[Sur] [IAEP] Fwd: [Sugar-devel] [SLOBS] [SLOB] scheduling our next meeting

Lun Feb 8 16:38:17 EST 2016

Another agenda item is Google Summer of Code. I've begun our application
but await community input as to whether or not we should apply.

Regarding the X-Prize, I looked into it pretty closely at the time and it
was IMHO *not* a good fit for Sugar. It is a very call for participation
with a goal that is at best orthogonal to our strengths.

Looking forward to the discussion on Friday.

regards.
