I program in python for a living, and got interested in Sugar/XO through OLPC's G1G1 program.

I almost declined the nomination for the SugarLabs Oversight Board because it seemed like there were so many 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 Sugar and other OLPC software 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 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] activities
in a pragmatic but theoretically-motivated manner
