Sugar Labs already has plans to have a presence at this years PyCon, 
which is April 30th through May 10th in Cleveland, Ohio, USA.

I will be there personally, in my capacity as Oversight Board member, as 
will Samson Goddy. Ibiam had hoped to attend but had difficulty with his 
visa application, and eventually decided to cease pursuing the matter 
further.

Suggesting we be present there seems to indicate that some of the member 
base is simply unaware of ongoing plans and activities.

I would encourage members to read the minutes of previous meetings at 
https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Oversight_Board/Minutes

and specifically 
http://meeting.sugarlabs.org/sugar-meeting/meetings/2019-03-01

Information on when and where (via IRC) the meetings are held are 
available at https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Oversight_Board

Any member of the community is welcome to join and observe the meeting, 
as well as ask questions before and after.

Regards,
Alex Perez
