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 Fructose activities
• in a pragmatic but theoretically-motivated manner
