Hi

Is anyone involved in Sugar Labs going to https://conference.iste.org/2016/
 ?

Has anyone gone from SL attended previous years?

ISTE 2016 says it is "the premier education technology conference," and
will be held June 26-29 in Denver, Colorado, USA.

I read the doc and the structure of the policy seems good, but I would like
to suggest some edits

- general edits for clarity, not exactly like
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_English but in that direction

- a section of the document for numbering it (semver.org style)

- a section for declaring variables like $X and $Y

I therefore requested comment access via Google Docs :)

Thanks Walter.  Actual topic is: absenteeism of board members.

In short, proactive replacement of board members who become regularly
absent for whatever unfortunate reason (health, death, resignation, family
obligations, change of life circumstances, etc).

Sometimes life gets in the way (and eventually death) of everyone's service
commitments, and we should honor their past service if so, no hard feelings
as life is about change!

To keep us all moving firmly forward, I will suggest that Board ethics
presume voting very regularly (or actively abstaining, by email if nec) or
if that's not possible: for board members to kindly remove themselves from
the Board if they are unfortunately unable to stay engaged, for whatever
reason.

Certainly we hope no board members ever die, suffer mental incapacitation,
kidnapping etc.  However ongoing decision-making and dynamic governance is
severely disrupted by ongoing absenteeism, whatever the regrettable reason.

So in keeping with the board 2010's decision on this matter from a
different era, I will suggest that if a Board Member (1) fails to vote and
attend pre-scheduled Board meetings for more than 12 weeks, (2) resigns or
(3) dies, then the Board is empowered and encouraged to appoint a
replacement for this seat.

Finally, just a clarification that the Replacement Board Member would be
required to defend their seat during the very next election.

Of course the above is just a proposal, towards nudging forward the
efficiency and effectiveness of Sugar Labs' Board: naturally this (or any
such similar) will need to be voted on by the Board, before it can be
enacted!

 Dear Sugar Labs developers,

 I am Ryan Cunningham, a person with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). I am a 
 member of Special Olympics, which believes that autism does not define me 
 (or anybody with autism), and I participate in practices with my school’s 
 Special Olympics Unified Soccer team (Unified Soccer is part of Project 
 UNIFY). I know that Sugar was designed especially for people in 
 less-developed countries, and I know that One Laptop per Child, one of 
 Sugar Labs’ clients, thinks the same of living in a less-developed country 
 that I think of having autism.

 But people in more-developed countries can also benefit from having access 
 to Sugar, being the kind of free-and-open-source software that it is. 
 Sugar, specifically, allows a user to experiment with the source code of 
 its activities—even while the activities are running! This represents what 
 the future of free-and-open-source software should be.

 To help spread that ideology even further, I would like to provide a set 
 of Fedora Kickstart files and installation scripts that a manufacturer of 
 tablet computers may use to install this derived version of Sugar on a 
 Stick onto its tablets. This gzip-compressed tape archive includes certain 
 versions of the Python Powered and Fedora Remix logos, which shall be used 
 to denote that Sugar is written in Python 2 and that this operating system 
 is based on Fedora.

 These scripts require at least Fedora 22. Logs from my final testing are 
 included. This compilation is governed by the X11 License, the same 
 license used for Fedora in general; the X11 License is also included. The 
 distribution of these scripts and of their output on your Web site is 
 encouraged. Please ask for permission from the Fedora Project regarding 
 use of the Fedora Remix logos.

 Thank you for your cooperation.

 Sincerely,

 Ryan Cunningham

During February's meeting I was assigned to report back during March's
meeting ideas on how to replace continuously inactive board members -- in a
respectful, consistent and most professional way -- to protect the vibrancy
of our legacy.

Then during March's meeting, time did not permit me to present this
high-priority action, ensuring our legacy and governance is purposeful and

Thanks all for keeping clean, proactive governance at the top of our list,

Re: [IAEP] Sugar for Tablets

Hi,
Try to avoid sending such large attachments in the future. The prefered
way to contribute code and get feedback is thru a Git repository (such
as Github).

Thanks for your contribution, hopefully you can engage the right people.
While some people on this list have taken part in deploying tablets, I
doubt we have the right people in the community to facilitate a
sustainable endeavor in this direction. Tablets tend to come crippled
with anti-tinkering software/hardware. For what hardware is your project?

My daughter was gifted an Amazon Fire tablet and I had a really hard
time rooting, removing spy/malware, and installing only (android based)
Free Software on it.

Sebastian

Hi Walter,

As I said at last meeting, I would like to add a topic regarding "Sugar
vision".
Will share a document proposal.

Best regards from France.

clear rules.

