Sugar Labs

All software requires upkeep and maintenance. Help us keep the learning going for kids around the world by raising funds for a contractor to do the following work: Objectives Fix the following issues under https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/issues/: 996, 463, 462, 417, and 945; To continue testing and working on Sugar on a Stick (SOAS) images and packages; and Fix outstanding problems with the latest update to Sugar Labs Wiki. Scope Port sugar and sugar-toolkit-gtk3 to Wayland; Test anaconda issue on Fedora (the issue has been fixed upstream, but it hasn’t been tested to ensure it no longer affects SOAS); Research porting telepathy-salut to libsoup 3 as Sugar still depends on it for collaboration; and Fix issues in Sugar repo (see above for list of specific issues). Deliverables Complete and merge all of the above listed issues; and Report of research into releasing a new version of Sugar and its core dependencies after merge.

Built collectively by teachers and students, Sugar Labs's software is used globally for education. With roots in One Laptop Per Child (OLPC), our learning software has been used by millions of children over the world. Now, with over 350 software repositories , we continue to grow and innovate new tools for project-based learning. Providing mentorship at multiple levels, we have provided mentorship to hundreds of high school and college-age youth interested in pursuing future careers in technology. Sugar Labs now needs your help! We must now grow our capacity as an organization to do more good in education. And in order to do more we must hire educators, technologists, program managers, as well as cover the basic cost of running a reliable nonprofit organization. Please consider making a donation to help us build a solid foundation. The more we raise at this crucial time, the more we can accomplish in the future. Thank you for your continued support!
