intent and allow for integration with the development schedule.

High-level feature recap:
* polish activity list in Home
* support filtering/searching via tags in Home
* add list views to groups/neighorhood
* make groups dynamic (like neighborhood)
* extend activity chat
* add overlay chat to groups/neighborhood
* design a bulletin-board _activity_
* remove management from activity list, ensure _all_ installed activities are in Journal
* new toolbar design

Concrete design/development tasks:
# design mockups to make the frame more discoverable
# design mockups to polish the new toolbars
# Home list view: remove the date column and enable alphabetical sort. Label versions "Version x"
# Design mockups for tagging/filtering/search within Home view
# Draft changes to activity.info file to support tagging
# Design mockups for overlay chat in groups/neighborhood (should also include revising the activity chat..which exists but not as earlier designs proposed)
# Design mockups of bulletin board activity
# Design mockups for list views in groups and neighborhood

====Agenda====
We'd like to hold a meeting this week while the topics discussed at the recent SugarCamp are fresh in our minds. Though this is not part of the usual meeting cycle, I think it's important enough to merit an extra meeting. Due to Thanksgiving on Thursday, we'll hold it on Wednesday instead.

===== Short Term Roadmap Definition =====

To capitalize on the extremely valuable discussions at the recent SugarCamp in Cambridge, we'd like to take some time to define a rough feature roadmap for the Sugar OS within the OLPC 9.1 timeframe. As a starting point for this discussion, we should likely review the various design proposals presented on the last day of the conference.

* Groups
* Resuming activities from Home
* Enhancing the Journal
* Improving Toolbars
* Encouraging Naming/Tagging

==== Logs ====

=== September 18th 2008 ===
====Agenda====
===== Visual Clipboard API =====
For reference, please see the [[olpc:Specifications/Clipboard| clipboard specification]]. For a more targeted list of features and goals, please see the [[Design Team/Specifications/Clipboard|clipboard planning page]].

We had a fairly long discussion about this, which didn't seem to get too far. Fortunately, a follow-up between Marco and I clarified some points, and we agreed that it should be possible to implement the majority of the goals across the system using the "formats" allowed in the GTK protocols, and falling back to sane defaults when extra info isn't provided.

Some references:
* http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2tutorial/ch-NewInPyGTK2.2.html#sec-Clipboards
* http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2tutorial/ch-DragAndDrop.html
* http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2tutorial/ch-ManagingSelections.html

===== Advancing the Journal =====
I'd like to have a conversation regarding the current iteration of the Journal, future plans, and the steps we hope to take toward them in the next major release so we can scope our goals. The latest mockups (though slightly out of date) can be seen [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Designs/Journal here].

Due to the lengthy clipboard discussion, we didn't hit this topic today. We'll pick it up first thing next week.

===== Icon reviews =====
We discussed three icons today.

'''Settings (control panel)''': By popular demand, a wrench was chosen as the base for this icon, though it was also proposed that a wrench and screwdriver could be clearer. It was agreed that the wrench is a simpler icon, and a more generic metaphor which could be used to represent "settings" throughout the system. A few visual tweaks {{Trac|8198|}} made many happier with the wrench, but since this isn't a major change they can come post 8.2.

'''View Details (Journal)''': The old designs for this button closely resembled a play button (but with an open triangle, akin to a greater than (>) symbol), which some found confusing. The new proposal is an ellipsis [...] icon, to indicate the idea that more info is available, but omitted in the abbreviated list view. This works nicely within the [wiki.laptop.org/go/Designs/Journal new Journal designs], since the icons will occasionally appear within a string of icon-annotated text. All present agreed the latter was a better direction. This change could make 8.2.

'''Access Point''': Recent experience reports have indicated that the removal of an identifier of the connected AP is frustrating. The proposal discussed is shown [http://interdimensionmedia.com/scratch/devices.png], which wraps the former AP icon (the circle) in "parenthesis" (meant to indicate radio signal). This retains the primitive circular shape of the current access points, but illustrates which is connected in a way which alludes to the wireless activity LED. The point was discussed that the other LED is actually more semantically correct, but not as suitable as an icon.

Additionally, these [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Image:School_server_and_ap.png alternate designs] were proposed, using antennae to make the purpose of the icons clearer. We may wish to elicit feedback about these alternatives from teachers and kids to see which convey the notion of wireless connectivity the best. The triangle proposed here was used once, and subsequently removed due to some distaste for the shape in this context, but it may still convey the idea better with the antenna. This change is strongly desired for 8.2.

Among other terms, please note the Project Management, Communications and Activities terms in the agreement provide that:

2.1. The Oversight Board Will Manage the Project.

2.2. The Project Will Be Free Software.

6. Representation of the Project in Conservancy: The Representative will have the authority to instruct Conservancy on the Project’s behalf on all matters.

The terms contemplate that the Oversight Board elects a single individual to communicate with Conservancy (the “Representative”) and shall notify Conservancy promptly following the election of a new Representative.

By publishing your candidacy below, you imply that in case you are elected a Sugar Labs Oversight board member you will honor the agreement terms.

