==Notes==


===Telling stories===
'''telling awesome stories to demonstrate the possibilities enabled by Sugar'''

* Pentagram's help in designing the interface
* feedback process (once it's actually done)
* Sugar as s ''playground for innovation and experimentation'' (an inspiring comment Tomeu made during Q&A)
* two committees we shuld consider adding:
** propaganda (ChristophD has been suggested for that role)
** outreach
*** university/students liason
*** educators

===TO-DOs===

* '''find logo'''
* '''finding out who owns the rights to "Sugar" and "Sugar Labs"''' => we have to own the Sugar Labs brand and related entities
* '''have an organizational roadmap, not just a software roadmap'''
* set up feedback process
* make sure to follow-up on projects
* clean up wiki
* next release in 6-months should have the biggest holes fixed
* get an extra or two developers working on Sugar for 4 to 6 months
* testing: outsource it to organizations (ChristophD will talk to people at universities in Graz, Austria on September 21/22 so let's see what happens); requires strong leadership (!); Gnome bug-days as an example; push for automated testing
* emphasis on the importance of responding to bug-reports, even though we don't necessarily have to fix them
* understanding how community works -> make it better at Sugar Labs (find quick wins, proof-points)
* GdK: "simplify and amplify"
* responsibilities
* Sugar Labs Ambassadors (?)
* weekly updates to walter, but also try to spread to more publications (e.g. Sugar ported to Beagle board @ linuxdevices.com)
* focus on work planned for next week
* @IAEP: media liason to spread the story
* engage community via IAEP and Sugar to harness people
* IRC: weekly Sugar Labs meeting, infrequent Board meetings for high-level and sensitive issues such as business, hiring, etc., board meetings open to everyone - patches welcome, candidates have to keep motivated; not only board members can run committees but board holds people accountable
* set up Ministry of Propaganda / Outreach / Truth
* IRL meetings: e.g. FUDCon Boston
