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

====SugarLabs Oversight Board====
+
+
I almost declined the nomination for the [[Sugar Labs/Governance/Oversight Board|SugarLabs Oversight Board]] because it seemed like there were so many [[Sugar_Labs/Oversight_Board_Candidates_August_2008|other very well-qualified people]] in the running.
+
+
I kept myself in in case there seemed a desire for someone who was:
+
+
* A programmer
+
* A G1G1 donor
+
* Comfortable making timely, practical decisions about software
+
* Not an affiliate of OLPC/Boston
+
+
There are many candidates. I have had a number of patches to [[http://www.ohloh.net/projects/9605/contributors?page=3|Sugar]] and [[http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=users/cscott/olpc-utils-tmp;a=commitdiff;h=7bd5be68b6ee9522f76aae9e56d43c48f4dc2efa|other]] [[http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=users/cscott/olpc-utils-tmp;a=commitdiff;h=f40047ffb1a2e8ea45a5898307e962a610865838|OLPC]] [[http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=users/phil/support-scripts;a=commitdiff;h=3ddfa741170b02570c9f24760c45a91839dc86a1|software]] [[http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=sugar-toolkit;a=commitdiff;h=1403f7d26d53c89457ee6cf3b0535247c7e163e6|packages]] accepted.
