[Sugar-devel] welcoming the new Sugar Labs oversight board members

[Rishabh Thaney]

Thanks for the update, Walter and congratulations to all the newly elected
members.

I would also like to help Samson and Vipul with outreach.
Would also like to share that we recently hosted an 'hour of code' with the
ACM student chapter of our college in which we went to a school and taught
basic programming to the students of 5th grade.

I was wondering if Sugar Labs also participates in the ACM Hour of code
which takes place every year.
Would also like to discuss the possibility of partnering with Code.org and
to see if we can list an activity here:
https://hourofcode.com/in/en/learn

Which I believe would help in outreach and supporting a bigger cause as
well.
I would request everyone to please share any relevant inputs on this.

Happy holidays!

Best
Rishabh
