Items discussed
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: STATUS: Pending 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. ACTIONS: Lyude to poke SPI about this STATUS: Pending ITEM: Requesting ledger data from SPI Since Lyude was sick, they didn't get a chance to poke SPI about this. ACTIONS: Lyude to poke SPI about this STATUS: Pending 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. STATUS: Pending
