Items discussed
ITEM: gsoc/evoc All good, both students passed 2nd evaluation. Board approves 150$ for hw for a gsoc student. No evoc updates. ACTIONS: Trevor/Eric to get the reimbursement sorted. STATUS: Pending ITEM: travel request update One updated travel request, 80$ more than previous, board approves. ACTIONS: Daniel send reply STATUS: Pending ITEM: xdc20 Unfortunately one of the two very strong proposals was withdrawn. Board approves the other. Announcement left to organizers for the big fanfares. ACTIONS: Samuel to send out mails. STATUS: Done ITEM: xdc cfp Program is done. Looking for more workshops. Indico seems to work reasonably well. Some cosmetic shuffling around lightning talks still need to be done. Everyone notified, pending 2 confirmations for accepted talks (those presenters are on vacations). Huge thanks to Samuel for running the CFP show. ACTIONS: Collabora needs to send out announcement STATUS: Pending ITEM: xdc19 misc Sponsors looking good. Too many questions about visa invitation letters, need to document that on https://xdc2019.x.org/event/5/page/35-attending-xdc-2019 ACTIONS: Eric/Daniel to keep working with sponsors. ACTIONS: Manasi to work with Collabora to get visa invitation letter process documented. STATUS: Pending ITEM: fd.o admins Some inquiries for paid admin time didn't turn up anything. Not really any further comments. STATUS: Pending
