About

The Sugar Labs Oversight Board "shall meet at least once per quarter to discuss various topics pertaining to the regular activities of the Sugar Labs Project and Sugar. (It is expected that more frequent meeting will be required in the early stages of the program.) The minutes to these meetings shall be posted publicly on the Sugar Labs wiki,"

Committee reports will be a regular part of the meetings.

Who

The meeting is mainly targeted to Sugar Oversight Board, but everyone interested is welcome to join. It's primary purpose is to discuss general issues related to Sugar and the Sugar community; however, it is not intended as a replacement for the weekly developer meetings.

  1. a link to existing discussion thread(s) on public mailing list;

Agenda items

  • Report re our trademark policy (scenarios) [cjb and seandaley]
  • Discussion of Not fully bundled .xo ASLO question
    request could be shorten to
    • making a statement that current ASLO workflow is pretty unreliable, since ASLO is deployment agnostic, trying to bundle binaries to .xo is pretty fragile practice. At the same time taking one particular decision would either affect basic sugar workflows (fully bundled .xo) or leave situation fragile
    • thus it (could)requires non tech agreement to follow either "activities should not rely on non-SP dependencies and we should make it clear that we are not going to deploy Java/Qt/etc activities from ASLO" or "we will deploy Java/Qt/etc activities from ASLO and lets take the right tech decision(out of SLOBs) but (maybe) accept moratorium like [1] to not make situation worse until we take right tech decision" ways
    • Poll results
  • Review of Google Summer of Code planning
  • Review of our Goals for 2010 (goals)

Please contact an oversight-board member to add topics to be considered for the meeting.