=Devin Ulibarri=
Devin Ulibarri is a musician and an educator who became interested in free/libre software in 2014 during research for the Center for Music-in-Education (Boston). Devin pursued research into the implications for "software libre in education" which led him to believe that free/libre software is best for teaching and learning. He was soon introduced to SugarLabs, which both empowers teachers/learners with software freedom as well as offers tools to exercise those freedoms in a community setting.

Since his introduction to the SugarLabs community, Devin has participated heavily in the development of Music Blocks, a programming language for music. Within the SugarLabs community, Devin offers conceptual recommendations, design ideas, mockups, testing, minor patches, and community involvement on GitHub and Sugar's IRC. In his local community, Devin has represented Music Blocks software as a workshop lecturer (Constructionism Conference in Thailand, Canopy of Somerville) as well as a class instructor (YMCA Malden).

As an oversight board member, Devin would bring his insight as an experienced classroom teacher, an artist, and a free/libre software advocate. Devin has been described as "a very patient person", which he hopes would be a contribution to the oversight board if elected.

=Walter Bender=
After a decade of working on Sugar, I am reflecting on how we engage learners. We provide programming environments (e.g., Turtle and Music Blocks) and mechanism for debugging, collaboration, expression, and reflection. Our adherence to the principles of Free/Libre Software provides scaffolding for personal expression through programming and for surfacing personal responsibility, a sense of community, and unbounded expectations of Sugar users turned Sugar developers.

Where have we fallen short? Edtech is become big business: selling Apps and content is more lucrative and facile than the hard work of engaging teacher and learners in authentic problem-solving. There is a strong temptation to make things as simple as possible so as to reach the broadest possible audience. But some things are inherently complex. Apps might be fun, but the hard part of “hard fun” is in reaching towards complexity.

We are going where the learners are: Sugar as a Web app, on Android, or on iOS, (Sugarizer) and, tracking the growth of the Maker Movement, we now support Sugar on Raspbian.
“It is said that the best way to learn something is to teach it—and perhaps writing a teaching program is better still in its insistence on forcing one to consider all possible misunderstandings and mistakes.” — Seymour Papert

I have made mistakes, but as part of a learning community we will do better.

“Homework is boring. Looking for bugs is fun.” —Ezequiel Pereira

Let's continue to provide the basis for some fun.

=Sebastian Silva=

The mission of the Sugar Labs Oversight Board is to ensure the community has clarity of purpose and the means to attain its goals.

Sugar Labs needs to recognize that our community is '''diverse'''. Therefore, there are diverse purposes that may be clear and at the same time opposed.

We should provide a '''safe and neutral space''' for dialogue on the technology and education that underlies our projects. We need to approve and enforce a ''code of conduct''.

Finally, the reason for Sugar Labs to exist under the SFC is to '''facilitate the flow of resources''' to volunteers with valuable projects. We should strive to open and fund open calls with funds for development, infrastructure and end user products.

=== About Sebastian ===
Sebastian is father to two precious children that are being homeschooled in collaboration with his dear wife and co-creator Laura Vargas.

As a child, Sebastian learned to program with Logo and soon outgrew it to be charmed with Python and raise the flag of Free/Libre Software. He loves writing Sugar Activities; His latest is a collaborative [http://educa.juegos/#sugarlabs_platform_2017 Python IDE] that he hopes you'll love too.

Currently he lives with his family in a cabin in the Amazon rainforest and teaches Karate and videogame programming to the kids in the vicinity, sustaining a lifestyle seeking harmony with nature and providing services of software artisanship and systems gardening remotely.

=Lionel Laské=
Learn more about my background [[User:Llaske|here]].

Like lot of you I've joined SugarLabs at the beginning of the OLPC project. As cofounder of [http://olpc-france.org OLPC France grassroot], I've worked hard to deploy it on the field and contribute to expand it both in term of activities and in term of French content.
Because the OLPC project and the XO laptop was declining year after year, I've decided 5 years ago to launch the [http://sugarizer.org Sugarizer] initiative. My objective was to write a new page of Sugar history by expanding its compatibility to any device, specifically the favorite education device of today: tablets. I'm very proud that today, two deployments already start to use Sugarizer on Android tablets.

Deployed on more than 2 millions of devices and supported by millions of users, Sugar is the #1 learning platform in the world. But we need to convince this large community that a future exist out of the XO laptop. It's my ambition as candidate to the SugarLabs Oversight Board. As I've done in past month as SLOB member, I will support projects where the goal is to expand the community and give a vision to SugarLabs. Even if it could hurt sometime, I will also refuse to spend our limited resources on ways that not fit into its vision. We're all volunteers and our time is precious, let's continue to invest it where it will be the most useful: give to learners the better free libre education platform.

=Sameer Verma=
My background [[User:Sverma|here]].

