<p>Quozl: </p> <hr /> <div>== Old - Pippy Design Idea 2011-03-10 ==<br /> <br /> === Usage ===<br /> A learner will:<br /> *review and run an included example module, observing code and behaviour, &lt;font color=&quot;#008000&quot;&gt;(exists)&lt;/font&gt;,<br /> *modify an included example module, and run the modified version, observing changed behaviour, &lt;font color=&quot;#008000&quot;&gt;(exists)&lt;/font&gt;,<br /> *write a fresh module, creating new behaviour, &lt;font color=&quot;#008000&quot;&gt;(exists)&lt;/font&gt;,<br /> *write a fresh module that imports an included example module unchanged, deriving behaviour from existing behaviour, &lt;font color=&quot;#c00000&quot;&gt;(new)&lt;/font&gt;,<br /> *write a fresh module that imports a modified example module, &lt;font color=&quot;#c00000&quot;&gt;(new)&lt;/font&gt;,<br /> *write two fresh modules one of which imports the other, &lt;font color=&quot;#c00000&quot;&gt;(new)&lt;/font&gt;,<br /> *derive more complex code using modules created by teachers or other learners, with or without changing the contributed module, &lt;font color=&quot;#c00000&quot;&gt;(new)&lt;/font&gt;.<br /> <br /> A group of learners will do the above, but also:<br /> *collaborate on a set of modules included in the shared activity instance, &lt;font color=&quot;#c00000&quot;&gt;(new)&lt;/font&gt;,<br /> *run modules locally on each laptop, &lt;font color=&quot;#008000&quot;&gt;(exists)&lt;/font&gt;.<br /> <br /> A pair of learners may:<br /> *create one subordinate module each, and concentrate on it, &lt;font color=&quot;#c00000&quot;&gt;(new)&lt;/font&gt;,<br /> *create one master module that imports the two subordinate modules, &lt;font color=&quot;#c00000&quot;&gt;(new)&lt;/font&gt;,<br /> *write unit tests in each subordinate module and run them locally on each laptop, &lt;font color=&quot;#c00000&quot;&gt;(new)&lt;/font&gt;,<br /> *integrate by running the master module, &lt;font color=&quot;#c00000&quot;&gt;(new)&lt;/font&gt;.<br /> <br /> === Purpose ===<br /> *increase code sharing, at a module level,<br /> *increase relevance to Python users,<br /> *increase portability of code written, beyond Pippy and Sugar,<br /> <br /> === Data ===<br /> A running Pippy instance will contain the following data:<br /> *zero or more modules,<br /> **(either pure python modules, packages, or distutils source distributions, though not a sugar bundle),<br /> *each module will include zero, one (pure python modules) or more (packages or distutils source distributions) source files,<br /> *each module will include a source file setup.py capable of creating the python distutils source distribution output, but unless the user has asked to edit the setup.py, it will not be shown, instead a default will be used, created and maintained by Pippy,<br /> <br /> A shared Pippy will contain the same data as above on each laptop.<br /> <br /> === Input ===<br /> Pippy may read from:<br /> *a saved instance of Pippy, in the journal, by activation only,<br /> *a module in the journal, (which may have come from a teacher, another learner, or a server), using the object chooser,<br /> **in pure python module form, as a single source file,<br /> **in distutils source distribution form, as multiple source files inside a tar or zip container, <br /> *pristine example modules included with Pippy, using a button and an example chooser.<br /> <br /> === Output ===<br /> Pippy may write to:<br /> *a saved instance of Pippy, in the journal,<br /> *a pure python module, in the journal,<br /> **represented as a single source file,<br /> *a package module, in the journal,<br /> **represented as a distutils source distribution in tar or zip container.<br /> <br /> === Activation ===<br /> <br /> Pippy may be activated from a journal entry:<br /> *a saved instance of Pippy, which will start the Pippy activity and present the modules and files that were visible at the time the saved instance was created, allowing the learner to resume development,<br /> *a pure python module or package module, which will start the Pippy activity in an execution only mode that behaves in the same way as the &quot;run&quot; button, displaying a VTE (only if stdout is written to, or stdin is read from), and if not exiting immediately, without creating a journal entry.<br /> <br /> === Display - Editing ===<br /> Display will contain:<br /> *toolbar,<br /> *a series of tabs, one for each module, an add module button, and an open example module button,<br /> *within each module, a series of tabs, one for __doc__ that is not editable (only if the module has non-empty __doc__), one for each source file that is editable, and an add file button,<br /> *within each file, a syntax highlighting text edit widget.