Nuritzi has shared a proposal document and budget. * There's been an internal bidding process * The current plan is to have it in Denver, September 6-9th * There's already some funds for LAS GNOME, due to sponsorship packages that have already been agreed * It's projected to run at a profit * ACTION: board members to review the proposal document, with a view to vote at next week's meeting * Request for account deletion in GitLab for a blocked user (Carlos) * Carlos sent an email to board-list with details of this * Carlos is the only GitLab admin. He recently blocked a user for inappropriate behaviour. This means that the user can no longer log in to edit/delete their comments. * The user has subsequently sent a mail demanding that their posts be deleted. The user has made the case that this is their legal right (under Canadian law) and has threatened legal action. * Comments can only be deleted by an admin. * We have a prescedent that we don't delete posts that are stored on GNOME servers. * Allan - why don't we delete posts? Rosanna - data retention policies are part of our staff handbook, and are required for insurance purposes. * Didier - on gnome-fr forums, they offer to anonymise posts rather than deleting them (in order to preserve threads). Cosimo - isn't that what happens when a user account is deleted? Yes. * Cosimo - prefers that people can remove their account rather than deleting posts. Didier agrees with this. Allan is personally in favour but doesn't know what the legal requirements are. * ACTION: Carlos to offer to delete the account and anonymise the posts in the process. * Permission for Rosanna to fly to and attend GUADEC (Nuritzi) * VOTE: approve Rosanna's travel to GUADEC 2018 * +1 unanimous * GUADEC 2019 (Allan) * https://gitlab.gnome.org/Community/Board/issues/51 * The call for bids was announced a while ago, and we haven't received any bids. * If the Foundation provided better support, people might be more willing to hold GUADEC. This is something we should look into. * Can we return to a previous venue? * Can we partner with another organisation? * ACTIONS: do another mail out to foundation-list, go through the list in the issue _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
