Organizing this wkd's community gardening is a perfect start- consider
posting recent motions that have passed here: (receiving 4 affirmative
votes, from SL Board members)

http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Oversight_Board/Decisions

The more we can align/harmonize the above with Governance pages (de facto
bylaws) the better:

https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Labs/Governance

Likewise posting SFConservancy's travel/expense/reimbursement policies
(etc) publicly would be wonderful if someone can dig up copy, and post it
here:

https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Finance#For_funding_travel

Side Question: has the Translation Community Manager's full contract been
posted publicly yet?  (Chris Leonard can send a postable copy/legal text if
nec!)

[IAEP] [Off Topic] devastation in the Peruvian rainforest

2016-05-09 Thread Laura Vargas 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZzxkACpMBU

A reflection: Can free-open technology save the rainforest biodiversity?

While you read this, very serious things are going on in the Amazon forest.
Due to the gold fever not only animals and trees are suffering but mainly
indigenous children are getting mercury poisoned as they and their families
eat their traditional fish diet.

30,000 hectares have been devastated only in the past 3 years. Local
indigenous tribes believe they need to communicate this urgently as their
call for help translates in a large effort to understand our "civilized¨
rules and laws. They may just not have enough time.

I believe smart use of free-open technology can help stop this tragedy. At
least I believe international public has the right and the need to know
what is happening here, in the heart of the Amazon.

I hope that we -as a community- get to understand ASAP that the importance
of indigenous languages translations goes a long way beyond the expansion
of Sugar users, but it should serve the promotion of cultural exchange and
the empowerment of current users to communicate with the world.

PS: please try not to buy any gold unless it is recycled

+1 para Yoruba i18n motion

Sugiero que para futuras propuestas se especifique el impacto que tendrá en
la comunidad. Es decir, cuáles y cuántos serán los beneficiarios de la
traducción, y si esto ampliará significativamente el alcance de Sugar.

Re: [IAEP] [SLOB] Yoruba i18n motion

2016-05-09 Thread David Ally 
Dear Oversight board members please vote YES for us. We can follow up with 
sourcing for more funding locally for other languages if this can go through.

Thanks for taking care of Nigeria's need, but we have so many languages 
here..we hope this would be a big success, that would pave the way for us to 
push for more work locally here.

Regards!

David
