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