=== Introduction===

I am a professor in the Information Systems department at San Francisco State University, in San Francisco, California USA. I also serve on the Board of Directors of the Drupal Association, which gives me significant insights into how large FOSS projects work both in the community and the enterprise. I am the founder of the OLPC San Francisco volunteer community, that continues to be active around OLPC's original mission and projects that have grown from that ecosystem, including Sugar, XS, XOVis and others.

=== Experience ===

My experience with Sugar projects are based on a three-pronged approach:

:''Education''

:Understanding constructivist, constructionist, instructional and ad-hoc learning models. I look for accommodating for the gap between what may be prescribed, and what can actually be implemented in the field.

:''Technology''

:Hardware, software, and network combinations that make these projects work in the “middle of nowhere” communities. My professional training comes in handy when working on these technology bits.

:''Social Context''

:Understanding social context is the most important of the three approaches. Providing powerful life-changing educational tools to communities is not enough unless we also understand their cultural and social underpinnings.

=== Expected Contribution ===

To maintain Sugar's technology focus as a medium of delivery, while maintaining the education message. I hope to bring my skills and expertise to contribute to the strategic direction of Sugar the project, and its implementations on any device, anywhere.

=Sean Daly=

I am an independent journalist, formerly working for a large company in IT, communications, advertising and marketing. As my children are (mostly) grown, and I set my own work schedule, I will have time to commit to Sugar again. I have been part of Sugar Labs since 2009, including a term as a SLOB, and was Marketing Coordinator for 5 years.

The major changes in "educational technology" - from computer lab, to netbook, to tablet - mean that beyond the XO platform, Sugar must adapt and indeed is doing so, through Sugarizer and other initiatives. At the same time, the rapid growth of social media has created new opportunities to communicate about Sugar, opportunities which are not being seized today.

As a SLOB, I will work to grow our community and to raise awareness of Sugar.

=Adam Holt=

As its 10-year anniversary quickly approaches, Sugar Labs needs to do more than survive as a fragile vessel for One Laptop per Child's many still unmet dreams.

Sugar Labs can now begin standing up conscientiously in new areas, building on real-world deliverables like Sugarizer 0.9 on Internet-in-a-Box (a.k.a. the OLPC School Server Community Edition, http://schoolserver.org) now in use in a very rapidly growing number of countries where the XO laptop never quite took root:

https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/15x/speakers/adam-holt 
https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/15x/presentations/internet-box

Google Summer of Code (GSoC) and Google Code-in (GCI) are an amazingly powerful start to bring us together constructing collaboratively + openly + coherently -- but these are not the only revenue/volunteer streams Sugar Labs and the Sugar Movement can bank on during its second decade!

All such strategic progress is beginning to take shape for an entirely new generation of DIY Sugar culture. But it is thanks to an underlying non-chaotic legal and accounting strategy with the Software Freedom Conservancy that all this is possible.

I have worked for 10 years with Sugar Labs (originally as OLPC's Community Support Manager) and then as Sugar Labs' liaison/representative to the Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC) for 2 years now to solidify a foundation here.

= Claudia Urrea =
I have more 20 years of experience in the field of Education and Technology. I am currently working at the MIT Jameel World Education Lab (J-WEL) as the Associate Director PreK-12. I have helped multiple governments and non-government agencies to empower and support schools and communities of learners to evolve from traditional teaching methods into progressive learning environments.

I have a degree in Computer Science/Systems Engineering, a Master's degree in Educational Media and Technology from Boston University, and a doctorate degree from the MIT Media Laboratory. During my PhD thesis, I studied the implications of one to one learning in a rural setting in Latin America, which provided the knowledge and experience that I brought to the Interamerican Development Bank as a consultant in the Education Sector, and later, during 5 years I spent with One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) as Director of Learning. My interests include computational thinking and open-free software, personalized and digital learning and assessment, curriculum design, education for developing countries, teacher professional development, educational programming and robotics, maker education, quality learning at scale, among others.

During the last year at OLPC, I joined the Sugar Labs board, which allowed to develop a number of programs, resources and events in collaboration with Walter Bender and other members of the community. My current position at MIT and my knowledge of both Sugar Labs and the international educational community would allow me to bring new opportunities for Sugar Labs. I have witness the powerful opportunities SugarLabs and the work of the community have brought to a great number of children and young adults from many countries in the world. I would like to work hard to try to bring those to many more.

As its 10-year anniversary quickly approaches, Sugar Labs needs to do more than survive as a fragile vessel for One Laptop per Child's many still unmet dreams.

Sugar Labs can now begin standing up conscientiously in new areas, building on real-world deliverables like Sugarizer 0.9 on Internet-in-a-Box (a.k.a. the OLPC School Server Community Edition, http://schoolserver.org) now in use in a very rapidly growing number of countries where the XO laptop never quite took root:

https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/15x/presentations/internet-box

Google Summer of Code (GSoC) and Google Code-in (GCI) are an amazingly powerful start to bring us together constructing collaboratively + openly + coherently -- but these are not the only revenue/volunteer streams Sugar Labs and the Sugar Movement can bank on during its second decade!

All such strategic progress is beginning to take shape for an entirely new generation of DIY Sugar culture. But it is thanks to an underlying non-chaotic legal and accounting strategy with the Software Freedom Conservancy that all this is possible.

