Martin Dengler

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

SugarLabs Oversight Board 2008 Candidacy

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
