The board waives all formal statutory requirements, or requirements in the foundations articles, or other requirements regarding form and invitation, time limits, and for the topics discussed in this meeting. The call is quorate. >From now on, a quorum can be reached with a simple majority of 4 votes. The meeting commences at 15:05 UTC. It was held partly in public and partly in private as the board saw a need for confidentiality during discussions. The results are now being made public in accordance with our statutes. 1. LibreOffice 4.3 (all) There is a configuration issue in the RC3, LO will not find its spellchecker dictionary under Windows, see #81511. The publication date set by Italo is for the 30th of July. 2. Conference Sophie said that we hope to have the preprogram set and online by next week. The rough number of registrations is between 80/100 Olivier asked about the refunding policy. Thorsten answered that reasonable funding requests (should not wait for the last week before the conference to book and make reservation) from contributors will be taken into account. 3. meeting technology (Thorsten) Thorsten said that there was a friendly sponsoring offer from an open source project with meeting rooms, video, etc. But some experienced some crashes caused by a Flash problem.
