| 20:14 |
walterbender |

| 20:14 |
pikurasa |
Kyle says "Delaware has received and filed our certificate. The new corporation, Sugar Labs, Inc., now exists, legally speaking." (since June 28th) |
| 20:14 |
llaske |
Great |
| 20:14 |
pikurasa |
He also says "I will follow up about governance and 1023 ASAP." |
| 20:15 |
walterbender |
I can give a quick update re GCI and GSoC |
| 20:15 |
Quozl |
Claudia is unavailable, caring for someone in hospital since 7am. |

Hello |
| 20:17 |
Quozl |
samsongoddy: hello. |
| 20:17 |
samsongoddy |
I was on transit back home |
| 20:17 |
Quozl |
So we're only missing Alex. Anyone heard from Alex re this meeting? Moving on, first topic; |
| 20:18 |
|
#topic new organisation |

As Devin said above, Sugar Labs, Inc. exists since 28th June. |
| 20:18 |
|
Welcome to Ifeanyi Ekperi as visitor. |
| 20:20 |
walterbender |
On a related note, I spoke with Stephanie, who organizes GCI, to let her know about our plans to separate from the SFC. |
| 20:20 |
|
She said that there would be no issues from the POV of Google |
| 20:21 |
|
We should be able to continue with GCI and GSoC as usual. |
| 20:21 |
llaske |
That's cool |
| 20:21 |
pikurasa |
+1 |
| 20:21 |
Quozl |
Will we divert Payoneer now? I think we should, if we have a place to put it. |
| 20:21 |
walterbender |
We may run into a bump or two regarding, for example, getting funds transferred for the GSoC mentor summit. |
| 20:22 |
sum2it[m] |
Thank you, Quozl. |
| 20:22 |
|
I don't think we should distrub Payoneer setup for this GSoC. Is that possible? |
| 20:22 |
walterbender |
I suspect that if we have our own Payoneer account, we can probably get Google to use that, but it may be easier to keep using SFC for this particular instance. |
| 20:23 |
Quozl |
I'm imagining a bump as the org that joined GSoC isn't the org that wants the funds. ;-) May have to wait and let the funds go via SFC. |
| 20:23 |
walterbender |
pikurasa, can you check with Karen? |
| 20:23 |
pikurasa |
sure. she was sick for a bit |
| 20:23 |
walterbender |
In any case, going forward we are good. |
| 20:23 |
Quozl |
#topic gsoc update |
| 20:24 |
Ifeanyiekperi |
I agree with Quozl, after this last transact, then we can part ways to avoid hitches |
| 20:24 |
walterbender |
We continue to meet on a regular basis with the mentees. |
| 20:24 |
|
Seems that progress is being made. |
| 20:24 |
|
The Monday group meeting logs are all available on meetings.sl.o |
| 20:25 |
Quozl |
for my part, the two sugar projects are going well. the students are learning to solve problems themselves. i'm not so sure hrishi knows how to solve problems, but i'm not mentoring there. |
| 20:25 |
walterbender |
We need to select two mentors to represent SL at the GSoC summit. |
| 20:25 |
Quozl |
isn the responsibility to select representatives |
| 20:25 |
pikurasa |
not me |
| 20:25 |
walterbender |
It will be held in Munich this year -- in part because of the visa issues we've bee struggling with here in the US |
| 20:25 |
pikurasa |
it was fun, but not me |
| 20:26 |
Quozl |
isn't the responsibility to select representatives already delegated to the co-admins? |
| 20:26 |
llaske |
3 Sugarizer projects are going very well too. Will be integrate in next version of Sugarizer/Sugarizer Server |
| 20:26 |
walterbender |
the MB projects are also going well. |
| 20:26 |
pikurasa |
yes, two very good students |
| 20:26 |
|
for MB |
| 20:27 |
walterbender |
Quozl, yes, re selecting the mentors... the co-admins should do that. |
| 20:27 |
Quozl |
and the co-admins are rahul, walter, and i. |
| 20:28 |
|
we have three streams; sugarizer, sugar, and musicblocks. is there a mentor who can represent two of these? |
| 20:28 |
walterbender |
yes... and I believe we have already agreed that Rahul will be one of the representatives. |
| 20:29 |
Quozl |
llaske: do you have any suggestion for a sugarizer mentor to attend munich? |
| 20:30 |
llaske |
I've got opportunity to go to summit already, same for Michael. May be we could ask to Tarun |
| 20:30 |
Quozl |
meta; i've no next topic. any new topics or shall we close half an hour early? |
| 20:30 |
samsongoddy |

