Pre-conference community meetup
- Bernie gives an overview of the current state of Sugar Labs:
- infrastructure (servers, services, etc.) in in place
- mode of governance has been established
- getting away from the old mindset (thinking like a company, asking for permission before doing something)
- show me the code, we will support you but you should do things yourself
- SugarLabs is a community not a company
- more developers are needed
- people should be pointed to join.sugarlabs.org
- a few thousand dollars have been collected via individual donations
- no success in getting grants so far
- Sugar Labs has no employees, should work like the Gnome foundation, people getting paid by companies who want Sugar to suceed
- in the larger context SugarLabs should be responsible for high-levels decisions and setting the framework for activities
- focus on setting up Local Sugar Labs, direct contact to educators and other relevant parties in their respective communities
- Remora as a central hub for activities (downloads, reviews, etc.); should be available in a couple of weeks
- Collaboration:
- (as previously also discussed on the mailing-list) it would be good to have a minimum-level of collaboration in all activities in the form of a view-only mode
- activities should also declare a max. number of collaborators, any additional users who join are automatically connected in a view-only mode
