Most of the meeting was spent discussion potential umbrella organizations. We don't have a conclusion yet, there are some questions that came up and more that will come up. The next board meeting will be at the XDC where we'll be closer to a decision.
ITEM: email alias
Get a treasurer@ and secretary@ email alias to make it easier to have the
respective person's contact in various forms.
ACTION: Peter H to get this set up
STATUS: Pending
ITEM: access to board wiki
Current list of accounts on the board wiki excludes Peter H, Martin P and
Matt D, need to be added.
ACTION: Peter H to get the missing accounts added
STATUS: Pending
ITEM: ActionItems
Historically the board didn't have a good way of tracking action items.
http://wiki.x.org/wiki/BoardOfDirectors/ActionItems/ exists now, but more as
stopgap than a real solution. Trello has been floated as potential option.
ACTION: Peter H to look into better solutions
STATUS: Pending
ITEM: Discussion of Umbrella orgs
ASF is quite involved (License requirements, etc.) and unlikely a good
match. So far SPI and SFConservancy seem the best fit for us, but a set of
points still need clarification, these will continue to be discussed by
the board.
ACTION: Decisions to be made
STATUS: Pending
