Items discussed
ITEM: X.org/freedesktop.org domain status No updates here yet ACTIONS: STATUS: Pending ITEM: Requesting ledger data Received an update from SPI (without having to poke them!) saying that they've looking into providing ledger reports now. Additionally, they sent us the treasurer's report for X.org for 2020. ACTIONS: STATUS: Pending ITEM: XDC2021 invoices status Danvet has been pinging potential sponsors, we got Khronos confirmed again as a sponsor ACTIONS: Danvet to keep poking STATUS: Pending ITEM: GSoC/EVoC/Outreachy Lyude finally had a chance to send out an email about this yesterday, waiting for responses (hopefully) now ACTIONS: STATUS: Pending ITEM: XDC2021 invoices status/XDC2021 sponsors Linux Foundation and Khronos Sponsorship confirmed, Manasi requested an invoice for Krhonos, and poked Intel on creating a PO after which they can be invoiced by SPI. ACTIONS: Manasi will request an invoice from the Linux Foundation earlier today, Daniel to keep poking sponsors. STATUS: Pending ITEM: XDC2021 Closed the CFP after extending it for a couple of days, and finally got enough talks to cover the three days of the conference. We got some very cool talks this year by the way! We received a total of 16 full-slot talks and 8 half-slot talks. On top of that we received 2 workshops, 3 lightning talks, and 0 demos at this moment. We still welcome submissions for lightning talks and demos! CFP committee is almost done reviewing the talks. The plan is to finish reviewing all talks by this week, and next week we can start accepting talks together while preparing the final version of the program. Organizers are finishing up the speakers document as well, which we will hopefully send together with the acceptance of the talks. Other things about the conference: organizers are still testing big blue internally. they are still undecided if jitsi+youtube like last year would be better, or if we should use big blue button. Samuel will also be off for the whole month of august on vacation, so Lyude will be taking over responding to XDC questions from presenters for them during this time. ACTIONS: STATUS: Pending ITEM: XDC2022 No updates ACTIONS: STATUS: Pending ITEM: HDMI 2.1 No update from the HDMI consortium on this yet ACTIONS: STATUS: Pending ITEM: Sharing of non-redistributable game traces within X.org members SPI didn't think that they could do anything that would make the process of getting people to sign NDAs any easier, so we're proceeding with enabling closed traces on a driver team basis with responsible members of those teams having access. ACTIONS: STATUS: Done ITEM: Equinix meeting Skipped this since Mark is on vacation ACTIONS: STATUS: Pending