| 20:31 |
Quozl |

| 20:32 |
walterbender |
Just a heads up that GCI will move back to its late November to mid-January time frame |
| 20:32 |
Quozl |

| 20:32 |
walterbender |
which is much easier for me at least. |
| 20:32 |
Quozl |

walterbender |

| 20:33 |
Quozl |
walterbender: thanks. |
| 20:33 |
llaske |
It's cool to have opportunity to do GCI again |
| 20:33 |
samsongoddy |
Sorry, my bad. I meant deployment in Nigeria |
| 20:34 |
Quozl |
samsongoddy: what about deployment in nigeria? |
| 20:34 |
sum2it[m] |
If anybody here doesn't mind, I'd like to represent the creative community that SugarLabs represent through it's projects. |
| 20:34 |
samsongoddy |
I am working with a coding club that secured some grant from Google |

Total of 140 laptops will be shipped with Sugar to 10 schools in Abia State, Nigeria |
| 20:37 |
Quozl |

| 20:37 |
samsongoddy |
As a first pilot, I have a team of 5 on ground ready to give Technical support. |
| 20:37 |
|
Abia state, Nigeria |
| 20:37 |
Quozl |
shipped _from_ where? |
| 20:38 |
samsongoddy |
From the coding club in Lagos |
| 20:38 |
|
But their main base now is in Abia state. |
| 20:38 |
Quozl |
what manufacturer and model? there are surely others who would want to know this; are you blogging or publishing this work anywhere? |
| 20:40 |
sum2it[m] |
Yup, sounds exciting. Please publish a brief blog about it. |
| 20:40 |
samsongoddy |
I am going to visit the club before it will be deployed. I already had a conversation with the founder and I will share a blog about this when every information is set and ready to be shared |
| 20:40 |
|
For now, I wanted to update the community of what to come |
| 20:40 |
|
walterbender and I had a conversation with the founder some months back |
| 20:41 |
Quozl |
we're not the community, we're the board. please update the community using the mailing list and wiki. what manufacturer and model? |
| 20:41 |
samsongoddy |
I don't have any information about the hardware until I pay visit to the club. I was updated by the team early this week about their plans |
| 20:42 |
|
I am paying them a visit by 18th of July |
| 20:42 |
pikurasa |
thanks for update samsongoddy |
| 20:42 |
samsongoddy |
Probably should have all the information before I travel |
| 20:42 |
sum2it[m] |
It's alright. You might want to publish something on 19th July :P |
| 20:42 |
samsongoddy |
Exactly |
| 20:43 |
Quozl |
okay, sugar within ubuntu is available as an install image from olpc os 18.04.0 for generic laptops, if that is of interest. it comes preinstalled with a set of activities. |
| 20:44 |
samsongoddy |
Thanks, I will look into that. |
| 20:44 |
|
So far they are looking to boost tools like Turtle Blocks and MB |
| 20:44 |
Quozl |
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/18.04.0 |
| 20:44 |
samsongoddy |
On their teaching Curriculum guide |
| 20:44 |
sum2it[m] |
samsongoddy that's some great news! |
| 20:45 |
Quozl |
there's also scratch if there's internet or a server nearby. |
| 20:45 |
|
but alas nobody has bothered to fix scratch as an activity on sugar. |
| 20:45 |
samsongoddy |
With the $250k they got from Google, they wanna use that to do some stuff around Sugar Deployment |
| 20:46 |
Quozl |
any other topics? |
| 20:46 |
pikurasa |
sum2it[m]: We will keep you in mind for summit. I have no particular opinions. |
