=== About Me ===

Hello, my name is Peace Ojemeh, alias Perrie; a ~~volunteer design~~ contributor at SugarLabs.

Hello, my name is Peace Ojemeh, alias Perrie; a long term contributor at SugarLabs through design and OSS programs like GSoC and Code-In. I’ve also previously served on the Sugar Labs’ oversight board from 2020 until 2023.

~~I possess a short but viable history of work & involvement as an open source proponent.~~

~~I’m currently working for & advocating the significance of open source across Africa,~~ through ~~my service at the Open Source Community Africa,~~ and ~~have been actively involved the Google~~ OSS programs in Sugar ~~Labs~~.

Emerging on the board, I ~~hope to~~ initiate & establish~~, a positive impact on the future of SugarLabs, as well as~~ help to significantly improve the state of affairs of the organization, internally & externally.

Emerging on the Sugar Labs Inc. board, I will initiate & establish all I have always wanted to see happen and execute them—-help to significantly improve the state of affairs of the organization, internally & externally.

=== Vision ===

Being ~~around~~ the community since 2017, I have noticed that while Sugar Labs as a community has been thriving, it has also suffered a drastic & tremendous reduction in participation from a lot of contributors. We witness students drawn in from the Google Code-In (GCI) and Google Summer of Code (GSoC) programs, initially express great zeal, but lasts only for a while.

Being involved in the community since 2017, I have noticed that while Sugar Labs as a community has been thriving, it has also suffered a drastic & tremendous reduction in participation from a lot of contributors. We witness students drawn in from the Google Code-In (GCI) and Google Summer of Code (GSoC) programs, initially express great zeal, but lasts only for a while.

To that effect, a great deal of intentional & imperative efforts have to be employed & invested in the organizational structure, to ensure that contributors stay engaged and their enthusiasm to contribute is maintained and adequately sustained.

=== Goals ===

If elected, I commit to:

- Work closely with the marketing and design teams to ensure that we have a well-standing external representation, extensively yet systematically driving what we do in Sugar Labs, outside. Better representation will undoubtedly mean more contributors, who will join to create the magic with us.