I have worked for 10 years with Sugar Labs (originally as OLPC's Community Support Manager) and then as Sugar Labs' liaison/representative to the Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC) for 2 years now to solidify a foundation here.

== Claudia Urrea ==
I have more 20 years of experience in the field of Education and Technology. I am currently working at the MIT Jameel World Education Lab (J-WEL) as the Associate Director PreK-12. I have helped multiple governments and non-government agencies to empower and support schools and communities of learners to evolve from traditional teaching methods into progressive learning environments.

I have a degree in Computer Science/Systems Engineering, a Master's degree in Educational Media and Technology from Boston University, and a doctorate degree from the MIT Media Laboratory. During my PhD thesis, I studied the implications of one to one learning in a rural setting in Latin America, which provided the knowledge and experience that I brought to the Interamerican Development Bank as a consultant in the Education Sector, and later, during 5 years I spent with One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) as Director of Learning. My interests include computational thinking and open-free software, personalized and digital learning and assessment, curriculum design, education for developing countries, teacher professional development, educational programming and robotics, maker education, quality learning at scale, among others.

During the last year at OLPC, I joined the Sugar Labs board, which allowed to develop a number of programs, resources and events in collaboration with Walter Bender and other members of the community. My current position at MIT and my knowledge of both Sugar Labs and the international educational community would allow me to bring new opportunities for Sugar Labs. I have witness the powerful opportunities SugarLabs and the work of the community have brought to a great number of children and young adults from many countries in the world. I would like to work hard to try to bring those to many more.

=Devin Ulibarri=
Devin Ulibarri is a musician and an educator who became interested in free/libre software in 2014 during research for the Center for Music-in-Education (Boston). Devin pursued research into the implications for "software libre in education" which led him to believe that free/libre software is best for teaching and learning. He was soon introduced to SugarLabs, which both empowers teachers/learners with software freedom as well as offers tools to exercise those freedoms in a community setting.

Since his introduction to the SugarLabs community, Devin has participated heavily in the development of Music Blocks, a programming language for music. Within the SugarLabs community, Devin offers conceptual recommendations, design ideas, mockups, testing, minor patches, and community involvement on GitHub and Sugar's IRC. In his local community, Devin has represented Music Blocks software as a workshop lecturer (Constructionism Conference in Thailand, Canopy of Somerville) as well as a class instructor (YMCA Malden).

As an oversight board member, Devin would bring his insight as an experienced classroom teacher, an artist, and a free/libre software advocate. Devin has been described as "a very patient person", which he hopes would be a contribution to the oversight board if elected.

=Walter Bender=
After a decade of working on Sugar, I am reflecting on how we engage learners. We provide programming environments (e.g., Turtle and Music Blocks) and mechanism for debugging, collaboration, expression, and reflection. Our adherence to the principles of Free/Libre Software provides scaffolding for personal expression through programming and for surfacing personal responsibility, a sense of community, and unbounded expectations of Sugar users turned Sugar developers.

Where have we fallen short? Edtech is become big business: selling Apps and content is more lucrative and facile than the hard work of engaging teacher and learners in authentic problem-solving. There is a strong temptation to make things as simple as possible so as to reach the broadest possible audience. But some things are inherently complex. Apps might be fun, but the hard part of “hard fun” is in reaching towards complexity.

We are going where the learners are: Sugar as a Web app, on Android, or on iOS, (Sugarizer) and, tracking the growth of the Maker Movement, we now support Sugar on Raspbian.
“It is said that the best way to learn something is to teach it—and perhaps writing a teaching program is better still in its insistence on forcing one to consider all possible misunderstandings and mistakes.” — Seymour Papert

I have made mistakes, but as part of a learning community we will do better.

“Homework is boring. Looking for bugs is fun.” —Ezequiel Pereira

Let's continue to provide the basis for some fun.

=Sebastian Silva=

The mission of the Sugar Labs Oversight Board is to ensure the community has clarity of purpose and the means to attain its goals.

Sugar Labs needs to recognize that our community is '''diverse'''. Therefore, there are diverse purposes that may be clear and at the same time opposed.

We should provide a '''safe and neutral space''' for dialogue on the technology and education that underlies our projects. We need to approve and enforce a ''code of conduct''.

Finally, the reason for Sugar Labs to exist under the SFC is to '''facilitate the flow of resources''' to volunteers with valuable projects. We should strive to open and fund open calls with funds for development, infrastructure and end user products.

=== About Sebastian ===
Sebastian is father to two precious children that are being homeschooled in collaboration with his dear wife and co-creator Laura Vargas.

As a child, Sebastian learned to program with Logo and soon outgrew it to be charmed with Python and raise the flag of Free/Libre Software. He loves writing Sugar Activities; His latest is a collaborative [http://educa.juegos/#sugarlabs_platform_2017 Python IDE] that he hopes you'll love too.

