dear all, Samson is now sponsored for the up-front expenses of his trip to GSoC in the amount of $700. His actual expenses are closer to $900 if anyone wants to co-sponsor. I understand that SFC is going to reimburse me around $630 because that is the amount they allocated for local travel expenses.

But for Sugar Labs to provide loans to our personal friends is a dangerous precedent frought with moral and ethical hazards. As such, personally my conscience forces me to abstain from all such matters. I strongly encourage others to provide Samson the $627.05 personal loan he in fact does need, if Sugar Labs cannot. *It will make a gigantic difference, and you will have a friend for life in Samson Goddy, who is likely to move forward accomplishing truly incredible things in his life.* --- Hilary Naylor, Ph.D. www.a2zed.us Oakland CA
