- How to go through the remaining PRs, strategy

Walter is preoccupied with other things, like GSoC proposal reviews.

Plan is to expand the team, sitting down with Om and Devin to identify additional team members who can merge PRs.

Also, a list of "needs action" tests and easy bug fixes for Om Santosh and Walter to review.

If they don't add any value, just say so (politely) in a comment.

- Dependency management (proposed by Jetshree)

Dependencies are currently being managed manually.

- Show us the tutorials (?)
- Temperament if time

Sugar AI

Context Sugar AI is the path to deployment, not for development. You shouldn't feel dependent.

https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-ai/issues/90

We do have some PRs

Proposal questions

Code snippets -- Let's go back to the basics: articulate the problem; show us how you plan to solve the problem; then show us how capable you are of solving the problem.

Advice: Read over your proposal.

Create a tl;dr, a summary at the begin.

DMP and SSoC

https://codeforgoodtech.in/https://codeforgoodtech.in/

We can often get collaborators through DMP and SSoC

Performance drop

Memo-ization

Bug reports

How to introduce the idea that you can contribute to the software you're using.

Regression: Mode and octaves

Historical context: We used to use Gitorious; you can see what it was like here: https://web.archive.org/web/20130725065424/git.sugarlabs.org/desktop/stats

Sugar AI

1. An issue on sugar-ai is to be created on sugar-ai with all the work that needs to be done before deploying sugar.
2. 5-min cold starts when sugarai goes idle(is that all right? Ways to handle it).
3. Setting up a deadline might help to bring things to speed in deploying sugar ai.
4. Sugar meetings havent been happening regularly.
5. Guardrails for various problems specifically for children.
6.(Any other topics by other members)

Discuss Suryaansh topic: Performance -- 1) tracking and 2) finding metrics

			I maintain a "code-first" approach, with 32 pull requests authored and maintained across five different Sugar Labs repositories.

			==== GTK4 Core & Fructose Migration ====

This involved backporting security fixes and Python antipatterns from GTK4, resolving documentation build failures, and correcting mathematical logic errors in core utility modules.

			==== Music Blocks ====
			I have merged 12 PRs and currently maintain 10 active PRs for the Music Blocks project, focusing on rhythm logic and UI responsiveness.

Discussions

CICD Pipelines and security

Assign a code owner files to restrict who can merge into PRs <-- right now, only a select few are able to merge, so this may not be an issue

Use semi-automation to help

GTK projects

Met with Krish; the scope may be too big

AI Guidelines

We have guidelines on Sugar AI

Devin TODO: https://github.com/sugarlabs/musicblocks/issues/5865 and 5866

Constructionism

Aesthetic -- helping a user by creating an environment that they feel comfortable trying things out and asking what they like, which they prefer, do these things compliment each other; if not, perhaps create something that does (for example in the Phrase Maker).

AI Guardrails

Devin's suggestions:
* No image creation
* No profanity -- perhaps add a time penalty if user uses profanity
* Other corner cases -- AI bots getting too friendly**; off-topic; fabricating lies from well-known science/history things without warning

**I've seen kids get the bot to say it was their grandparents or parents, after asked by students. We should probably avoid that.

Ashutosh -- how improved MB
