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.

As Dave and Caryl mentioned earlier, i think the best thing is to redefine

For what it's worth, Sugar 0.110 (OLPC OS 13.2.8) has been installed on
hundreds of XO laptops, all models in Rwanda. The codebase is reaching

That is great to know!!! :)
What xo models are those?
Does anyone know of any other
All models are obviously xo-1, xo-1.5, xo-1.75 and xo-4. Sugarizer is
not relevant since the XOs deploy Sugar. The Sugarizer activities are
mostly also available as Sugar web activities. We are using the Python
Turtle blocks.

Hello Tymon,
Sorry it took me a while to reply.
This Budget discussion is an open door for proposals, please do share yours
as this policy making is also an educational process and
I hope I have made myself clear. The future of Sugar Labs, if it has
any, is to provide Sugar on all widely distributed platforms so that it
becomes a viable option for potential adopters. Sugar Labs needs to
understand that a parent or educator who is looking for an educational
platform is not
Sorry Laura
The money is better kept in the bank until Sugar Labs has an objective
and understands what kind of resources it needs.
It is good that Sugar Labs is considering a budget for this year (a
gross dereliction last year). However, an organization makes a budget to

Hi Caryl,
I confess I love sharing my planning expertise with Sugar Labs :D
Open Badges is a proposal made in the call for strategies for the official
