The results for the 2025-26 Sugar Labs board cycle have been determined.
The votes have been counted, and the results for the 2025-26 Sugar Labs board cycle have been determined.
The winners are Devin Ulibarri, Sumit Srivastava, and Sebastian Silva. They have all been notified and have agreed to serve on the Board of Directors for the 2025-26 cycle. For this election, we used bettervoting.com after doing research on various voting systems. Please read our original election announcement for more information on how we decided upon this voting system.
The new members of the board will be filling the seats of two outgoing board members, Lionel Laské and Alex Perez, and one vacant seat.
The next election for three seats to the 2026-27 cycle is planned for August of next year. All Sugar Labs members may vote, and members can run for election to the Board of Directors, vote in the elections for the Board of Directors, and suggest referenda. As indicated in the Sugar Labs Inc. bylaws, anyone with “significant and sustained” contributions to Sugar Labs is eligible for membership. If you believe you qualify for membership based on this criteria and are interested in becoming an official member of Sugar Labs, you are encouraged to send an email to members@sugarlabs.org. And if you were a member in the past, but did not vote in this election, you will need to reapply for membership in order for your membership status to be reinstated. (If you voted in this election, no further action is required.) Registering for membership early will help ensure that you will be ready for the next election.
And if you are interested in volunteering to assist with the next election in 2025, please contact volunteering@sugarlabs.org with your interest.
On behalf of the Sugar Labs Board of Directors, we offer a big Thank you! to all who participated in this year’s election.
