Line 1: − ==Walter Bender==+ − I was at OLPC for several years and now I am a volunteer on the project. My home page can be found here: [http://www.media.mit.edu/~walter] − − Email: walter AT sugarlabs DOT org − − ===Regarding the Sugar Labs Oversight Board=== − − While it has been my goal to help get Sugar Labs to a point of self-sustainability, I don't think we are yet at that point. My goals for 2010 are to focus on fund-raising and further refining the organizational and governance models. − − A bit about me and my role in Sugar Labs: I was part of the Sugar team at One Laptop per Child that left to found Sugar Labs in March of 2008. I have worn a few different hats within the organization: activity developer, occasional contributor to Sugar core, member of the deployment team, the marketing team, and the activity team. I was a lead author of the FLOSS Manual on Sugar. I am presently the executive director of Sugar Labs. I also represent Sugar on the GNOME technical advisory board and the Squeakland board. I have been a GSOC mentor and am participating in several pilot deployment projects of Sugar on a Stick. − − ===To do=== − * <strike>get Frame test set up in Peru/Uruguay/Paraguay</srike> − * <strike>New Activity templates − :Much of the information that is consistent across activities can be held in activities.s.o.
