​I think we want the adverb, globally, if at all.   'Global learners' seems
to be a cliche and unnecessarily limits our target audience.   Just what
are global learners?

Motion: Revise the Sugar Labs mission statement to "Sugar Labs is a
volunteer-run project whose mission is to reach global learners and
educators with a collection of tools that enable them to explore, discover,
create, and reflect in their local language. Sugar Labs distributes these
tools freely and encourages its users to appropriate them, taking ownership

This is a pretty decent mission statement that further explains sugar labs.

Looking for a second.

[IAEP] motion for a new mission statement

2017-04-21 Thread Walter Bender 
Through a community effort led by Caryl Bigenho, I am making a motion.

Motion: Revise the Sugar Labs mission statement to "Sugar Labs is a
volunteer-run project whose mission is to reach global learners and
educators with a collection of tools that enable them to explore, discover,
create, and reflect in their local language. Sugar Labs distributes these
tools freely and encourages its users to appropriate them, taking ownership
and responsibility for their learning."

Looking for a second.
