Martin Dengler has persuaded me that having SLOBs vote on this issue could help us move forward, even though there obviously isn't community consensus on it yet. I'm uncomfortable with the idea of having SLOBs vote on community-wide disagreements, but I have a plan for that, which I'll explain in a moment. First, I'd need to know what the specific questions (with yes/no answers) that people are interested in a vote on at the SLOBs meeting next week would be. Some things I've read that might be those questions go something like: "Should Sugar Labs be a Linux distributor, rather than just an upstream producing Sugar releases?" "Should SL be neutral about distributions containing Sugar, and refuse to endorse one over another?" "Should 'Sugar on a Stick' be a phrase that SL asks its community to avoid using unless they refer to the SoaS-Fedora distribution?" To avoid forcing a vote on questions that shouldn't be answered by SLOBs, I propose that the answers for each vote should be: * Yes * No * We should talk about this question more before voting on it * We shouldn't vote on this question for some reason (e.g. ambiguity in the question, or wanting to abstain) To add a question to the list (I'm not going to add any of them myself), please add to the bullet points at: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/index.php?title=Oversight_Board/Minutes#Friday_18_Sept_2009_-_14:00_UTC If you don't like the idea of this becoming a SLOBs vote, it would be useful to say that too.
