Sugar Labs Friends,
I didn't see your proposal, but I suspect from looking at
the winners, connecting to communities on the ground, who are grassroots
organizations is more their focus.
Small Solutions is thinking of applying to support the village XO projects
in HIV/AIDS education, and the wonderful work of Peter Amunga (local Kenyan
school teacher and playwrit) at Eshibinga with Jiggers.
http://eshibinga.wordpress.com. But let's work together, keep each other
informed.
Sugar is wonderful. It's not that the green machine isn't but with out your
Sugar work, we would be nowhere.

Hi Kevin,
thanks a lot for the heads-up and for all the information on your Web
site.
Did you get any feedback as to why the proposal wasn't accepted? Because
similarly to you it's my impression that Sugar-related activities should
fit
in quite well with RISE's scope...
You'd think Sugar would be a good fit for Summer of Code as well, but
apparently not.

Cheers,
Christoph

We submitted a Google Rise proposal last year, but were not funded. The
competition does seem like a good fit for Sugar Camps, after school
programs, etc., especially if working with populations underrepresented
in
the CS world.
