[IAEP] MOTION to budget professional services for a Yoruba-Igbo XO build WAS [Re: Yoruba localization contract completed

[Samson Goddy]

Hi all,

Thanks laura for bringing this up. I have working on bringing sugar to
Nigeria schools, because the people that use Sugar currently are just the
xo-1 users.

As i told Chris Leonard last time when he reach me about getting
translators. I am working on getting a group of developers in Port Harcourt
and also translators. These people are eager to contribute to open source,
which is good because of project like Google Summer of Code.

I was thinking about doing something like "Sugar Labs summit" in Nigeria to
connect to all these category of people mentioned. But funds is a problem,
i have been trying to reach out to local sponsors. But definitely Scratch
Conference in Bordeaux will become more productive if i connect to sponsors
for workshops.

They have but in a small scale, because people are still using the xo
laptops. But not as before.

+1, i am very support of this. I have been trying to work something out. At
least, i and walter are planning a workshop in Nigeria, which will serve as
introducing sugar to new schools. And also help create a small deployment
to help support the schools with xos(2,000 machines).
