23:01 <alanc> good afternoon
23:01 <agd5f> hello
23:01 <+mherrb> hi
23:01 <+keithp> hello
23:03 <+keithp> bart is away today; anyone else have an agenda?
23:04 <alanc> I thought mherrb had sent some mail about XDS
23:04 <agd5f> nothing new here
23:04 <+mherrb> yes about the program 
23:05 <agd5f> keithp: did you get my email about the delaware franchise tax?
23:05 <+keithp> agd5f: yes
23:05 <agd5f> ok. cool
23:05 <alanc> not sure when Stuart's meeting with Karen is this week, haven't heard any updates from him on the 501(3)c stuff
23:05 <alanc> but then, he's in New York
23:05 <+keithp> alanc: also hoping to hear that Stuart has gotten an invoice to intel for the XDS funding
23:06 <+keithp> mherrb: I've secured US$15k for the event for travel sponsorship; it sounds like we'll have enough left from that for the social event too?
23:06 <alanc> I'll ask him when he get's back
23:07 <+keithp> alanc: needs to be in by Friday or we don't get any...
23:07 <+keithp> welcome to end-of-the-quarter finances
23:07 <alanc> I think he's back before then - was in NY to drop off a kid at college
23:07 <+keithp> what fun
23:08 <+mherrb> yes I havent counted exactly but I thing there should be some money left for the dinner.
23:08 <alanc> I think we allocated around $4-5k for the 4 travel sponsorships we approved last week
23:09 <alanc> last meeting rather
23:09 <agd5f> mherrb: I asked about funding the dinner too, but doesn't look like it's gonna happen
23:09 <+mherrb> If I'm not mistaken Mikhail Gusarov was the only one to ask after what we approved, and he cancelled his request (unfortunatly)
23:09 <+keithp> no time to get a visa, it seems
23:10 <+dberkholz> just wanted to pop my head in ... 
23:10 <+mherrb> it's partly my fault he sent me a personal e-mail while I was on vacation to get an invitation letter, but I didn't see it until last week, drawned in the middle of spam. 
23:10 <+mherrb> so I sent him the letter too late. 
23:12 <+mherrb> I'm a bit scared by the number of last minute registrations. As soon as I know more about the replacement room, I'll close the registration I think.
23:13 <alanc> now if we could only get as many last minute offers of content for the program
23:13 <+mherrb> I asked the people at Enac (benjamin tissoire and his boss stephane chatty) to present what they do in flight control UI with Xorg.
23:14 <+mherrb> they agreed. But it's still undecided if they bring a demo or if we take the metro to go visit their lab.
23:17 <+mherrb> if the latter, we can go there by the end of the afternoon on thursday (after the break) for example. 
23:18 <alanc> a mid-conference field trip could be fun
23:19 <alanc> is there anything else the board needs to decide before the conference begins?   (this is our last meeting until then)
23:19 <+mherrb> No I think that's all for now. 
23:20 <alanc> anything else for the agenda, or are we done?
23:20 <+anholt> nothing here.  enjoy the vacation^Wmeeting.
23:21 <agd5f> nothing else from me
23:23 <alanc> I move to adjourn then
23:23 <alanc> and hope to see most of you in Toulouse in 2 weeks
