Items discussed
ITEM: xdc talks Main track fully assembled, took a lot longer and more work than previous years. Still need to schedule. Workshop proposals trickling in. STATUS: Pending ITEM: xdc lunch Organizers came back and said the offsite place is too far away and will take too much time. On-site options fairly limited and of low quality, except when we sponsor. Board agrees to sponsor improved lunch ACTIONS: Daniel types mails STATUS: Pending ITEM: public liability insurance for XDC One prospective sponsor requires this. Seems like a good idea in general, so added to the RFP page for next year (https://www.x.org/wiki/Events/RFP/), and coverage approved for this year. ACTIONS: Daniel types more mails STATUS: Pending ITEM: per diem meal reimbursement Bryce checked with SPI for meal reimbursement, per diem is what they want. Relevant links for maximum allowed added to https://www.x.org/wiki/XorgFoundation/Policies/Reimbursement/. Board approves the per diem meal sponsoring request of one gsoc. ACTIONS: Daniel writes even more mails STATUS: Pending ITEM: server incident A security researcher walked into our member server. Code patched. Other (well-maintained) open source options seem lacking, but could at least reduce the amount of information we collect about our members. Best option seems to delete accounts that have been in inactive state for a while. ACTIONS: Eric volunteered to add an expiry page for inactive accounts. STATUS: Pending
