Re: [IAEP] [Sugar-devel] welcoming the new Sugar Labs oversight board members

[Rishabh Thaney]

Sounds like a good idea, you mean for the activities mentioned in the
previous mail?

I will be exploring more activities listed on the HOC website, and come up
with more ideas to implement ours.

Interested people can also join, would be fun working on this :)

 A bit of context:

 We are assigned 3 slots for GSoC mentors to attend the mentor summit. I
 am hoping that Devin and Jaskirat will be able to attend, along with one
 TBD. We will get $3300 from Google to cover all of the expenses, which
 should easily cover Devin (domestic travel)  and Jaskirat (international)
 and one more domestic traveler. (Google will also be covering the local
 hotel and meal expenses.)

 Motion: To approve a travel advance for Jaskirat to attend the Google
 Summer of Code mentor summit in October 2018.

 Regards.
