Thanks for the congratulations (and thanks for the confidence, the other
MC members expressed with that).

But - there is no right and just one duty bound to this formal role ;)

Anyway, the BoD needs to elect a chairperson and a deputy chair as well
(we need this for the legal setup). I'll open a new thread for that.

regards,

André

[board-discuss] Electing a BoD chairperson and it's deputy

[André Schnabel]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Dear Board members,

according to the current draft of the foundation's legal statutes (as
proposed to the German authorities), the foundation's board shall elect
a chairperson and the chairperson's deputy among the board's members.

In short - these will be the primary legal representatives of the
foundation. While having no special power, legal contracts need to be
signed by one of the board members together with either the chairperson
or it's deputy. ( Beyond that, the board can decide to give procuration
to individual board members.)

As we are going to file the papers really soon, I'd ask the board
members to elect

Florian Effenberger  as chairman of the board
and
   Thorsten Behrens as his deputy.

During the board elections Florian and Thorsten were the candidates who
reached the highest vote rank. Florian is for sure one of our most
active members doing great work in marketing, is coordinating our admin
team and did lots of preparations for the legal setup of the foundation.
Thorsten is well known and accepted among developers (and not only there
;) ), and also helped a lot preparing the legal setup of the foundation.

I think, my suggestions in the interest of the board members and all our
TDF members.
(If not, time to object is right now ;) )


Thanks and regards,

André

Hi,

Alexander Werner wrote on 2011-12-01 16:08:

as it was missed during the yesterdays BoD-call to constitute the
quorum, I hereby ask the BoD to decide on the following topic:


for future meetings, we should write "quorum yes/no" in the minutes. 
Missed remembering that yesterday as well. :-)



Should the translation of the askbot project be supported by creating a
project on our pootle server and permitting the developers of askbot
access to the project. Our l10n teams are then asked to contribute to
the translation of aksbot.


If this is technically doable: +1

File to translate is this one:

https://raw.github.com/ASKBOT/askbot-devel/common-question-view/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/django.po

It is doable.

I also would like to say that I am OK to offer our resources, time and 
knowledge to projects we are benefiting from (e.g.AskBot). But not to 
host any project that call for the same resources if we don't use it, or 
if TDF does not foster it.

Re: [board-discuss] Support of the askbot translation process

[Charles-H. Schulz]

+1 to let volunteers translate askbot. We could perhaps insert a clause
here that would require a simple reevaluation in one year from now?

Best,
Charles.