Currently he lives with his family in a cabin in the Amazon rainforest and teaches Karate and videogame programming to the kids in the vicinity, sustaining a lifestyle seeking harmony with nature and providing services of software artisanship and systems gardening remotely.

=Lionel Laské=
Learn more about my background [[User:Llaske|here]].

Like lot of you I've joined SugarLabs at the beginning of the OLPC project. As cofounder of [http://olpc-france.org OLPC France grassroot], I've worked hard to deploy it on the field and contribute to expand it both in term of activities and in term of French content.
Because the OLPC project and the XO laptop was declining year after year, I've decided 5 years ago to launch the [http://sugarizer.org Sugarizer] initiative. My objective was to write a new page of Sugar history by expanding its compatibility to any device, specifically the favorite education device of today: tablets. I'm very proud that today, two deployments already start to use Sugarizer on Android tablets.

Deployed on more than 2 millions of devices and supported by millions of users, Sugar is the #1 learning platform in the world. But we need to convince this large community that a future exist out of the XO laptop. It's my ambition as candidate to the SugarLabs Oversight Board. As I've done in past month as SLOB member, I will support projects where the goal is to expand the community and give a vision to SugarLabs. Even if it could hurt sometime, I will also refuse to spend our limited resources on ways that not fit into its vision. We're all volunteers and our time is precious, let's continue to invest it where it will be the most useful: give to learners the better free libre education platform.

=Sameer Verma=
My background [[User:Sverma|here]].

=== Introduction===

I am a professor in the Information Systems department at San Francisco State University, in San Francisco, California USA. I also serve on the Board of Directors of the Drupal Association, which gives me significant insights into how large FOSS projects work both in the community and the enterprise. I am the founder of the OLPC San Francisco volunteer community, that continues to be active around OLPC's original mission and projects that have grown from that ecosystem, including Sugar, XS, XOVis and others.

=== Experience ===

My experience with Sugar projects are based on a three-pronged approach:

:''Education''

:Understanding constructivist, constructionist, instructional and ad-hoc learning models. I look for accommodating for the gap between what may be prescribed, and what can actually be implemented in the field.

:''Technology''

:Hardware, software, and network combinations that make these projects work in the “middle of nowhere” communities. My professional training comes in handy when working on these technology bits.

:''Social Context''

:Understanding social context is the most important of the three approaches. Providing powerful life-changing educational tools to communities is not enough unless we also understand their cultural and social underpinnings.

=== Expected Contribution ===

To maintain Sugar's technology focus as a medium of delivery, while maintaining the education message. I hope to bring my skills and expertise to contribute to the strategic direction of Sugar the project, and its implementations on any device, anywhere.

=Sean Daly=

I am an independent journalist, formerly working for a large company in IT, communications, advertising and marketing. As my children are (mostly) grown, and I set my own work schedule, I will have time to commit to Sugar again. I have been part of Sugar Labs since 2009, including a term as a SLOB, and was Marketing Coordinator for 5 years.

The major changes in "educational technology" - from computer lab, to netbook, to tablet - mean that beyond the XO platform, Sugar must adapt and indeed is doing so, through Sugarizer and other initiatives. At the same time, the rapid growth of social media has created new opportunities to communicate about Sugar, opportunities which are not being seized today.

As a SLOB, I will work to grow our community and to raise awareness of Sugar.

When emotions inevitably take hold on legal and financial issues, it is imperative that we also have a steady hand, to work with SFC Executive Director Karen Sandler and her team moving us all forward methodically. I will continue this difficult but very necessary work if re-elected -- strengthening our participatory community architecture, operationalizing an evermore legit and balanced footing -- inclusive of Sugar Labs' contributors, educators and hackers all.

Let's now step forward together, Sugar's diverse but sincere community, to build upon this base for an entirely new decade of Rapidly Internationalizing Opportunities Now.

Report quarterly at a scheduled Oversight Board meeting the following: Confirmation of the accuracy of the previous quarter's report according to the Software Freedom Conservancy; Balance at the beginning of the quarter preceding the meeting; Expenses during the quarter; Income received during the quarter; Balance at the end of the quarter. 3. The Finance Manager has discretion to approve petty cash amounts up to $200 to pay for miscellaneous expenditures critical for the functioning of Sugar Labs. If approved and everything is in order, these will often be paid within (about) 30 days of when they are submitted to the Software Freedom Conservancy, who control Sugar Labs' banking. If not approved, the applicant is free to ask for a vote at a future Oversight Board meeting. 4. All motions for funding of larger projects will be presented first to the Finance Manager who will review them to be sure the funds are being used in a way that appears fiscally sound. If everything is in order, the Finance Manager will place the motion on the agenda for consideration at the next possible Oversight Board meeting, and circulate on the IAEP mailing list for public discussion. 5.

