ACTIONS: STATUS: Pending ITEM: XDC2020 We currently only have four talks, and the CFP is at midnight on Sunday. The XDC2020 organizers in Poland confirmed they're able to handle a virtual conference as well. As such, the board has voted to approve the motion to host XDC2020 virtually. Additionally, the board has also voted to approve the motion to extend the CFP for XDC by two weeks. A third motion was presented to discuss moving the in-person XDC for this year into 2021 so that Intel still has a chance to host XDC in Poland, but the board consensus is to delay this decision until next board meeting.
