Deployed on more than 2 millions of devices and supported by millions of users, Sugar is the #1 learning platform in the world. But we need to convince this large community that a future exist out of the XO laptop. It's my ambition as candidate to the SugarLabs Oversight Board. As I've done in past month as SLOB member, I will support projects where the goal is to expand the community and give a vision to SugarLabs. Even if it could hurt sometime, I will also refuse to spend our limited resources on ways that not fit into its vision. We're all volunteers and our time is precious, let's continue to invest it where it will be the most useful: give to learners the better free libre education platform.

=== Introduction===
I am a professor in the Information Systems department at San Francisco State University, in San Francisco, California USA. I also serve on the Board of Directors of the Drupal Association, which gives me significant insights into how large FOSS projects work both in the community and the enterprise. I am the founder of the OLPC San Francisco volunteer community, that continues to be active around OLPC's original mission and projects that have grown from that ecosystem, including Sugar, XS, XOVis and others.

I am an independent journalist, formerly working for a large company in IT, communications, advertising and marketing. As my children are (mostly) grown, and I set my own work schedule, I will have time to commit to Sugar again. I have been part of Sugar Labs since 2009, including a term as a SLOB, and was Marketing Coordinator for 5 years.

As its 10-year anniversary quickly approaches, Sugar Labs needs to do more than survive as a fragile vessel for One Laptop per Child's many still unmet dreams.
Sugar Labs can now begin standing up conscientiously in new areas, building on real-world deliverables <i>like</i> Sugarizer 0.9 on Internet-in-a-Box (a.k.a. the OLPC School Server Community Edition, http://schoolserver.org) now in use in a very rapidly growing number of countries where the XO laptop never quite took root:

https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/15x/presentations/internet-box
Google Summer of Code (GSoC) and Google Code-in (GCI) are an amazingly powerful start to bring us together constructing collaboratively + openly + coherently -- but these are <i>not</i> the only revenue/volunteer streams Sugar Labs and the Sugar Movement can bank on during its second decade!
All such strategic progress <i>is</i> beginning to take shape for an entirely new generation of DIY Sugar culture. But it is thanks to an underlying non-chaotic legal and accounting strategy with the Software Freedom Conservancy that all this is possible.
I have worked for 10 years with Sugar Labs (originally as OLPC's Community Support Manager) and then as Sugar Labs' liaison/representative to the Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC) for 2 years now to solidify a foundation here.

I have more 20 years of experience in the field of Education and Technology. I am currently working at the MIT Jameel World Education Lab (J-WEL) as the Associate Director PreK-12. I have helped multiple governments and non-government agencies to empower and support schools and communities of learners to evolve from traditional teaching methods into progressive learning environments.
I have a degree in Computer Science/Systems Engineering, a Master's degree in Educational Media and Technology from Boston University, and a doctorate degree from the MIT Media Laboratory. During my PhD thesis, I studied the implications of one to one learning in a rural setting in Latin America, which provided the knowledge and experience that I brought to the Interamerican Development Bank as a consultant in the Education Sector, and later, during 5 years I spent with One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) as Director of Learning. My interests include computational thinking and open-free software, personalized and digital learning and assessment, curriculum design, education for developing countries, teacher professional development, educational programming and robotics, maker education, quality learning at scale, among others.
During the last year at OLPC, I joined the Sugar Labs board, which allowed to develop a number of programs, resources and events in collaboration with Walter Bender and other members of the community. My current position at MIT and my knowledge of both Sugar Labs and the international educational community would allow me to bring new opportunities for Sugar Labs. I have witness the powerful opportunities SugarLabs and the work of the community have brought to a great number of children and young adults from many countries in the world. I would like to work hard to try to bring those to many more.
