Bordeaux, France (19-21 July 2017) to strengthen our relationship with
Scratch, Sugar Labs should allocate up to $500 in support of his
obtaining a French visa, including (as nec) travel from Port Harcourt to
Lagos for as many days as required. Any receipts to this end, Samson
will submit to the Software Freedom Conservancy. It is understood that
if the French government very unfortunately turns down his visa
application, preventing him from attending Bordeaux, these lost funds
will be borne by Samson Goddy."</div><br></div><div>Thanks in advance to any board members who can second this motion, thereby helping Samson/Scratch/Sugar move forward!<br></div></div></div></div>
