I'll also check informally with the GTK team members before answering the email. * We received another email notifying about royalties from Gabor Kum EV for GNOME-branded merchandise. * Philip: Is there a way to publicize that trademark licensing questions should go to the staff instead of the board? * Neil: Trademark questions should indeed not go to the board; they should go directly to licens...@gnome.org, which is redirected to the staff list. It may be that people are using the wrong address. * Expectations for board around hiring * Allan: Are we expected to formally welcome new hires in a meet-the-board gathering, as part of their onboarding? * No. Better to informally meet them at, say, FOSDEM or other conferences. * FOSDEM advisory board meeting * Nuritzi: Is the board preparing any presentation for the advisory board meeting at FOSDEM? * Neil: Traditionally not, it's only a half day as opposed to a full day at GUADEC. I will prepare a presentation. * Neil: Those attending the advisory board meeting at FOSDEM, please fill in the Framadate poll so we can pick a time for the meeting.