<br /> <br /> (the series of tabs encapsulated in another series of tabs is potentially difficult for a learner to comprehend, but an alternative tree view is thought inappropriate because of the horizontal space consumed, and because use of a module should be constrained to the public API of the module).<br /> <br /> Activity canvas GTK+ widget hierarchy, assuming two modules open, modules &quot;main&quot; and &quot;test&quot;, of which &quot;main&quot; has a file &quot;file.py&quot;, and &quot;test&quot; has a file &quot;test.py&quot;:<br /> <br /> *gtk.Notebook (tab labels &quot;main&quot;, &quot;test&quot;, &quot;+&quot;)<br /> **notebook page label &quot;main&quot;, a gtk.Notebook (tab labels &quot;__doc__&quot;, &quot;file.py&quot;, &quot;setup.py&quot;, &quot;+&quot;)<br /> ***notebook page label &quot;__doc__&quot;, a GtkSourceView in read-only mode, hidden if __doc__ is empty,<br /> ***notebook page label &quot;file&quot;, a GtkSourceView for &quot;file.py&quot;,<br /> ***notebook page label &quot;setup&quot;, a GtkSourceView for &quot;setup.py&quot;, hidden if not yet edited by learner,<br /> ***notebook page label &quot;+&quot;, creates a new file, prompts for file name, defaults to .py,<br /> **notebook page label &quot;test&quot;, a gtk.Notebook (tab labels &quot;__doc__&quot;, &quot;test.py&quot;, &quot;setup.py&quot;, &quot;+&quot;)<br /> ***notebook page label &quot;__doc__&quot;, a GtkSourceView in read-only mode, hidden if __doc__ is empty,<br /> ***notebook page label &quot;test&quot;, a GtkSourceView for &quot;test.py&quot;,<br /> ***notebook page label &quot;setup&quot;, a GtkSourceView for &quot;setup.py&quot;, hidden if not yet edited by learner,<br /> ***notebook page label &quot;+&quot;, creates a new file, prompts for file name, defaults to .py,<br /> **notebook page label &quot;+&quot;, creates a new module, prompts for module name.<br /> <br /> (if the page &quot;+&quot; technique does not work, then toolbar buttons will be required to create a new module, create a new file in a module, or import an example module).<br /> <br /> === Display - Running ===<br /> When run is pressed, display will contain:<br /> *toolbar,<br /> *stdout stdin vte, (only if stdout is written to, or stdin is read from),<br /> *a stop button.<br /> <br /> Activity canvas GTK+ widget hierarchy:<br /> *gtk.Container<br /> **gtk.VBox<br /> ***gtk.HBox<br /> ****gtk.VScrollbar<br /> ****vte.Terminal<br /> ***gtk.Button Stop<br /> <br /> === Changes ===<br /> Partial list of changes to bring Pippy existing source to a state consistent with the design above:<br /> *remove the examples tree widget from the main screen, provide it only as an &quot;open an example bundle&quot; function, this will permit the GtkSourceView widget to be full screen width,<br /> *remove the output window from the main screen, provide it only when a program is run, and only if the program generates stdout or reads from stdin, this will permit the GtkSourceView widget to be nearly the full height available,<br /> *provide multiple GtkSourceView widgets, once for each file in each module, within gtk.Notebook within gtk.Notebook,<br /> **the outermost tabs will be module names,<br /> **the innermost tabs will be file names within each module,<br /> *on toolbar save button, save all modules and files in a journal entry,<br /> *when a module is selected, provide an export button that creates a sugar journal entry for a distutils source distribution package, for sharing,<br /> *provide a way to import pure python module or distutils source distribution package from journal into the current Pippy instance, using the object chooser, successful import will add to the modules displayed,<br /> *on execution of a module, allow import of all other currently displayed modules, modules included with Pippy (such as the existing pippy module), and system modules,<br /> *convert the examples to either pure python module or package form.<br /> <br /> === Alternative ===<br /> <br /> *create a new activity, or derive from Develop.<br /> <br /> === Existing Situation ===<br /> <br /> Pippy currently provides example ''script''s written in Python, allows the learner to run them, edit them, and save them as a journal entry. Pippy does not currently support creation of modules, or use of modules other than operating system- or Pippy-packaged modules.<br /> <br /> === Definitions ===<br /> <br /> *[http://docs.python.org/tutorial/modules.html Script] ... &quot;Therefore, if you want to write a somewhat longer program, you are better off using a text editor to prepare the input for the interpreter and running it with that file as input instead. This is known as creating a ''script''.&quot;<br /> <br /> *[http://docs.python.org/distutils/introduction.html Module] ... &quot;the basic unit of code reusability in Python: a block of code imported by some other code.

