Well, it seems this isn't needed for election (see http://lists.spi-inc.org/pipermail/spi-announce/2010/000221.html ) but I've had a few nice words (thank you), so I'll finish this batch at least and see where I am.
HIGHLIGHTS [item 1, Opening] <Ganneff> Welcome to today's Software in the Public Interest board of directors meeting, which is now called to order. Today's agenda and details of pending resolutions can be found on the web at: http://www.spi-inc.org/secretary/agenda/2010/2010-04-14.html [item 2, Roll Call] 21:03:30 <Ganneff> Joerg Jaspert 21:03:31 <cdlu> David Graham 21:03:32 <Noodles> Jonathan McDowell 21:03:34 <Hydroxide> Jimmy Kaplowitz 21:03:37 <zobel> Martin Zobel-Helas 21:04:19 <luk__> Luk Claes 21:06:41 <schultmc> Michael Schultheiss [item 3, President's Report] <Ganneff> No bdale, no report [item 5, Secretary's report] <Noodles> I have nothing to report. [item 6, Outstanding minutes] results for "Meeting minutes for 10th March, 2010": Yes: 5, Abstain: 2 [item 4, Treasurer's Report] <schultmc> standard report is in the agenda. click and pledge has changed our account setup so we now get ACH direct deposits of donations 2-3 days after they're donated rather than waiting for a check once per month. we'll still get 1-2 more checks but donations will primarily be deposited much faster. That makes their data no harder or easier to integrate into treasurer's reports than present [item 7, Any other business] <Noodles> Please reply to my most recent mail on -board. ;) <cdlu> Noodles, I don't believe we have any precedent to grant money to projects that are not member projects however our projects are free to do so with their money. if they'd like to apply to be an associated project and raise money that we hold on to they're welcome to do that. <Noodles> As long as that's how others see it I can reply and say as much. <cdlu> Ganneff, just a reminder that the election is coming up soon [item 8, Next board meeting] <Ganneff> Next board meeting: May 19th, 2010, 20:00 UTC 21:16:56 <Ganneff> *GAVEL* TIMED LOG 21:03:26 <Ganneff> *GAVEL* 21:03:26 <Ganneff> [item 1, Opening] Welcome to today's Software in the Public Interest board of directors meeting, which is now called to order. 21:03:26 <Ganneff> Today's agenda and details of pending resolutions can be found on the web at: http://www.spi-inc.org/secretary/agenda/2010/2010-04-14.html 21:03:26 <Ganneff> [item 2, Roll Call] 21:03:26 <Ganneff> Board members, please state your name for the record.
