== Current events date convention ==

Walter,  I'm not sure I get the link-naming convention you are using on [[Sugar Labs/Current Events/Archive]].  The text there that says "2008-06-16" links to [[SugarLabs:Current_events/Archive/2006-06-24]].  Is one start of week and the other end of week?  You and I have reverted each other on this (maybe even twice), and that just seems like a silly misunderstanding to have. In the spirit of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:BRD WP:BRD], I may just be missing the convention you are using and I'd like to I understand it.  [[User:Cjl|Cjl]] 18:14, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

:I need to move all the pages to the correct date. I accidentally started naming them based on the date I moved them into the archive instead of the date I created them. --[[User:Walter|Walter]] 21:31, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

::I was assuming the date of publication on IAEP was the operative date and I had crossed-checked against the archives there to do the last rename/relinking I did yesterday, which you reverted today.  No point in operating at cross-purposes, so much to do to move forward without tripping over each other.

::I'll take another pass at it, carefully checking against the IAEP archive pages again.  I do much of my wiki editing from 22:00 - 03:00 local time, so I'm just as susceptible to error as the next guy :-)  [[User:Cjl|Cjl]] 21:49, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

== notes re administrative transactions with the SFC ==

== transactions discussion ==

Sugar Labs is a member project of the [http://conservancy.softwarefreedom.org/ Software Freedom Conservancy], "an organization composed of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) projects. As a fiscal sponsor for FOSS projects, the Conservancy provides member projects with free financial and administrative services, but does not involve itself with technological and artistic decisions." While we benefit from the numerous services provided by the conservancy, we are also under an obligation to abide by its mission--promoting FOSS projects--and work within its administrative structure. Below is a set of administrative procedures for routine transactions with the Conservancy. If you have any transactions that fall outside of those listed below, please contact [[User:Walter|the Sugar Labs executive director]].

=== Request for payment ===

== Cambodia ==

 

Hi Walter, I'm a former OLPC-EU employee in Brussels, preparing a trip to visit my wife's family in Cambodia and to meet the Minister of Education of Cambodia. Saw you on http://wiki.laptop.org/index.php?title=OLPC_Cambodia&action=history  ... do you have any special interest to Cambodia in particular? Can you team-up / coach me? Thx

Some Sugar Labs projects have a budget (e.g., Google Summer of Code). Typically there is a project leader who has put together a budget that has been vetted by the Conservancy (See [[#Project proposal approval]]). If you have incurred a project-related expense, please submit a copy of your receipt to conservancy AT softwarefreedom DOT org along with a brief explanation of the expense. Please be sure to include reference to the specific project for which the expense applies.

: My recommendation is to contact Elaine Negroponte, who was there from the beginning and is still carrying on. Also, there is a chapter on Cambodia in my book, [http://www.amazon.com/Learning-Change-World-Social-Impact/dp/0230337317/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1358609557&sr=1-1&keywords=walter+bender Learning to Change the World].

 

Similarly, if you need to invoice Sugar Labs, please submit your invoice along with a reference to a project to conservancy AT softwarefreedom DOT org.

 

 

=== Project proposal approval ===

 

If you are applying for a grant proposal and wish to include Sugar Labs as a partner, it is necessary to run your draft proposal text by the Conservancy to make sure that it is within the bounds of the Conservancy mission. Please send a draft to conservancy AT softwarefreedom DOT org two weeks ''before'' the proposal is due in order to allow time for review and feedback. Proposals where the Conservancy is the lead organization will incur a 5% overhead rate to cover administrative costs.

 

It is customary to reference the SFC in your proposal with language similar to:

 

:Sugar Labs is a member project of the Software Freedom Conservancy, an organization composed of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) projects. As a fiscal sponsor for FOSS projects, the Conservancy provides member projects with financial and administrative services. Technological and artistic decisions about the projects' development are left up to project leaders, who are designated by a formal agreement between Conservancy and the project.  In the case of Sugar Labs, we have a member-elected oversight board (See http://conservancy.softwarefreedom.org and http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Labs/Governance).

 

=== License request ===

 

 

* a list of which marks are desired to be licensed, along with a full description of how they will be used;

* a description of the current use of any Sugar Labs marks;

 

Initial contact will be made within two weeks of receipt of a request.
