[Sugar-devel] [IAEP] [SLOBS] [SLOB] meeting reminder and some open issues to discuss

[Dave Crossland]

Labs; Members can run for election to the Oversight Board, vote in the
elections for the Oversight Board, and suggest referenda.

Adam, I think the list is at
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Labs/Members/List  and was updated

ago
