Hello everybody / Hola a todos Hope all the holiday wishes come with many blessings for the big Sugar family.
2015 was a great year, many exciting releases! I would like to congratulate and thank you all. I'm glad we have enthusiastic candidates for the upcoming elections. It surely is of our best interest to have good quality software in the hands and heads of our little ones, therefore I believe during the 2016-2018 period SL should center it's energy on QUALITY. Quality of process, functionalities, documentation,etc. So talking about Quality, one of the first things I would like to underline is that there currently is a deep organizational conflict since there is an Executive Director also serving as an Oversight Board member. I believe this situation is unhealthy and must be avoided if possible. >From our wiki: "The Executive Director (ED) is responsible for the day to day operations of the foundation and reports directly to the Oversight Board <https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Oversight_Board>..." 'The current Executive Director is Walter Bender <https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/User:Walter>, elected by the during the 2008-09-19 board meeting <https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Oversight_Board/2008/Log-2008-09-19>." I propose we ask Walter to withdraw his candidacy for the 2016-2018 Board and continue serving as Executive Director for Sugar Labs. Best regards. -- Laura V.
