Chris would like to contribute his expertise in working with and advising non-profit organizations (various patient advocacy groups), government agencies (external reviewer/advisor National Institutes of Health, Roadmap Initiative) and software development operations (member of the Scientific Advisory Board of a scientific software firm, Artuslabs). Chris has a great deal of experience in acting as an “honest broker”, analyzing the roles and needs of various stakeholders and designing and implementing strategic plans to achieve optimal results. Chris believes he has the necessary expertise to advise SUgar Labs on a wide scope of issues that it faces in this initial stage of it's growth.

Martin is a professional programmer who got an XO to support the OLPC project and have a laptop for daily use. He has been an activity contributor, not just to Sugar, but to project components such as power management, kernel, wireless, and various Sugar activities. A search for mtd in trac gives a good indication of the breadth of his work.

Martin is a professional programmer who got an XO to support the OLPC project and have a laptop for daily use. He has been an active contributor, not just to Sugar, but to project components such as power management, kernel, wireless, and various Sugar activities. He 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, but kept himself in in case there seemed a desire for someone who was:

# A programmer who's had a number of patches to Sugar and other OLPC software packages accepted.

 

# 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

 

If not elected, he will help SugarLabs/the board members to realize those goals anyway.
