[Sugar-devel] [SLOB] Motion (1 of 2) GSoC Stipends

[Walter Bender]

+1 from me as well

(I had reclused myself from voting on the earlier version of this motion
due to a conflict of interest in that I am a potential recipient of the
funds, but since I have said that I will not accept the funds for my
personal use, I think it is OK to vote.)
