Dohh, I saw them so I though they were sent publicly, but this wasn't the case. I don't see why they should be blocked from being public at this point do here they are. ----- Forwarded message from Luis Villa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- > Date: Wed, 14 Sep 2005 08:01:34 -0400 > From: Luis Villa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Advisory Board Meeting Minutes, Aug. 2nd Apologies for getting these out so late. No good reason for it; have taken a mental note never to volunteer for minute taking again :) Attendance: GNOME Foundation Board: Owen Taylor Jonathan Blandford David Neary Luis Villa Murray Cumming Tim Ney (Executive Director) Representing Nokia:Carlos Guerreiro Representing Novell: Nat Friedman, Robert M. Love Representing Sun: John Rice Regrets: Stormy Peters Absent: Daniel Veillard Federico Mena-Quintero Christian Schaller Murray Cumming on release process: * basically frozen for 2.12 * pending improvements: nautilus, clipboard improvements, cairo- more in http://live.gnome.org/ReleasesNotes2p12Items * Luis Villa mentioned that Novell/SuSE are helping with 2.11 QA for the first time, which is very welcome. This is along with 'traditional' unstable branch assistance from Ubuntu and Fedora. Groups/companies who want to assist with QA of the unstable branch should contact Luis ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) or the bug team ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Owen Taylor on Foundation Activities: * Trademark: trademark licenses are being finalized * Finalizing GUADEC 2006 plans: (27th May->31st May) Tim Ney and Christian Schaller have been working with the regional hosts in Barcelona. This will be the first time GUADEC is co-located (with a large Catalan software congress). Should hopefully have an agreement with local schools to use GNOME by the time we are there. Nat asks: why are we not doing this for 9 days, like KDE? Tim mentions Summit, and difficulties of ramping up gradually. Facilities have been offered through the 4th, so we might be able to extend it some. Havoc Pennington notes that the emphasis on the KDE conference was heavily on actual code writing, which is different from GUADEC. Nat pushes for mini hack-fest post GUADEC. * 3 days of actual development * one day of presentations of what was done. David Neary discusses Formal GNOME store: * getting there, all pieces in place except stuck on contract negotiation/lawyers Marketing (presented by Murray Cumming): Lots of activity here lately. Marketing group would like more involvement from the ad board members, which would be beneficial for everyone. Some needs: * need specific customer stories/details from the companies- would like folks to see and add to http://live.gnome.org/MarketingTeam/GnomeDeployments * would like funding for boxes of shippable supplies to help present ourselves better at conferences: see http://live.gnome.org/MarketingTeam/EventsOrganisation/GnomeEventBox * would like feedback on current target markets for ad board members, so that marketing team can help tailor messages to those groups * Luis Villa mentions the OSDW (osdw.org), and suggests that something similar for ISVs be discussed at the next ad board meeting. * Some posters have been done here: http://www.aracnet.com/~sri/ Trademarks: * Discussion of Trademark policy for distros and software Summit: * Boston summit, second weekend of October (8th-10th) * performance mini-summit- is summit right place for it? will this help companies justify sending people? Luis takes an action to sketch this into the outline schedule. * Robert Love (Novell), Sun would like to spend time on performance * more information here: http://live.gnome.org/Boston2005 -- Daniel Veillard | Red Hat Desktop team http://redhat.com/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] | libxml GNOME XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ http://veillard.com/ | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/ _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
