Local/Regional Sugar Labs

We would like to help local and regional groups establish Sugar Labs, whose mission would be to advance learning and the technical and pedagogical support around learning in specific locales. We are looking for input on how best to do this. Your input would be of great value to our efforts. Please join the discussion here.

To Do

• Schedule byweekly meetings and announce then on IAEP/Sugar.

biweekly meetings are in the shared calendar

• Determine Regional Sugar labs governance.
• Facilitate communication between learners and developers.(implement ways to do so)
• Document and complement deployment guides.