<p>Quozl: </p> <hr /> <div>&lt;noinclude&gt;{{GoogleTrans-en}}{{TOCright}}&lt;/noinclude&gt;<br /> <br /> == Protection ==<br /> <br /> In discussions with a contributor it was found the page was not protected against edits by anyone. Perhaps the oversight board or office bearers should restrict edits. --[[User:Quozl|Quozl]] ([[User talk:Quozl|talk]]) 16:41, 12 August 2024 (EDT)<br /> <br /> == Broken links ==<br /> <br /> This link seems to be broken as of 2024-04-07 (please cross out when fixed): http://meeting.sugarlabs.org/sugar-meeting/meetings<br /> <br /> == Elections proposal ==<br /> <br /> === Election setup ===<br /> <br /> SLOBs is a 7-person body with elections in August. It seems desirable to have approximately half the board's positions reelected each year in order to maintain some continuity of leadership, meaning (with two-year terms) we should be electing 3 or 4 people per year. However, the first round of elections in August 2008 didn't specify which of the elected people would turn over the next year. Walter Bender therefore proposed that all the SLOB positions be re-opened, with the 2009 elections instituting the 3/4 stagger (with either 3 or 4 of the positions being elected for 2 years, and the remainder for 1 year.)<br /> <br /> Simple solution: have two elections (one for 2-year terms, one for 1-year terms), and allow people to run for one or both. Voting for both elections is done simultaneously, but the election results are tallied sequentially - first the 2-year term votes are tallied, and the top 3 candidates chosen to be 2-year SLOBs with terms expiring in 2011. The 3 selected candidates are then withdrawn from the second election (if applicable) and the 1-year term votes are then tallied. The top 4 candidates from that election are chosen as 1-year SLOBs with terms expiring in 2010.<br /> <br /> Note that this system does not (yet) handle ties; proposals welcome. I think it's an unlikely case and am trying to minimize the need for re-voting, since there's evidence that this diminished the number of voters last time. [[User:Mchua|Mchua]] 04:54, 27 July 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> === Who runs the voting ===<br /> <br /> Luke Faraone has proposed that the group [http://www.spi-inc.org/ Software in the Public Interest] (SPI) run the election as a neutral third party, and they seem open to discussing the matter. Are there any other options we should consider?<br /> <br /> === Election tools and voting methods ===<br /> <br /> If SPI is running the election, we should see if there are tools that they prefer, and if those tools are acceptable by SL.<br /> <br /> The first election used [http://selectricity.org Selectricity]. Things to make sure of if we use selectricity again:<br /> * candidate names are randomized on each ballot (to prevent alphabetical bias)<br /> * candidate names on the ballot should be linked to or followed by position statements - or there should be some way to encourage, if not require, voters to either read position statements or talk directly with candidates before voting.<br /> * other thoughts? add to list!<br /> <br /> <br /> === Other notes ===<br /> <br /> It is unclear when and how the Ombudsman, System Administrator, and Treasurer are selected.<br /> <br /> This all assumes sufficient candidates to fill the board as well as sufficient voters for said voters to think the election process fair.</div>

