OK. I'm with Samson on this. If we had the ability to spend small amounts on 
things for conferences and exhibitions like sticker materials, banners, or even 
pizza lunches for our booth volunteers so they wouldn't have to leave to go 
eat, we could do a better job of "selling" SugarLabs and its projects. But I 
think members (not just SLOBs) should have input on this. I suggested $100 max 
without prior SLOB approval. Others may think it should be higher or lower.

Re: [IAEP] [SLOBS] [Sugar-devel] [SLOB] meeting reminder and some open issues to discuss

[Caryl Bigenho]

Hi All…
Ed is home now and his brand-new Echo-cardiogram-friendly pacemaker is happily 
ticking away at 70 bpm. So, now I can finally give some feed back on the 
motions….
Initially I left the values of $X and $Y undefined as I thought folks would 
want to discuss these and fill them in. So far that hasn't happened.  The 
Financial Manager job holds a lot of responsibility and could take considerable 
time to do well. I hope folks will agree with me and set the value of a monthly 
stipend accordingly.
For small expenses, it seems $100 would be a reasonable amount to cover most 
contingencies. Some may feel that is too low. That is why I was hoping it would 
get discussed.
Perhaps this could be set annually when a proposed budget for the year comes up 
for approval. It would be great if we could look forward to possible 
contingencies and events in the coming year like conferences that, so far, most 
of us have done on our own dime. Money for "marketing" could be set aside 
annually and conferences could be a part of it. 
Since the original motion has been broken up into parts, there is no reason it 
has to be voted on all at once. Perhaps we could start with the part that 
establishes a Financial Manager with a fair stipend?
I have been thinking a bit while sitting with Ed in the hospital, and I am 
beginning to believe that 2 more things need to be done as well to make 
SugarLabs a viable concern that will last.  
One thing is to define the goals of SugarLabs. Looking at the initial goals… 
they are fine, but perhaps we need to look also at the changes in technology 
that are still rapidly happening. Considering more than just Sugar on XOs has 
to be the way forward. Things like IIAB (and Adam's IIAP) and Sugarizer are 
just the beginning. Who knows what will be coming around the next corner? 
Something that focuses on bringing quality open-source educational learning 
opportunities to the children of the world, regardless of language, location, 
economic status, or other factors should be the goal. This means that promoting 
excellent platforms, other than Sugar (such as the great stuff OLE-Nepal has) 
should be a part of the efforts. 
Secondly, hardware should not be an issue. Sugarizer's focus on bringing Sugar 
to any device with a screen is an excellent beginning.  It needs a lot of fine 
tuning. For example, I find that Sugarizer on an iPhone is quite different than 
Sugarizer on an Android phone, which is also different from Sugarizer on an old 
iPod or on a Kindle Fire tablet or an Apple iPad. Documentation telling the 
user how to optimize it for their own particular device could be a SugarLabs 
project that everyone could contribute to. I would be happy to outline the 
steps for doing this so we could get such a project started.
Which brings up a third thing that I would love to see added to these two 
goals… making Sugar and other open source software easily accessable to 
children, parents, and teachers via easy to follow directions and suggestions 
for using it to maximize fun, learning, and discovery. Documentation is a key 
element that SugarLabs has not done well so far.
OK. This has been a much too long answer to Dave's simple question:" is your 
intention for the motion to be drafted with $X and $Y undefined?"  Sorry! It is 
sooo much easier to type on my Mac than it is on my iPhone that I guess I sort 
of got carried away! So, short answer: No, they should be defined and I think 
the Sugar Labs members should discuss and reach a consensus on the amounts.

Re: [IAEP] [SLOBS] [SLOB] GSoC mentor stipend motion

[Lionel Laské]

Disagree.

Thought I understand that 500$ is lot of money for some people, I think
that GSoC is also a way for SugarLabs to raise money. Because we don't ask
for an annual fee to member (like other association, for example OLPC
France), it's even the only way to hope for a regular contribution.

Best regards from France.

Re: [IAEP] [SLOBS] [Sugar-devel] [SLOB] meeting reminder and some open issues to discuss

[Lionel Laské]

Sorry to be once again the devil's advocate but I think SugarLabs has no
resource to pay for a Financial Manager. We can't both support the cost of
a SFC and the cost of a Financial Manager.
I think the job done by SFC and nice reports by Adam and Laura (and others)
are enough for a small organization - without regular budget - like
SugarLabs.
If we need to have a Financial Manager so we need to think seriously to
exit of SFC.

Best regards from France.

  Lionel.

Re: [IAEP] [SLOBS] [SLOB] Yoruba i18n motion

[Lionel Laské]

Disagree.

I don't see any evidence how Yoruba localization could increase the size of
the Sugar community. I think we mix here two things:
- a localization project without any clear need on the field,
- a legitimate wish to thank an active and loyal contributor (Samson)
I can't be agree with the first one (including within the Trip Advisor
deal): it's time and money for nothing.
I'm agree with the second one but may be we could imagine other ways to do
that, i.e. ask Samson to work on more useful tasks. For example help on
initiative like the Tony one to invent an auto localization process.

Best regards from France.

  Lionel.

P.S.: Sorry for my absence at the SLOB meeting. It's my fault but I was

Adam,

As SFC contact, could you please confirm that this 2012 version of the
Amended FSA is the currently effective agreement?

Note, it shows the 10% cut of revenue, no transaction fees.

I think you are wrong, but I am still looking for the proof.  It is my
understanding that SFC takes 10% of incoming donations only, not a 10%
cut of all transactions (inbound and outbound).

That is what is described in their template Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement.

http://sfconservancy.org/docs/sponsorship-agreement-template.pdf

"Fees.
The FIXME-SIGNATORIES agree to donate ten percent (10%) of the
Project's gross revenue (including, but not necessarily limited to,
all income and donations) to Conservancy for its general operations."

I'm looking for an executed copy of the current SugarLabs-SFC FSA to
confirm, unfortunately the wiki version looks at variance with the
template, but as a wiki page, it has no "official" status.

I'm presuming so.

In other words that SL's effective payment to SFConservancy (for
legal/financial/administrative service) is equal to 10% of all expenditures
(outlays) each fiscal year, i.e. March 1st to end of February.

(But someone else can correct me if I'm wrong!)

Thank you Adam for helping us understand. I had no idea how the
contribution for the SFC was calculated. Does the 10% apply for every
transaction (incomes and outcomes) or is it only for outcomes?

Can you please confirm if the 10% (USD$ 1,200) will go under the "Donated
To [Software Freedom] Conservancy" liability account?

Best regards
