- Decide that Sugar is "sweet", i.e. valuable for education, interesting etc.
- Understand that Sugar is a Community Project supported by volunteers
- Have an initial engagement with the Community
- Want to help or at least Be There for Sugar
- Become part of a Task/Team/Group or get a Mentor
- Successfully complete a task
- Take more responsibility, leadership, help others etc.
Examples of taking responsibility and leadership include:
