===Martin Dengler (mtd) ===
Martin is a professional programmer who got an XO to support the OLPC project and have a laptop for daily use. He has been an activity contributor, not just to Sugar, but to project components such as power management, kernel, wireless, and various Sugar activities. A search for mtd in trac gives a good indication of the breadth of his work.
Martin is a professional programmer who got an XO to support the OLPC project and have a laptop for daily use. He has been an active contributor, not just to Sugar, but to project components such as power management, kernel, wireless, and various Sugar activities. He almost declined the nomination for the SugarLabs Oversight Board because it seemed like there were so many other very well-qualified people in the running, but kept himself in in case there seemed a desire for someone who was:
# A G1G1 donor
# A programmer who's had a number of patches to Sugar and other OLPC software packages accepted.
# Successful at making timely, practical decisions about software
# Not affiliated with OLPC or other Boston-area organisations
If elected, he will:
# Work amicably with other board members to
# Realize the promise of Sugar as an educational platform (e.g., among other things, implementing the "view source" key in the Sugar UI and Taxonomy#Fructose Fructose activities
# in a pragmatic but theoretically-motivated manner
If not elected, he will help SugarLabs/the board members to realize those goals anyway.
