Sugar Teams Update Report for SLOBs meeting (09-16-2011)

Name of team: Sugar Labs at NDSU

Mission statement: The mission of Sugar Labs @ NDSU is to provide the tools and support necessary for the children of Fargo, ND to pursue their curiosities and learning using the Sugar OS. Our goal is to foster a culture of smarter computing through the creation of games and software toward a richer performance of computer literacy.

Short Term Goals (three–six months):
1. Create the customized Sugar Labs at NDSU image, and produce and distribute two SoaS drives to each student at Madison Elementary.
2. Begin meeting with the Madison"Tech Team" with a more organized after-school Sugar (SoaS) plan.
3. Launch the OpenQwaq virtual meeting environment for the Sugar community to use.
4. Create a booth presentation at NDSU's "Software Freedom Day" celebration
5. Coordinate a Madison "Turtle Art Day" event in the Fall 2011
6. Receive XO laptops from OLPC and begin plans to implement English dept. production of documentation, as well as Computer Science involvement in the production of new applications
7. Begin to develop a connection with an OLPC school for either an in-school activity or the Spring event.

Medium Term Goals (6 months–one year):
1. Continue Madison Tech Team meetings
2. Coordinate second "Turtle Art Day" event in Spring 2012
3. Recruit more support from both the NDSU and Fargo community through events and other communication channels.

Long Term Goals(one year–three years):
1. Establish a stronger Sugar presence at Madison through the encouragement of the Tech Team
2. Continue to work toward the support of a global XO deployment.
3. Develop Sugar activities to contribute to the community.
4. Develop support documentation for both Sugar and OLPC communities.

What does the SL at NDSU see as its constraints from being more successful in its Mission?
No constraints to report currently that are applicable to the Sugar Labs community.

Subject: [IAEP] team updates

At the last Sugar Labs oversight board meeting [1], we discussed the
need to update the status of the various teams and local labs. You are
receiving this email because you are currently listed as a team
coordinator on the wiki [2]. We would like each of you to make a short
report on your team by email to the iaep list by 9 September  and plan
to attend the next scheduled SLOBs meeting, 16 September. Below [3] is
an outline prepared by John Tierney that may serve to guide you in
preparing your report.

I am aware that some of you are no longer active in your roles. In
those cases, could you please send me some names of possible
replacements as team coordinators. Also, in some cases, the teams
themselves are perhaps obsolete. This will be one of the discussion
topics on the 16th.

Note that Sebastian Silva will be contacting the local labs on behalf
of the oversight board.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks.

-walter
