<pre>Hi there! Enjoyed meeting via video feed.<br>Just a few thoughts/ideas on current thread. <br><br>>I suggested the slogan be "Sugar[land]: Where kids learn and play" .<br>Like this for Teacher/Student/Parent audience<br><br>If you think of Sugar Labs as two sides of a coin:<br><br>Heads-Students/Teachers/Parents the slogan:<br><br>"Sugar[land]: Where kids learn and play"<br><br>Tails-Developers/Software Stack the slogan:<br><br>"Sugar-Just Released! Building blocks for the Brain!"<br><br>>That's the slogan but we need a catchy mission for ourselves. Something<br>>that expresses that every kid/adult/child deserves the opportunity to<br>>learn and play. <br><br>“Sugar: A Gift to Your Nation: Global learning that works for every child.”<br><br>>The mantra has to be different from OLPC. We have to<br>>believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to hang out in Sugarland<br>>and we don't care about what the device they are using or how they got<br>>it.<br><br>A gift? It’s Free! <br><br>Global learning? Allows children to be an individual learner in a Global setting! <br><br>Nation? Should be usable wherever you live.<br><br>As soon as they start asking Questions-The Floor is Yours-Use it Wisely!<br><br>>1) Define a support program for countries, both volunteer and on<br>>contract if requested. Since SL does not employ devs, SL refer those<br>>requesting support to specific devs for direct employment. Have a<br>>special support@sugarlabs.org acct/mailing list to handle problems<br> <br>SEE Attached "Remove Constraints by Leveraging University Model.pdf" for ideas<br><br>Hope Your Having An Outstanding Day!<br><br>John Tierney<br></pre></body>
