Hi all, This application was very hard work, but it was worthy as it helped me shaped the vision of an OS for-girls-only inspired in Sugar :D
Unfortunately, we didn't pass to the final round for the $100 million grant! Hopefully next year more volunteers can help me in the Funding Committe so that our small community shall expand its wings!
