Looking at past minutes, I think I am proposing more of a change in
procedure than topics for the oversight meeting. We need to get more
people involved than are present in the IRC meetings.
In general I am echoing what was said on the "Planning for the Future"
email thread from three months ago.
But some topics (for the oversight meeting or an all-hands meeting)
would be:
1. What can Sugar publicly commit to having in terms of
users/developers/finances/etc. beyond what was mentioned in the
deployment survey.
Witness Dan's complaints over the 3 million number, James noting
no one filed a bug report for Sugar 0.105.1 yet, the lack of
candidates for past elections, the lack of interaction between the
XS development and Sugar development communities, etc.
It also would be useful to know what users/developers/etc. could
publicly commit to Sugar.
2. What is being done to address the main issues raised by
deployments in the latest development survey.
3. A complete holistic overhaul of how releases are done and
marketed. Sugar was originally created with a "if you build it,
they will come" approach that many community members have at least
privately complained about.
We need real-world examples of how to integrate Sugar with
curriculums, reference deployments willing to speak with
prospective ones, etc.
Setting up Sugar needs to be no harder than a child using it for
the first time.
4. What is being done to attract new deployments, developers (besides
GSoC) and project sponsors.
5. I would like to propose a "Sugar Ambassador" program similar to
the Fedora one where less-technical members of the community could
engage with other groups to figure out what they would need to use
Sugar. This does not necessarily mean that we need to fly them
everywhere; but it would give us a good idea of what might be
required to obtain gain certain types of deployments.

The next Sugar Labs oversight board meeting is on Monday. Anyone
in the community is, as always, welcome to suggest discussion topics.

I know there have been various board and development meetings
for Sugar.
But I would like to propose having an "all-hands" meeting
where anyone in the Sugar community as well as related groups
(deployments, schoolserver, etc.) could raise a topic and attend.
If there are few enough people, we might be able to do this
with a Google Hangout. For larger crowds we should try to get
permission to use an international conference bridge (to avoid
a dozen echo cancelers getting confused by each other).
There are a lot of things that need to be done that I suspect
could happen given a wider audience.
