Items discussed
ITEM: Thanks for Bentiss To thank Benjamin for all of their work, the board agreed to help expense a thank you dinner for them. Thanks for all of your hard work ACTIONS: STATUS: Done ITEM: Officer confirmation/ledger data We welcomed our new treasurer, Emma Anholt! Additionally, some discussion was had around timing concerns with sponsor invoicing, along with the board voting to allow SPI to handle keeping track of ledgers instead of doing it ourselves. ACTIONS: STATUS: Done ITEM: X.org/freedesktop.org domain status No updates here ACTIONS: STATUS: Pending ITEM: XDC2021 invoices status Tabled to next meeting. ACTIONS: STATUS: Pending ITEM: XDC2021 Samuel wrote up a blog post as both a summary of the conference and a kind of "thank you" card to organizers: https://blogs.igalia.com/siglesias/2021/09/24/X.Org-Developers-Conference-2021/ Feeback was that media.ccc.de was very well received and people appreciated having a privacy-friendly open source platform alternative for following the talks. One suggestion to convert XDC to a hybrid conference, because of carbon footprint and such. A few complaints about the schedule but I think we did our best, since moving the schedule around would have been far too difficult. The board also approved a budget to treat the XDC2021 organizers to a meal! ACTIONS: STATUS: Done ITEM: XDC2022 Publically announced, no other updates. ACTIONS: STATUS: Done ITEM: GSoC/Outreachy/EVoC No updates ACTIONS: STATUS: ITEM: MIPI Alliance and CSI No updates ACTIONS: Lyude hopes to make time for this in the near future STATUS: Done
