About

The Sugar Labs Oversight Board "shall meet at least once per quarter to discuss various topics pertaining to the regular activities of the Sugar Labs Project and Sugar. (It is expected that more frequent meeting will be required in the early stages of the program.) The minutes to these meetings shall be posted publicly on the Sugar Labs wiki,"

Committee reports will be a regular part of the meetings.

Who

The meeting is mainly targeted to Sugar Oversight Board, but everyone interested is welcome to join. It's primary purpose is to discuss general issues related to Sugar and the Sugar community; however, it is not intended as a replacement for the weekly developer meetings.

How to add topics

The discussion topics for upcoming meetings are listed below. Please contact an oversight-board member if you have additional topics you would like to add. Topics will be collected between meetings, triaged by the meeting chair, and send out in the meeting announcement on ~24 hours before the meeting. A reminder to add topics will be announced in the Sugar Digest. Please consider including the following data when making a request:

1. a link to existing discussion thread(s) on public mailing list;
2. a brief summary of each option or alternative being proposed; and
