Yes, it sounds great to me :) Will you also be working on the other parts
of the missions/vision chain for OLPC-SF? :)

No minutes taken. Our usual note taker is out. so is the back up.
Plus, our meetings are more informal than most (although we do
document) and the process was more conversational. The good news is
that we did come up with formalized vision and mission statements
(just posted on OLPC-SF list), and it's reassuring that 1) it's as
encompassing as we could imagine it to be, and 2) it states very
little that we didn't already know.

cheers,
Sameer

Re: [IAEP] [Systems] Maintenance downtime today for OS upgrades

[Sebastian Silva]

Hi,

I restarted the wiki service for the pe.sugarlabs.org domain.

I run it in `screen` but I will make it a proper service or maybe apache
can launch it.

Re: [IAEP] #Documentation SL Funding Committe

[José Miguel García]

Buena idea Caryl!
Quizá se pueda comenzar con algunas grabaciones cortas, que permitan que
los maestros vean qué posibilidades hay con algunas de las aplicaciones
disponibles, más desde lo pedagógico. Hay maestros con mucha experiencia en
esto, y muy innovadores...

Y una Sugar Fest es excelente!
