[Sugar-devel] Smart way to get $$ for posting videos on youtube

[Sean DALY]

I myself don't see an upside with allowing random ads to be associated with
Sugar Labs, for the tiny amount of income we might receive. If indeed our
US nonprofit status through SFC would allow gains from advertising. Far
better to do Calls to Action ("CTA" in their jargon) and Annotations,
requesting donations.

I support Samuel's suggestion to regroup our social media accounts and
publish a posting policy modelled on Cloudstack's.

Leaving aside our small content stream, a fundraising drive needs a
compelling story about our vision and goals. I'm not sure what that story
should be.
