Representations: None. Chairman of the Board is in the call. One of the Chairman or Deputy is required to be present or represented for having a quorate call. The Board of Directors at time of the call consists of 7 seat holders without deputies. In order to be quorate, the call needs to have 1/2 of the Board of Directors members, which gives 4. A total of 6 Board of Directors members or their representatives are attending the call. 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 15:10 UTC. It was held 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. Extending Christian Lohmaier's work contract TDF needs more fixed time for web development and developer-related tasks, and the board sees Christian Lohmaier as ideal candidate. In previous talks, he already has been willing to work for more hours, extending his current 20 hours per week contract. Proposal: From September 1st, or the earliest possible date thereafter, extend Christian Lohmaiers work contract. Leave the end of contract the same as it is now, but extend the current working hours with the same hourly salary, by 80%. Result of vote: Consensus approval (6 out of 6) Jesus Corrius as deputy, not representing anyone during the call, voted +1 (non-binding). 2. Prolonging Florian Effenberger's work contract TDF has an ongoing demand for infrastructure administration, and the board - with the exception of Florian - wants to prolongue Florian's contract up to a date when the new board is in place and can decide further. Proposal: Prolongue Florian's work contract as-is until May 31st, 2014. Result of vote: 5 approvals, 1 (Florian) abstaining, 0 disapprovals. Approved. Jesus Corrius as deputy, not representing anyone during the call, voted +1 (non-binding). 3. Discuss trademark use of Joel Madero for printing t-shirts Joel Madero has approached the board to get permission to use the LibreOffice trademark for printing t-shirts. The board took notice about that effort, approves of it, and notes that under the existing trademark policy he may use the logo (without the TDF tagline) to print and sell t-shirts. The meeting adjournes at 18:30 UTC.
