====SugarLabs Oversight Board 2008 Candidacy====
I almost declined the nomination for the [[Sugar Labs/Governance/Oversight Board|SugarLabs Oversight Board]] because it seemed like there were so many [[Sugar_Labs/Oversight_Board_Candidates_August_2008|other very well-qualified people]] in the running.
I kept myself in in case there seemed a desire for someone who was:
* A G1G1 donor
* A programmer who's had a number of patches to [http://www.ohloh.net/projects/9605/contributors?page=3 Sugar] and [http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=users/cscott/olpc-utils-tmp;a=commitdiff;h=7bd5be68b6ee9522f76aae9e56d43c48f4dc2efa other] [http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=users/cscott/olpc-utils-tmp;a=commitdiff;h=f40047ffb1a2e8ea45a5898307e962a610865838 OLPC] [http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=users/phil/support-scripts;a=commitdiff;h=3ddfa741170b02570c9f24760c45a91839dc86a1 software] [http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=sugar-toolkit;a=commitdiff;h=1403f7d26d53c89457ee6cf3b0535247c7e163e6 packages] accepted.
* Successful at making timely, practical decisions about software
* Not affiliated with OLPC or other Boston-area organisations
If elected, I will:
* Work amicably with other board members to
* Realize [[Sugar Labs/FAQ#What_makes_Sugar_different_from_other_educational_software_platforms.3F|the promise of Sugar as an educational platform]] (e.g., among other things, implementing the "view source" key in the Sugar UI and [[Taxonomy#Fructose Fructose]] activities
* in a pragmatic but theoretically-motivated manner
