I hereby propose the motion to update current SL vision statement: "About Sugar Labs(R): Sugar Labs(R) is a volunteer-driven member project of Software Freedom Conservancy, a nonprofit corporation. Originally part of the One Laptop Per Child project, Sugar Labs coordinates volunteers around the world who are passionate about providing educational opportunities to children through the Sugar Learning Platform. Sugar Labs(R) is supported by donations and is seeking funding to accelerate development."
To the new proposed text: "Sugar Labs is a global community where you can learn how to design, develop and deploy high-quality Free/Libre Software that facilitates self-discovery learning experiences and collaboration among young children of all continents." What is the problem we are trying to solve? - Current Vision Statement is not wrong – but certainly is not inspiring or unique. - Current Vision fails to define what we do as an output: we provide infrastructure so that a community of people can produce and deliver software to children. - Current Vision fails to identify our unique "selling" points: self-discovery learning experiences and collaboration among young children of all continents. Blessings and thank you very much for your attention. -- Laura V. I&D SomosAZUCAR.Org Identi.ca/Skype acaire IRC kaametza Happy Learning!