You can select &quot;Install Triquel&quot; in the main boot menu to do so. If you already started a live session, you can manually launch the installer by running &quot;ubiquity&quot; in the terminal activity.<br /> <br /> ==Password==<br /> if you do a restart you will be returned to the gdm login screen:<br /> user=trisquel<br /> password= none; hit [Enter]<br /> <br /> ==Advanced topics==<br /> ===Configure a Sugar-ltsp-server===<br /> :you just have to install sugar on the central server<br /> sudo apt-get install trisquel-sugar<br /> *LINK: https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/configure-ltsp-server<br /> <br /> ===Live CD persistence===<br /> You can achieve user data persistence by loading TOAST from a handy USB drive, but you can also use a regular Live CD for that, and it will work in systems with no USB-boot capabilities. You just need to pass the &quot;persistent&quot; parameter to the Live CD kernel (pressing F4 in the boot menu) and have a ext2 (ext3 and 4 will work too) partition labeled &quot;live-rw&quot; available in any disk. It can be a USB flash drive too.<br /> <br /> Any data in the /home directory will be stored in the live-rw partition; if you need to install a persistent file outside /home, as a config file or a program, or even install some deb packages, you just need to label the partition &quot;casper-rw&quot; instead. For normal Sugar, use &quot;live-rw&quot;.<br /> <br /> This method is useful to save space in the thumb drive for persistence data, and also because the persistence partition can be mounted and accessed from other computers. It can be used to have live persistent sessions in systems that cannot boot from USB, but this will work faster if you use the method described next.<br /> <br /> ===USB load helper===<br /> Some computers -like Apple's- cannot boot an operating system from a thumb drive, and in some cases the computer is not configured to do so and the user doesn't have the privileges or knowledge to do that, and a CD is the only method for booting a system. As USB images run faster and can provide integrated persistence, you might want to use the Live CD to load just the kernel and run the live session from the faster flash drive instead. You just need to create a Live USB drive using the method described above, and boot the computer with both the CD and the USB drive inserted. Set the computer to boot from the CD, and it will load the kernel and search for USB drives to continue booting from them.<br /> <br /> ===Easy virtualized images===<br /> The above methods can also be used in a virtualization application like VirtualBox or KVM. You just need to start a live session using the TOAST iso, format the virtual disk with ext3, label it &quot;live-rw&quot; and reboot. Since then, the virtual disk will store the persistent data. If a new TOAST iso is released, you just need to replace the image attached to your virtualization system.<br /> <br /> ===SD cards support===<br /> Using a USB SD card reader you should be able to use the usb-creator tool to load the live image into a SD card. That will allow you to boot the persistent live system in a XO or netbook, or install TOAST in its hard drive. It should also work with other card formats, as long as the computer is able to boot from them.<br /> <br /> ===Updating===<br /> To get the latest version of the Sugar activities, just open the updater in the user settings window. To update the Trisquel system underneath, open a terminal and run this commands:<br /> <br /> sudo apt-get update<br /> sudo apt-get upgrade<br /> <br /> This procedure will also update the Fructose activities, and it will not interfere with the Sugar updater.<br /> <br /> ===Customizing Trisquel===<br /> See '''http://trisquel.info/en/wiki/customizing-trisquel-iso'''</div>

