Can we please move on? Regardless of the merit of bringing this to SLOB, the vote was taken, the motion passed. I think James was quite clear regarding next steps. Lets please get back to the work of the committee itself. regards. -walter On Thu, Sep 7, 2017 at 7:54 PM, Laura Vargas

It's +1 from me. But I will leave SLOBs once this happen, I honestly don't have time, and I no longer feel motivated to be part of the SLOBs. I will remain as a Sugar Labs, and will mantain some systems if required. Thanks. On Wed, Sep 6, 2017 at 6:16 PM, Adam Holt wrote: >

I would think membership on the committee would be a unilateral decision by the committee itself. In any case, +1 from me. -walter On Wed, Sep 6, 2017 at 5:02 PM, Samson Goddy wrote: > Hello, > > I am requesting to SLOB. To add Pericherla Seetaramaraju (Google Summer >
