Abstain: Nuritzi, Alexandre. Passed. * ACTION: Allan to notify the members (done) * ACTION: Allan to update the committees wiki page (done) * URGENT - LuNel/Odoo development cost (Neil) * This has been on the agenda for a few weeks and has become urgent. Neil - GnuCash is difficult to use and loses our financial data. We've been trialing Odoo. It has an enterprise/community split model (where enterprise is proprietary and community is Free Software). Something we're missing is the ability to import Paypal. We've been talking to a company about adding this feature to the community edition for us. They've been very helpful so far, and they supportive. * The choice is between this and using a proprietary solution. Any code that's written will be Free Software. * Neil - there's scope in the budget for this. We'll have a contract with them. * VOTE: approve $4,000 USD for a module that imports Paypal data into Odoo * +1 unanimous - approved * AGM video recording and streaming (Allan) * Kat has emailed the board asking whether we are happy for the AGM to be live streamed * We're happy for it to be streamed * ACTION: Allan to reply (done) * Cosimo - it would be good if we can have a way for people to participate in the AGM if they're joining online. e.g. an IRC channel where they can ask questions * GUADEC 2018 legal and financial arrangements - https://gitlab.gnome.org/Community/Board/issues/56 (Allan) * There were some outstanding questions here, but it's been dealt with. * Librem 5 Development Kits (Allan) * We've had an email about how to organise the distribution of Librem 5 development kits to the community. * We don't have great systems for tracking hardware donations, so it might be easier for Purism to handle this themselves. We can send them a list of people if they need it, though. * ACTION: Allan to reply (done) * New board handover timeline (Allan) * The new board comes into power as soon as the vote is finalised - this will be next week. Their first meeting will be at GUADEC. * ACTION: Allan to email the likely new board members with details of the transition (done) * Board and AdBoard meeting prep (Nuritzi) * ACTION: Nuritzi to email the advisory board to encourage them to prepare presentations. * ACTION: Allan to ask incoming board members to confirm if they'll be there (done). There's an initial outline on the wiki. * GUADEC 2019 follow-up (Nuritzi) * We've receive an intention to bid. We ought to give them some indication of our expectations. We ought to try and announce GUADEC 2019 by mid-August. Rough deadline for bids can therefore be August 6th. * ACTION: Didier to contact them (done) _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
