I totally agree with "We should be able to speak about Sugar deployments as
we now speak about OLPC deployments. Sugar should be available for PCs and
mobile devices with xo being considered as one of the supported
environments".

I think we limited ourselves to an extent on OLPC deployments, we've tried
so far in making sugar available for different devices. Those companies are
not limited because canonical doesn't provide hardware devices neither does
redhat, but they've partnered with different companies that do.

Tony, if you've any plan as to expanding our reach apart from the one's
already listed, it'll be great if you tell us.

Hi, All

I certainly appreciate the attention my email has received. However, I 
am disappointed that the responses do not reflect my main concern. I 
beleive
Sugar and Sugar Labs will fade away if it continues to be perceived as 
the software that comes on an XO. I believe Sugar Labs and Sugar should 
be perceived as in a similar relationship as Red Hat is to Fedora and 
Canonical is to Ubuntu.


We need to have releases of Sugar: Long-term-support, latest stable, and 
developer. These releases should be downloadable as a single image which 
can be installed from a livecd usb stick generated by a dd command. The 
starting point is probably SOAS - which is not now installable without a 
technically difficult use of livecd tools in a Fedora 24 installation 
(which is difficult since Fedora provides Fedora 25).


As an evaluation of Sugar Lab's success is that the Mexican deployment 
presented in the OLPC SF Summit chooses to use Sugar instead of UberMix.

(http://www.ubermix.org/).

We should be able to speak about Sugar deployments as we now speak about 
OLPC deployments. Sugar should be available for PCs and mobile devices 
with xo being considered as one of the supported environments.


If no action is taken except to discuss future academic papers about 
Sugar Labs and SLOB elections, I think both will become totally 
irrelevant. Current OLPC deployments will choose new hardware to replace 
XOs and install on this hardware Windows, Raspbian, Chrome OS, UberMix 
or other readily available and supported alternatives. Sugar will join 
APL and Cobol in computer history.

There is a IAEP thread "Preparing for the 2017 SLOB Election" in early
August that has more details about all this.

First, I want to note that while an 'election committee' has been
mentioned, Walter said in that earlier thread:

I am of the opinion that SLOB does not have to approve individual
membership in committees. SLOB responsibility vis-a-vis committees is to
appoint a representative. So I don't think we need a motion.


As Caryl and Seb have reiterated on this thread: while they both helped run
the election last year, they both said a few months ago that they are
unable to volunteer for this year.

At that time I offered to volunteer, as did Samson; and I found a possible
web app to run the election and suggested Samuel Cantero could set it up,
and he graciously did set it up.

However, by September, (a) the GSOC project to make a font editor activity
wound up, and (b)  Sameer offered to lead the vision thing, and until that
is done I am not confident about taking any other actions, and (c) I
accepted an employment offer by Google and have had less free time since
then compared to when I was working as a consultant, so I haven't done more
of the things I said I would do. I wrote on August 5:

Then in early September I can send the email, and prepare a report with the
new list of members and similarly to before another draft email soliciting
board applications for SLOB to review and approve in the October meeting.

Then in early October I can send that email, perhaps also with the donation
request, and then prepare a final email calling for votes that SLOB can
review and approve in the November meeting.

Then in early November the call for votes can go out, votes can come in,
and in early December the results can be announced.


I still think this process is a good one, but regretfully I am not going to
be able to put much effort into this until January at the earliest.

So, I suggest that Samson and anyone who wants to volunteer to run the

Samson,

Seems like you will be leading this year!

Another option I see to save time would be to directly name the last 3
candidates from last year's election. Not sure if this has ever been done
before.

Quoting Dave:

"The top four candidates will serve 2 year terms and the next three will

1. Walter Bender
2. Lionel Laské
3. Adam Holt
4. Sameer Verma
5. Claudia Urrea
6. Tony Anderson
7. Jose Miguel Garcia

Therefore Tony, Jose Miguel, and Claudia's seats will be elected this year.

I guess it only makes sense to have an election if there are more
candidates than seats. Right?

This year I am not on the election committee because I am very involved in 
setting up an OSSIE track for SCaLE. I don't know who is on the committee this 
time or what their time table is. It probably should be finalized at tomorrow's

Hi all!

I am really interested in continue helping the community to shape it's vision 
for the following 10-15 years.

I believe society in general, needs urgently to rescue respect for the voice of 
women and young girls, specially in free/libre-culture/software projects.

That said I have found that helping out is easier when your voice also has a 
vote attached.

That's why I present my candidacy for the commingling board elections. 
Sebastian has shared with me he has no time to be part of this years election 
(is it 3 seats? is it for 2017-2019?) committee, so I ask all the other members 
to please set the time line in tomorrow's meeting.

Thank you all for the time!

Blessings and regards,

Caryl,

I Agree with you, we should be patient. The academia certification system
consumes a lot of time from people :P

You lead last year election time table, Any news this year?

Dave,

I recall you also joined the Elections Committee early this year, I hope
you still have time :D

Regards and blessings,

Laura Victoria

Hi all!

I am really interested in continue helping the community to shape it's vision 
for the following 10-15 years.

I believe society in general, needs urgently to rescue respect for the voice of 
women and young girls, specially in free/libre-culture/software projects.

That said I have found that helping out is easier when your voice also has a 
vote attached.

That's why I present my candidacy for the commingling board elections. 
Sebastian has shared with me he has no time to be part of this years election 
(is it 3 seats? is it for 2017-2019?) committee, so I ask all the other members 
to please set the time line in tomorrow's meeting.

Thank you all for the time!

Blessings and regards,

Laura Victoria

Hi all!

I am really interested in continue helping the community to shape it's
vision for the following 10-15 years.

I believe society in general, needs urgently to rescue respect for the
voice of women and young girls, specially in free/libre-culture/software
projects.

That said I have found that helping out is easier when your voice also has
a vote attached.

That's why I present my candidacy for the commingling board elections.
Sebastian has shared with me he has no time to be part of this years
election (is it 3 seats? is it for 2017-2019?) committee, so I ask all the
other members to please set the time line in tomorrow's meeting.

Thank you all for the time!

Blessings and regards,

I might quibble a bit with some of the wording but I am good with this.
I'll work on another draft before tomorrow's meeting (19UTC on
irc.freenode.net).
