[Sugar-devel] Sugar Outreach Plans 2019 - PyCon Cleveland

[Jaskirat Singh]

Thanks Vipul for taking this up, The funds that were granted by Google  for
GSOC ( I guess ) remains with the community and it is being controlled by
SFC of which Sugar Labs is a member project.
I see that Sumit initiated about swags, but maybe it might not have been
made to move further due to absence of the budget proposal.

So if anyone of us can try working on proposal for marketing along with a
marketing team that would be great and would become easy for Board to
review and add up their decisions.
