As a volunteer member, I help maintain the Sugar Labs servers and service infrastructure, and I strongly believe the state of the Sugar Labs Oversight Board is very unhealthy.

In mid-2018, I spent a not-insignificant amount of time triaging the unstructured list of proposed goals for 2018, at [[Goals/2018 Submissions|https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Goals/2018_Submissions]], only to have literally ZERO responses once I sent the e-mail below, back in July. Not one member of the Oversight Board responded, positively or negatively.

Much of the work of porting Sugar to Python 3 was done this summer, however it is critical that this work continue so we can be ready for 2020, when Python 2.x is finally officially end-of-lifed.