;AGREED MOTION 2016-34 Walter Bender, posting motion initially drafted by Dave Crossland: Whereas it is the general policy of Sugar Labs to retain all GSoC mentoring stipends in the General Fund, if a mentor asks a GSoC Admin (for example in 2016, Walter or Lionel) to pay a stipend to a mentor, their share of the stipend amount will be disbursed without further motions to approve the spending. The share is calculated from the total awarded for the GSoC slot by Google, minus 10% (as all Sugar Labs income is donated to Software Freedom Conservancy for organisational services), minus 5% (retained for Sugar Labs General Funds), divided by the number of mentors for the project. For example, in a year with 6 slots and 10 mentors at $500, the total revenue is $3,000; 10% for Conservancy is $300 and 5% for Sugar Labs is $150, leaving a total of $2,550 or $255 per mentor.

Laura Vargas: added references and reply on the 1500 character's limit nonconformity

I suppose the (seemingly arbitrary) limit of 1500 characters has forced me to be focused. You can look at the change log to see my 3000 character statement. --[[User:Walter|Walter]] ([[User talk:Walter|talk]]) 16:13, 31 August 2017 (EDT)

The 1500 character's limit is strategic to increase readability of all candidates statements. It was properly presented as the requirement for valid candidacies to current Oversight Board during [http://meeting.sugarlabs.org/sugar-meeting/2017-08-04 August meeting]. [[User:Laura Vargas|Laura Vargas]] ([[User talk:Laura Vargas|talk]]) 20:01, 31 August 2017 (EDT)

:Seems you have passed my answer on the previous paragraph. Again, please read to remember this procedure was approved during SLOB's August meeting.

::On the contrary, I have read the minutes in the link you provided and no where do I see a discussion about restricting statements to 1500 characters. Also, nowhere to I see documentation of the members committee discussion of this decision. I stand by my opinion that it is arbitrary and unnecessary. I also reiterate my decision to defer to the committee (although it would be comforting to see the discussion thread backing up your assertion.) --[[User:Walter|Walter]] ([[User talk:Walter|talk]]) 08:04, 13 September 2017 (EDT)

:: Walter, backing up my assertion please read Line at 19:08 "Candidates should create a wiki entry below (1 entry per candidate, 1.500 characters max) sharing their vision and motivation." Not arbitrary but consented. Anyhow, you have been the only candidate complaining so I guess the limit was logic for everyone else. [[User:Laura Vargas|Laura Vargas]] ([[User talk:Laura Vargas|talk]]) 08:10, 13 September 2017 (EDT)

::I am not sure how I missed the line at 19:08. Nonetheless, this reads as a report from the members committee, not an oversight board decision. Where is the members committee meeting log? I still see no justification ("logic") behind the limit explained and stand by my right to disagree with the decision. I am a bit taken back by your characterizing my disagreeing as complaining. I thought we were a community that welcomed discussion and criticism of the status quo. And I will say yet again, although I disagree with the decision (and the means by which it has been enforced), I defer to the committee. My statement is <= 1500 characters. I am not sure what more you want from me Laura. --[[User:Walter|Walter]] ([[User talk:Walter|talk]]) 08:32, 13 September 2017 (EDT)

:: Again, the decision was taken by the Membership and Elections Committee and ratified during the SLOB's meeting. We try to keep the Systems list copied on all meetings in case you want to explore how we have taken all decisions about the elections. I guess your criticism is OK but inaccuracy and is not.

I strongly suggest candidates to optimize space given and avoid irrelevant information such as quoting other people's thoughts different from those thoughts of the candidate him/her self. Instead I suggest candidates to focus on a simple message to share your motivation, vision and/or management skills that make you an ideal candidate for the Sugar Labs Oversight Board.

Laura Vargas: Add response

I suppose the (seemingly arbitrary) limit of 1500 characters has forced me to be focused. You can look at the change log to see my 3000 character statement. --[[User:Walter|Walter]] ([[User talk:Walter|talk]]) 16:13, 31 August 2017 (EDT)

The 1500 character's limit is strategic to increase readability of all candidates statements. It was properly presented as the requirement for valid candidacies to current Oversight Board during [http://meeting.sugarlabs.org/sugar-meeting/2017-08-04 August meeting].

::On the contrary, I have read the minutes in the link you provided and no where do I see a discussion about restricting statements to 1500 characters. Also, nowhere to I see documentation of the members committee discussion of this decision. I stand by my opinion that it is arbitrary and unnecessary. I also reiterate my decision to defer to the committee (although it would be comforting to see the discussion thread backing up your assertion.) --[[User:Walter|Walter]] ([[User talk:Walter|talk]]) 08:04, 13 September 2017 (EDT)

:: Walter, backing up my assertion please read Line at 19:08 "Candidates should create a wiki entry below (1 entry per candidate, 1.500 characters max) sharing their vision and motivation." Not arbitrary but consented. Anyhow, you have been the only candidate complaining so I guess the limit was logic for everyone else.

Procedure Notes:

01. All Membership and Elections Committee members have write access to the Sugar Labs member's list.

02. The Sugar Labs member's list is kept both on the sugarlabs-vote mailing list (with emails) and on the Sugar Labs wiki page (with out emails). Additionally, all Sugar Labs Oversight Board members have a copy of the file containing member's names and emails.

