[IAEP] IAEP Digest, Vol 129, Issue 26

[Tony Anderson]

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to discuss how SugarLabs has been 
able to use gitHub to manage the GTK transformation of the Sugar 
activities.  or to focus on the work of one project in GSOC or GCI. I 
would hope our goal from the session is to attract volunteers to support 
the effort.
