ITEM: VESA status
Lyude was sick all of last week and playing catch up this week, so only now just
sent out some pokes to VESA.
ACTIONS: Wait to hear back from VESA
STATUS: Pending

ITEM: XDC2019 sponsor invoicing
Collabora's invoices are resolved. Liviu is still trying to push the ARM process
forward. Intel process is still completely stalled.
ACTIONS: Eric to continue prodding ARM and Intel
STATUS: Pending

ITEM: CoC Training
Lyude proposed that we mention CoC training somewhere on the
X.org/Freedesktop.org website so that new maintainers can be aware of it.
ACTIONS: Board voted to approve, Lyude to add references to CoC training
somewhere on the website
STATUS: Done

ITEM: XDC2020 Sponsors
Igalia has already paid for XDC2020. Nice!
ACTIONS:

ITEM: Sponsored travel receipts for XDC2019
Some more students sent travel receipts to be reimbursed. One of the students
reimbursement costs don't match what they proposed, so Eric is going to have
them forward more details on their trip costs to the board so we can vote on it
next meeting.
ACTIONS: Vote on receipts for next meeting, Eric to keep poking students for
receipts
STATUS: Pending

ITEM: X.org/freedesktop.org status
Since Lyude was sick, they didn't get a chance to poke SPI about this.

ITEM: LGBT-free zones in Poland
Last February, Poland designated multiple regions in Poland as "Anti-LGBT zones"
"Anti-LGBT zones". This was
brought to the attention of the board by an X.org member.
ACTIONS: Board votes to approve making a public statement condemning
discrimination against the LGBTQA community, talking to our Venue organizers in
Gdansk so that they also make a public statement for the same reason, and
finally to investigate whether continuing to host XDC in Poland would pose a
threat to community members along with arranging for an alternate venue
elsewhere in case we decide that we need to move XDC to a different location for
2020\. Samuel will handle talking with venue organizers about this to determine
the risk level along with talking to previous venues to see if any of them would
be willing to host us (specifically Igalia for now, but possibly others if that
doesn't work). Lyude will handle drafting public statement of condemnation from
X.org.
