Money we have deserves respect, it is shared and we take responsibility for
it. Also legal responsibility. Our reputation and well-being requires us to
be transparent and make wise financial decisions - minimum cost, maximum
benefit.

And with all the respect to you and with no prejudice, I need to underline
we are not in real need to send people who face problems traveling
internatioanlly to represent us on Scratch conference taking place on the
other hemisphere, if we can send someone who lives much closer and
therefore for much less cost. It is nothing personal, just a rational
thought.

BTW, in case something bad happens while you're in EU, 30,000 euro health
insurance may not be sufficient. Medical services are really expensive
there.

I make no accusations about your community involvement. IMO we just don't

Re: [IAEP] [SLOBS] [SLOB] email motion re Scratch Conference

[Tymon Radzik]

I am not anyhow permitted to vote, I'd like to share my mind with you,
though. I completely support Lionel's opinion.

I think Sugar Labs, as every NGO, should be really careful and strict while
making financial decisions, especially these related to spending money we
collected. Costs to benefits calculation ought to be always made and well
considered. I do not see this high expense ($2800 is a lot of money) as
something necessary and possibly more rewarding for our community than
having OLPC representation. With all respect to Samson and Ibiam and the
great work they do - I think it is not it our interest to fund such
journeys. Private and more public matters need to be distinguished.

As a EU citizen, who has already helped some foreigners to get through
arrival process to Europe, I can confirm getting Schengen visa nowadays due
to the refugee crisis seems to be definitely not easy.

Best,
Tymon

Re: [IAEP] Sugar Labs 2017 Budget

[Tymon Radzik]

Sugar Labs is by its statement *volunteer*-driven project. We are
volunteers. We work for the idea of the free and open software and not for
own financial profit.

I can't agree with the idea of monthly stipends (salaries) being paid to
some members.

Not only breaking something I considered to be a fundamental principle, it
is also dividing the community. Our funds deserve to be spent in more
orgnization-beneficial way.

Additionally, I don't want to accuse anyone personally, but current
situation in our discussion could meet the definition of *conflict of
interest* for some members involved...

Tymon

Re: [IAEP] [SLOBS] Motion for Social Media Manager

[Tymon Radzik]

Thanks, of course i know that $100 won't be enough for ads, because
facebook charge around $5 a day (lowest rate). But the idea behind the 1k
is to make sure that the necessary things are carried out more like some
minor payments. Especially when you are using expensive ads on platform
like Twitter.


So don't you think we should in first place concentrate on the most
socially impactful thing = ads before we start giving salaries?

Also, I know many volunteers who get their work done without being paid a
cent, because they have developed self-discipline, motivation and they know
they're doing something good and beneficial. That's enough reward for them.
I am sure we have many such people in Sugar Labs. We don't need hiring. Let
us make a team and get it working.

Regardless of stated above, the ratio between advertisment budget and
propsed salary is definietely unacceptable.


I am speaking from experience, because i am one of the Social Media Manager
in my church, it practically cost more than that 1.1k proposed. I don't
want the community to see it as salary but funds for getting the necessary
things done in a month. I also mentioned giving back (funding) there are
also many ways to get funds from the media down to SL account but i would
have to ask SFC for guidance on how to know which funds to take.


Well, maybe I understand you wrong, because I understood it plainly as a
salary. What are these special expenses you are mentioning? If there really
are some, I think we can make a budget for these expenses and the SMM gets
reimburesed after showing receipts.

Getting funds from sponsors - great thing. Still, we can spend them in
other way than hiring. Let us make a team and get things done!


Like i mentioned few months back, it up to the Community to decide what
they want to make Sugar Labs grow further. Because i see us moving in a

Circle.


IMO making a paid SMM function won't break this circle (if it ever exists)
and have crucial impact on SL grow. To get SL growing we should first and
foremost concentrate on development, accessibility and making partnerships.

Best,
Tymon

Re: [IAEP] [SLOBS] Motion for Social Media Manager

[Tymon Radzik]

I am not SLOBs member, however I'd like to share my opinion with you.

I have to agree with Ignacio, I am completely against making proposed
"Social Media Manager" function to be paid.

First and foremost, because Sugar Labs is *volunteer-driven *project. The
idea is that members work for free supporting a good cause, the free
software. We should hire only when some extraordinary skills / exceptional
amount of time (like e.g. "full time educator") is neccessary to correctly
perfom one's duties. Creating other permanent paid functions inside the
community would cause somehow dangerous precedent. And even if, the
"salary" should be adequte to funds spent on buying ads. $100 budget for
advertising in comparsion with $1,000 salary is unacceptable for me.

Also in my opinion we should set some requirements for candidates for this
position, like: fluent knowledge of English and one another language,
significant experience in different social media channels, ability to
handle rough situations, responsibility, patience, PR skills. I am sure we
can find someone who could meet them in the group of SL members/volunteers.

Finally, I don't know whether having social media team with one coordinator
would not be better and less time consuming. The idea in general needs
further consideration.

Best,
Tymon

Re: [IAEP] Google Summer of Code 2017

In my opinion Sugar Labs participation in Google Summer of Code is really
important for our community and every year we get a lot of major

I am definietely for making an application, I am also ready to help as a
mentor.

Thank you very much for this year Google Code-in! It was awesome time in my

because of it. I am also really happy I could in general take a part in

 Here's a status report:

 I asked the board to appoint me election committee.

 Then the board decided we needed to have diversity in the committee.

 Now it's hard for Caryl, Samson and I to coincide, as one has been
 traveling, the other has exams, and I am in the process of relocating.

 I've setup a surveying system (a couple of months ago), that is pretty
 much ready for voting. I am still waiting for the committee to decide
 how many seats will be available and when to do the election.

 I was hoping to use the opportunity to make a wider survey in the
 community that could inform the direction for the Board. I will limit
 myself to be the technical person and make sure the surveying system
 works reliably, while I still wait for the other members of the
 committee to make decisions and try the surveying system.


 Thanks,

 After making you and Ms. Bigenho wait for several weeks to receive
 approval by the board to be added to the election committee and then seeing
 Mr. Parkinson receive overnight  approval, things were left somewhat
 unclear.

[IAEP] [Poll] Choosing better UI for sugarlabs.org

[Tymon Radzik]

Hi,
I've created new Sugar Labs website project and published it at
http://sugarlabs.org/~tymon . It is based on Jekyll, Bootstrap, CSS, some
plugins and JS. Its current design has been invented by my friend Piotr
Antosz (Boquete).

Other Sugar community member has created other UI for website which is
available at http://activities-2.sugarlabs.org/www-sugarlabs . It is based
on my orginal solution with changes to text, used libraries and page layout.

As we do not want on two separate projects, where authors' UI ideas are
totally different, we would like to know which one should be continued and
which abandoned. That's why we would like to ask you - Sugar community
members - for opinion which UI you like more and which one you want to see
in release page. As I try to be neutral I won't write here about advantages
and disadvantages of both projects.

Your opinion is really appericated!

Regards,
Tymon

[IAEP] New SugarLabs.org website - looking for opinions/ideas!

[Tymon Radzik]

Hello,

last week I was working with Walter Bender on new SugarLabs website, as
current one is too old and doesn't have attractive UI. Results of our work
is here:

http://sugarlabs.org/~tymon/

New website is based on Bootstrap, with some plugins and self-written
jQuery code. It uses Jekyll, so it doesn't need PHP anymore.

We would like to ask you for opinions about this new website, for ideas
what we can change/improve/add/fix.

All suggestions are very welcome!

Best,
Tymon
