Unfortunately one of the two very strong proposals was withdrawn.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.
