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.
ACTIONS: Discuss motion to host XDC2021 in Poland next meeting
STATUS: Pending

ITEM: X.org/freedesktop.org domain status
Lyude sent an inquiry to Tim Potter from SPI, who is supposedly looking into
moving SPI's domains from mythic-beasts to gandi.

STATUS: Pending

ITEM: Cloud hosting for freedesktop.org
