As a SLOB, I will work to grow our community and to raise awareness of Sugar.

=Adam Holt=

As its 10-year anniversary quickly approaches, Sugar Labs needs to do more than survive as a fragile vessel for One Laptop per Child's many still unmet dreams.

Sugar Labs can now begin standing up conscientiously in new areas, building on real-world deliverables like Sugarizer 0.9 on Internet-in-a-Box (a.k.a. the OLPC School Server Community Edition, http://schoolserver.org) now in use in a very rapidly growing number of countries where the XO laptop never quite took root:

Google Summer of Code (GSoC) and Google Code-in (GCI) are an amazingly powerful start to bring us together constructing collaboratively + openly + coherently -- but these are not the only revenue/volunteer streams Sugar Labs and the Sugar Movement can bank on during its second decade!

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.
