mission statement. It is clear and concise and describes exactly what Sugar Labs is all about.</span></p>

one. After the mission statement issue is settled, I'll send what I have out so you can all work on getting them just the way they should be. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:15px">Please understand, goals are NOT the same as objectives. They are much more general. Objectives are designed to help achieve the goals and have a definite form...

<p><span style="font-size:15px"><br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:15px">Proposals for future use of Sugar Labs funds should be directed to meet specific
<i>objectives</i> and thus our goals and our mission. They are all interconnected.</span></p>
