The mission of the Sugar Labs Oversight Board is to ensure the community has clarity of purpose and the means to attain its goals.

Line 71:

Sugar Labs needs to recognize that our community is '''diverse'''. Therefore, there are diverse purposes that may be clear and at the same time opposed.

We should provide a '''safe and neutral space''' for dialogue on the technology and education that underlies our projects. We need to approve and enforce a ''code of conduct''.

We should provide a '''safe and neutral space''' for dialogue on the technology and education that underlies our projects. We need to approve and enforce a ''[[Sugar_Labs/Conduct|code of conduct]]''.

Finally, the reason for Sugar Labs to exist under the SFC is to '''facilitate the flow of resources''' to volunteers with valuable projects. We should strive to open and fund open calls with funds for development, infrastructure and end user products.

Line 144:

All such strategic progress is beginning to take shape for an entirely new generation of DIY Sugar culture. But it is thanks to an underlying non-chaotic legal and accounting strategy with the Software Freedom Conservancy that all this is possible.

I have worked for 10 years with Sugar Labs (originally as OLPC's Community Support Manager) and then as Sugar Labs' liaison/representative to the Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC) for 2 years now to solidify a foundation here. When emotions inevitably take hold on legal and financial issues, it is imperative that we also have a steady hand, to work with SFC Executive Director Karen Sandler and her team moving us all forward methodically. I will continue this difficult but very necessary work if re-elected -- strengthening our participatory community architecture, operationalizing an evermore legit and balanced footing -- inclusive of Sugar Labs' contributors, educators and hackers all.

~~Let's now step forward together, Sugar's diverse but sincere community, to build upon this base for an entirely new decade of Rapidly Internationalizing Opportunities Now.~~
