SPI transfer moving ahead, rolling out donations pages&links now!
Items discussed
ITEM: travel sponsoring Flight for Samual Pitoiset for roughly 350 EUR approved. Travel for Sebastion just for golem.de coverage denied. Board will reconsider once the paper committee has made a decision whether to accept Sebastian's talk or not (since it's not on a traditional XDC topic). Board also discussed the travel sponsoring policy and clarified that an accepted talk is needed. There's an exception for lwn-like in-depth coverage of the talks, since those are essentially the XDC proceeedings. ACTIONS: Daniel to reply to Samuel&Sebastian ACTIONS: Bryce to clarify our travel sponsoring policy per the discussion. STATUS: Pending ITEM: spi transfers We can accept donations now! Bryce&Stuart will keep chasing the closure of the X.org Foundation Delaware corp. Decision on where/how to store the financial records is postponed, we might want to look into stuff like git-crypt. ACTIONS: Bryce to update the wiki with sponsor links. ACTIONS: Daniel to send the drafted closure paper to Bryce for handling taxes. STATUS: Pending ITEM: gsoc Running nominally, ending soon. STATUS: Pending ITEM: x.org domain No updates. ACTIONS: Egbert to keep chasing. STATUS: Pending