03. The sugarlabs-vote mailing list has the purpose of serving the Membership and Elections Committee to maintain the Sugar Labs member's list and therefore list configuration should be kept as follows:
Sugarlabs-vote Mailing list Configuration

List's administrator: members AT sugarlabs
Subscription Require approval - require list administrator approval for subscriptions
Emergency moderation of all list traffic.ON [currently this is not a list for communication]
private_roster (privacy): Set [list of subscribers is protected by member or admin password authentication]
obscure_addresses (privacy):Set [member email addresses to be transformed when they are presented on list web pages (both in text and as links), so they're not trivially recognizable as email addresses. The intention is to prevent the addresses from being snarfed up by automated web scanners for use by spammers.]

This procedure was suggested by Dave Crossland and with the configuration set, it fits our requirements for all Committee members to have write access to the Sugar Labs member's list.

Oversight Board/Decisions

2017-09-08T12:37:25Z

Laura Vargas: /* 2017-08-13 */ Added references

This page (largely complete) is intended to be a one-stop place for reviewing all of the Sugar Labs oversight board (SLOB) actions and decisions.

The date headlines are the date a motion is agreed, disagreed, or - in the case of motions to be voted on via email within 7 days of posting which did not get voted on - failed by timing out.

We welcome non-member proposals at the time of a meeting; but they require both a proposer and seconder from among the members of the board. Several proposals that were not taken as motions are shown here struck out, as in <s>MEMBER MOTION</s>.

==2017-09-05==
;AGREED MOTION 2017-14 Proposed by Samson Goddy, seconded by Walter Bender.
Motion: To add three contributors into the membership/election committee: Pericherla Seetaramaraju (Google Summer of Code Intern), Hirshi Patel (Contributor and Google Summer of Code Mentor) and Ibiam Chihurumnaya (Member of Sugar Labs).

(5 in favor. 2 opposed) [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/iaep/2017-September/020033.html]

;AGREED MOTION 2017-13 Proposed by Laura Vargas, seconded by Samson Goddy. Motion: Sugar Labs Financial Manager will have a monthly stipend of US$ TBD in exchange for: 1 complete financial report per quarter and it's publication on the Sugar Labs Finance Wiki page maximum 30 calendar days after the end of the period. The format to be used should be compatible with the International Financial Reporting Standards or it's equivalent in the U.S..

;FAILED MOTION 2017-12 Proposed by Walter Bender, seconded by Samson Goddy: Motion: Samson Goddy has been selected as a Sugar Labs representative to the Google Summer of Code mentor summit. He has requested a travel advance to cover the costs of his visa application. The advance, including wire fees comes to $US 627.05. This motion is to approve the travel advance. (As additional background, Google will be covering up to $2200 in travel expenses for two representatives to attend the summit. Since our other representative is local to the SF area, the bulk of that money would be available to cover Samson's travel, so the net impact on SL funds will be negligible.

;AGREED MOTION 2016-42B (formerly 2016-42) Walter Bender, posting motion initially drafted by Caryl Bigenho (member) and Tony Anderson (SLOB) and Adam Holt (SLOB): The Sugar Labs Oversight Board shall appoint a Finance Manager by majority vote from among the members of Sugar Labs Oversight Board. The Finance Manager serves at the will of the board. The Finance Manager may be paid a stipend at the discretion of the board. Duties of the Finance Manager will be to: 1. Serve as Sugar Lab's central coordinator on all financial matters. 2. Report quarterly at a scheduled Oversight Board meeting the following: Confirmation of the accuracy of the previous quarter's report according to the Software Freedom Conservancy; Balance at the beginning of the quarter preceding the meeting; Expenses during the quarter; Income received during the quarter; Balance at the end of the quarter. 3. The Finance Manager has discretion to approve petty cash amounts up to $200 to pay for miscellaneous expenditures critical for the functioning of Sugar Labs. If approved and everything is in order, these will often be paid within (about) 30 days of when they are submitted to the Software Freedom Conservancy, who control Sugar Labs' banking. If not approved, the applicant is free to ask for a vote at a future Oversight Board meeting. 4. All motions for funding of larger projects will be presented first to the Finance Manager who will review them to be sure the funds are being used in a way that appears fiscally sound. If everything is in order, the Finance Manager will place the motion on the agenda for consideration at the next possible Oversight Board meeting, and circulate on the IAEP mailing list for public discussion. 5. At the meeting, after a finance motion has been moved and seconded, discussion should be confined to the motion.

;AGREED MOTION 2016-41 Walter Bender, posting motion initially drafted by Dave Crossland: To request a membership donation from each currently active Sugar Labs Member to be allocated to the General Fund for the calendar year of 2016, and a public statement about how they use Sugar and why they are involved in Sugar Labs to post on the website; there is no penalty for not paying a membership or not providing a statement; by default members who donate will be kept private, and requested to opt-in to be recognised. The donation requested will be $12 USD from members who self-identify as low-income (such as students); $36 USD from general members; $120 from members who can opt-in to be placed prominently on the website; and $600 from members who can (privately if they wish) submit a release codename, subject to SLOB approval.

