GNOME Foundation Meeting Minutes :: 5th July 2007 Present: Anne, Glynn, Jeff (:20), Zana Absent: Quim Regrets: Bedhad, Dave, Vincent
1) Business Development Role We have offered the candidate a position with the GNOME Foundation. Dave has mailed him with a formal job offer, and associated salary offer. Jeff has been trying to organize a time to talk through this with them. ACTION: Zana to forward on a copy of a previous contract that we may be able to use. 2) Foundation Board Agenda All agreed that we should only have a few agenda items, and discuss these through to fine detail with conclusions. Among the possible items are - - Time issues with the existing board members - Business development role and fundraisy - Budget - 6 month plan - Merger of GUADEC and aKademy - More involvement of membership Jeff thinks it's a good idea to ask the Foundation membership for any topics of conversation. ACTION: Jeff to mail foundation-list to see if there are any suggestions for board agenda items. 3) Advisory Board Agenda Glynn mailed out details of the advisory board meeting at GUADEC. So far we have one possible agenda item, GPLv3. Glynn suggested that further agenda items could be generated from the position statements of the various members. Quim commented that if there weren't other items, it might be worthwhile discussing documentation. 4) Foundation Membership Meeting Glynn plans to write a summary of the various action items that we've done throughout the year, and to send out before the meeting. It would be good at this stage to announce our new position. ACTION: Glynn to write up a summary of the various action items and send to foundation-list. _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
