[IAEP] [SLOBS] Sugar Labs Finance Committee [Was Re: Motion: To appoint Volunteer Laura Vargas as Sugar Labs Financial Manager [was Re: URGENT action needed]]

[Laura Vargas]

Good day Dave, Adam, Samson,  Bradley, Karen and every one in Sugar Labs
supported mailing Lists <http://lists.sugarlabs.org/>.


*Please suggest a candidate for the Sugar Labs Financial Manager position
at your earliest convenience.*

I'll be in favor of anyone aligned with the Global Development Goals
financial policies to be defined in the light of a global movement of open
access to information #OpenData and #open #communications to communities
involved in their own design, development and appropriation of the contents
and technology models.


Best and wish you always the best,

Laura Victoria Vargas Perez