(not seconded)
;AGREED MOTION 2016-34 Walter Bender, posting motion initially drafted by Dave Crossland: Whereas it is the general policy of Sugar Labs to retain all GSoC mentoring stipends in the General Fund, if a mentor asks a GSoC Admin (for example in 2016, Walter or Lionel) to pay a stipend to a mentor, their share of the stipend amount will be disbursed without further motions to approve the spending. The share is calculated from the total awarded for the GSoC slot by Google, minus 10% (as all Sugar Labs income is donated to Software Freedom Conservancy for organisational services), minus 5% (retained for Sugar Labs General Funds), divided by the number of mentors for the project. For example, in a year with 6 slots and 10 mentors at $500, the total revenue is $3,000; 10% for Conservancy is $300 and 5% for Sugar Labs is $150, leaving a total of $2,550 or $255 per mentor.

Laura Vargas: /* 2017-05-05 */ Added meeting link for reference

This page (largely complete) is intended to be a one-stop place for reviewing all of the Sugar Labs oversight board (SLOB) actions and decisions.

The date headlines are the date a motion is agreed, disagreed, or - in the case of motions to be voted on via email within 7 days of posting which did not get voted on - failed by timing out.

We welcome non-member proposals at the time of a meeting; but they require both a proposer and seconder from among the members of the board. Several proposals that were not taken as motions are shown here struck out, as in <s>MEMBER MOTION</s>.

;FAILED MOTION 2017-12 Proposed by Walter Bender, seconded by Samson Goddy: Motion: Samson Goddy has been selected as a Sugar Labs representative to the Google Summer of Code mentor summit. He has requested a travel advance to cover the costs of his visa application. The advance, including wire fees comes to $US 627.05. This motion is to approve the travel advance. (As additional background, Google will be covering up to $2200 in travel expenses for two representatives to attend the summit. Since our other representative is local to the SF area, the bulk of that money would be available to cover Samson's travel, so the net impact on SL funds will be negligible.

;AGREED MOTION 2016-42B (formerly 2016-42) Walter Bender, posting motion initially drafted by Caryl Bigenho (member) and Tony Anderson (SLOB) and Adam Holt (SLOB): The Sugar Labs Oversight Board shall appoint a Finance Manager by majority vote from among the members of Sugar Labs Oversight Board. The Finance Manager serves at the will of the board. The Finance Manager may be paid a stipend at the discretion of the board. Duties of the Finance Manager will be to: 1. Serve as Sugar Lab's central coordinator on all financial matters. 2. Report quarterly at a scheduled Oversight Board meeting the following: Confirmation of the accuracy of the previous quarter's report according to the Software Freedom Conservancy; Balance at the beginning of the quarter preceding the meeting; Expenses during the quarter; Income received during the quarter; Balance at the end of the quarter. 3. The Finance Manager has discretion to approve petty cash amounts up to $200 to pay for miscellaneous expenditures critical for the functioning of Sugar Labs. If approved and everything is in order, these will often be paid within (about) 30 days of when they are submitted to the Software Freedom Conservancy, who control Sugar Labs' banking. If not approved, the applicant is free to ask for a vote at a future Oversight Board meeting. 4. All motions for funding of larger projects will be presented first to the Finance Manager who will review them to be sure the funds are being used in a way that appears fiscally sound. If everything is in order, the Finance Manager will place the motion on the agenda for consideration at the next possible Oversight Board meeting, and circulate on the IAEP mailing list for public discussion. 5. At the meeting, after a finance motion has been moved and seconded, discussion should be confined to the motion.

;AGREED MOTION 2016-34 Walter Bender, posting motion initially drafted by Dave Crossland: Whereas it is the general policy of Sugar Labs to retain all GSoC mentoring stipends in the General Fund, if a mentor asks a GSoC Admin (for example in 2016, Walter or Lionel) to pay a stipend to a mentor, their share of the stipend amount will be disbursed without further motions to approve the spending. The share is calculated from the total awarded for the GSoC slot by Google, minus 10% (as all Sugar Labs income is donated to Software Freedom Conservancy for organisational services), minus 5% (retained for Sugar Labs General Funds), divided by the number of mentors for the project. For example, in a year with 6 slots and 10 mentors at $500, the total revenue is $3,000; 10% for Conservancy is $300 and 5% for Sugar Labs is $150, leaving a total of $2,550 or $255 per mentor.

>Action 2: Sugar Labs Oversight Board members manage project funds, and according to available balance on Sugar Labs Accounts at the date of the request, they must try to reach consensus in the form of majority of votes to approve or disapprove the request. Once the request gets approved or disapproved the decision shall be documented on https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Oversight_Board/Decisions.

>Action 3: In case of an approved decision, Sugar Labs representative or his/her delegate (e.g. Sugar Labs Financial Manager) will communicate to SFC the decision and make in Sugar Labs behalf the correspondent Cash Advance - Travel Policy exemption request and follow up the result with the Conservancy sharing the results with the Sugar Labs Oversight Board and the requesting party.
