 SL members.

requiring an EIN, although referral to Conservancy entry in GuideStar may
be sufficient  http://www.guidestar.org/profile/41-2203632

Sugar Labs is described at http://sfconservancy.org/members/current/ as
follows:

Sugar is a learning platform that reinvents how computers are used for
education. Sugar's focus on sharing, criticism, and exploration is grounded
in the culture of free software.* Sugar Labs' mission is to produce,
distribute and support the use of the Sugar learning platform.* Sugar Labs
supports the community of educators and software developers who want to
extend the platform. Sugar is a community project: under the Sugar Labs
umbrella hundreds of software developers and thousands of educators work
together to build, disseminate, and support Sugar.

*Future Goals*

* Sugarizer Fund

* IIAB (Internet In A Box) fund

* Sugar Social Media Manager Role

* Sugar Finance Manager Role

(Dave
-1, I don't think SL is ready for this.)
- http://www.outlandish.com/fellowship/ is closed for now

The following organizations and government entities may offer grants:

- Intel (Laura: They have facilitated equipment "classmates" to the
somosAzucar Research and Development team, as we use them for testing
Debian-Sugar Distribution as requested by MinEdu Perú)
- Oracle (Sean: In the past I floated a partnership idea, where they help
us host a matrix of VirtualBox prebuilt Sugar VMs)
- Google RISE
- FedEx
- Red Hat
- Mozilla
- FSF
- Ford Foundation
- Dreamhost
- IBM
- Yahoo
- AMD
- Facebook
- Amazon
- Twitter
- Yahoo
- Netflix
- Pinterest
- Singularity University
- Hackidemia organization
- Afrimakers
- MakerCamp
- MakerFaire
- Samsung Research
- Microsoft (laura -1: No private software funds shall get into our
accounts!) (dave +1: money is money, and almost all the funding sources are
private companies; the Nadella Microsoft is very different to the
Gates/Ballmer era and is about as ethical as Google, Facebook, Intel, or
IBM :) (Laura: don't apply, the requirement from grants providers to
resonate SL values is not negotiable as it stands for the whole learning
model we are proposing.) (Sean -1: No point adding Microsoft or Bill &
Melinda Gates Foundation to this list.) (Dave: You assert your own values
as "SL values", but the observable behaviour of SL and OLPC is not
consistent with them. What do you see as the difference between Google and
Microsoft? Why does SL take Google's money?)
- Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
