That motion failed 9 days ago, since email voting is only open for 7 days.
Sorry I hadn't updated the
https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Oversight_Board/Decisions page yet, I have
now done so.

Do you think the existing mission statement that Laura quoted above conveys
this key activity adequately?

I am unsure if you think the mission should be changed, or kept the same.

If the subject is Pending Motion 2016-33, I am opposed to it for the
previously stated reasons. The key activity of SL is developing software
designed to help children learn, not providing a friendly environment to
learn programming of software for children.

[IAEP] Motion to update current SL vision statement

[Laura Vargas]

I hereby propose the motion to update current SL vision statement:

"About Sugar Labs(R): Sugar Labs(R) is a volunteer-driven member project of
Software Freedom Conservancy, a nonprofit corporation. Originally part of
the One Laptop Per Child project, Sugar Labs coordinates volunteers around
the world who are passionate about providing educational opportunities to
children through the Sugar Learning Platform. Sugar Labs(R) is supported by
donations and is seeking funding to accelerate development."

To the new proposed text:

"Sugar Labs is a global community where you can learn how to design,
develop and deploy high-quality Free/Libre Software that facilitates
self-discovery learning experiences and collaboration among young children
of all continents."

What is the problem we are trying to solve?

- Current Vision Statement is not wrong – but certainly is not inspiring or
unique.
- Current Vision fails to define what we do as an output: we provide
infrastructure so that a community of people can produce and deliver
software to children.
- Current Vision fails to identify our unique "selling"
points: self-discovery learning experiences and collaboration among young
children of all continents.

Blessings and thank you very much for your attention.