Sebastian, to quote your wife's e-mail "After a long talk with Edgar,
I am very worried that you keep asking for funds on his name.".   In
rhetorical terms, what you are doing is known as misdirection.  I was
speaking to her expressed concerns about Edgar, not about her  "Sugar
Translation Projects Fund" proposal.  I did not feel it necessary to
address that point as Walter's agenda:

Agenda:
1. Google Summer of Code status
2. Wiki Cleanup Party planning
3. Request from Edgar Quispe to attend Traducción e interpretación en
las lenguas originarias del Perú meeting in Lima
4. I18n manager discussion
5. Proposal from Samson Goddy re i18n in Nigeria
6. YOUR TOPIC HERE

includes an invitation for additional topic to be added (i.e. YOUR
TOPIC HERE), but perhaps that was lost in translation.

Do I detect an attempt at sarcasm in that autotranslator comment?
That's not at all collegial,  My Spanish is indeed a bit rusty, but I
muddle through.  When one works in i18n/L10n one must be aware of (and
sensitive to) the role of language and culture, as well as the fact
that some things, like sarcasm, do not translate well.

Yes, in June of 2015, I did miss reading two messages posted to
sugar-devel that had no further on-list follow-up.  I'm afraid my only
defense to that accusation is that there were 132 messages from that
list in that month and these two escaped my notice.  In retrospect,
I'm sorry I missed the opportunity to comment in a more timely manner.
This doesn't seem to be the right place for it, but the issues you
raise in those messages do not seem to be either egregious in number
or all that unexpected to someone with broader L10n project management
experience, it is part and parcel of the task.  I'm glad that you
addressed them, but they in no way tarnish the value of the extensive
work done by Edgar.

Please be specific about any misconceptions on my part.

I must strenuously object to this statement "unwillingness to engage
with the actual local community"  It is entirely unsubstantiated and
frankly offensive.  Is this how you would treat all volunteers to
Sugar Labs if given a funded position?  I feel no particular need to
defend my record of interactions with local language communities
against your entirely unwarranted and self-serving attack.  Shame on
you, you know better, you seem to have let your "passion" get the
better of you.

After how she was ignored in the last meeting [1] and the fact that the
proposal still is NOT in the agenda, I think she has a good reason to be
concerned.

Your long email is filled with errors. Please read the following emails
(use an autotranslator and ask if you don't understand, sorry,
sugar-devel is supposed to be bilingual) in order to get an idea about
the issues surrounding the Aymara translation in Peru. Those emails had
Roger Gonzalo the translator hired by the Ministry of Education in copy.

http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2015-June/050416.html
http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2015-June/050449.html

In short, no, the Aymara work done last year from Sugar Labs is not
exemplary at all.

Seeing so many misconceptions from your part and an unwillingness to
engage with the actual local community, I am concerned that you may not
be the ideal candidate for a Localization Team leader if this will be a
paid position. I am passionate about the subject and knowledgeable about
its intricacies and have been underfunded for a long time to engage in
this work, therefore I hereby announce that I will ask for this position
in opposition to you.

For transparency I have been paid ~3300 US dollars by the Ministry of
Education of Peru for integrating translations, writing patches for
Sugar, training translators, writing a manual, maintaining Pootle, and
releasing a localized OLPC OS build from Nov 2014 to Jan 2016. The fact
that you take credit for some of this work, is lamentable too.

Any further question from the SLOBs or the translation committee are
more than welcome as transparency is indeed very important.

I will write a proposal and share it publicly as everything in Sugar
Labs should be in the first place.

Dear Chris,

I see no reason not to discuss such an important issue before the SLOBs

I'm including Edgar in the mail so he can be aware and keep track of this

[IAEP] 2 Motions for Consideration 04/01/16

2016-03-30 Thread Caryl Bigenho

Hi Folks…
I am presenting 2 proposals regarding the position of Treasurer (a position
currently undefined and unfilled) for consideration at Friday's SLOBs meeting.
One is an ammendment to the bylaws regarding the eligibility of the person
serving in the position and the other is a separate motion dealing with the
duties of said Treasurer and how financial matters would be handled going
forward.
To see and comment or "tweak" these proposals, you can go to:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/16jIFuZ9bX-Bv675BpA1KmcEcRcX4PRCOUEX0ICRUkOc/edit?usp=sharing

I will also attach a copy to this email, but to add your input, please go to
Google Docs to do it so we can all see it. You will note that something has
been left open intentionally under "Expenses" ($X). Comments and suggestions on
this amount before the meeting would be a way to speed things up when the board
actually considers the motion.
The main purpose of these motions is to clarify how finances will be handled in
the future and to simplify and clarify the procedure for requesting and
disbursing funds for approved projects. The proposal submitted by Samson Goddy
for a translation project in Nigeria is an excellent example of the kind of
well crafted proposal that we would hope to see in the future with these
motions added to the bylaws.
I also want to clarify that, under no circumstances do I wish to be considered
for the position of Treasurer. I think it should be someone who has the time
and energy to do it well! I can think of several such people, but I will leave
that to the SLOBs.
Caryl Bigenho
P.S. I have been without internet since Sunday (just had new service installed
late yesterday) so I didn't send this until this morning.