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.&lt;br&gt;(5 votes for, 2 against)&lt;br&gt;(Full motion with sample financial report available at http://www.mail-archive.com/iaep@lists.sugarlabs.org/msg17107.html) <br /> <br /> <br /> ;AGREED MOTION 2016-42 Walter Bender, posting motion initially drafted by Sameer and Tony: While suggestions for motions can come from anyone in the community, motions should be made by Sugar Labs oversight board members.&lt;br&gt; (7 votes for).<br /> <br /> <br /> ;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.

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.

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.

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.&lt;br&gt;(5 votes for, 2 against)&lt;br&gt;(Full motion with sample financial report available at http://www.mail-archive.com/iaep@lists.sugarlabs.org/msg17107.html) <br /> <br /> <br /> ;AGREED MOTION 2016-42 Walter Bender, posting motion initially drafted by Sameer and Tony: While suggestions for motions can come from anyone in the community, motions should be made by Sugar Labs oversight board members.&lt;br&gt; (7 votes for).<br /> <br /> <br /> ;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.

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.

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.

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.&lt;br&gt;(5 votes for, 2 against)&lt;br&gt;(Full motion with sample financial report available at http://www.mail-archive.com/iaep@lists.sugarlabs.org/msg17107.html) <br /> <br /> <br /> ;AGREED MOTION 2016-42 Walter Bender, posting motion initially drafted by Sameer and Tony: While suggestions for motions can come from anyone in the community, motions should be made by Sugar Labs oversight board members.&lt;br&gt; (7 votes for).<br /> <br /> <br /> ;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.

(not seconded)<br /> ;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.

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.&lt;br&gt;(5 votes for, 2 against)&lt;br&gt;(Full motion with sample financial report available at http://www.mail-archive.com/iaep@lists.sugarlabs.org/msg17107.html) <br /> <br /> <br /> ;AGREED MOTION 2016-42 Walter Bender, posting motion initially drafted by Sameer and Tony: While suggestions for motions can come from anyone in the community, motions should be made by Sugar Labs oversight board members.&lt;br&gt; (7 votes for).<br /> <br /> <br /> ;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.

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.

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.

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.

<p>Quozl: </p> <hr /> <div>&lt;noinclude&gt;[[Category:Policy]]&lt;/noinclude&gt;<br /> == Sugar Labs Membership ==<br /> The Sugar Labs [[Sugar Labs/Members/List|members list]] consists of most of the contributors to the Sugar project. Members can run for election to the [[Oversight Board|Oversight Board]], vote in the elections for the Oversight Board, and suggest [[Sugar Labs/Governance#Sugar Labs Referenda|referenda]].<br /> <br /> Any &quot;significant and sustained&quot; contributor to Sugar Labs is eligible for membership. Although it is difficult to specify a precise definition, a [[Sugar_Labs/Sugar_contributors|contributor]] generally must have contributed to a non-trivial improvement of the Sugar project or Sugar Labs activity. Contributions may be code, documentation, translations, maintenance of project-wide resources, ''running a Sugar deployment'', or other non-trivial activities which benefit Sugar Labs. Membership eligibility is an individual determination: while contributions made in the course of employment will be considered, they will generally be ascribed to the individuals involved, rather than accruing to all employees of a &quot;contributing&quot; corporation.<br /> <br /> Membership applications are overseen by the [[Oversight Board]].<br /> <br /> == Applying for membership ==<br /> All submissions MUST be sent via email to '''members''' at '''sugarlabs.org'''. Submissions sent to other email addresses or sent after the deadline will not be processed for the year's election. Someone on the Oversight Board will reply to your query within 2 business days. If you don't get a reply after a week, please contact committee members individually.<br /> <br /> In your email, please include:<br /> * Your name,<br /> * Your [[IRC]] nickname, Wiki username, or GitHub username,<br /> * A description of your contribution to Sugar Labs, links are preferable.<br /> <br /> == Currency assurance policy ==<br /> <br /> In order to ensure that the Sugar Labs Membership list is reflective of the current status of the project and its participants, once a year members will be asked to confirm that they still wish to be a Sugar Labs Member. If this request bounces, or if a request has not been replied to after it has been a) resent, b) checked for a more current email address, and c) six months have passed, the member will be sent a removal notice with an invitation to reapply.<br /> <br /> The most recent currency review was in June 2017.<br /> <br /> == Members List ==<br /> This is our [[Sugar Labs/Members/List]].<br /> <br /> [[Category:Participate]]</div>
