Hi, Laura
Unfortunately, this is not my vision of Sugar Labs or Sugar. I see Sugar
as an educational opportunity provided to users of the OLPC XO
and others. Naturally, it takes software engineers to develop and
maintain this software, but the vision must be about the result - Sugar
and the
benefits if offers in an educational setting.

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/LibreSoftware 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.
