Previous meeting minutes are published. The call is quorate. >From now on, a quorum can be reached with a simple majority of 3 votes. The meeting commences at 13:30 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. Research project Benjamin said that mobile office works pretty bad in regard of accessibility, it could be a physical pain to use in transports, etc. The project will improve the usage with augmented reality via smartglasses based on LO viewer for Android. The request is to have TDF as an associated partner. There will be no cost for the foundation but an availability to answer technical details on implementation. The board answers that the only problem they see in the proposal is the huge code dump at the end of the project. The board proposed to do incremental small steps which integrate smoothly and to follow the community process by interacting closely with the developers. Proposal: TDF to be an associated partner (given there are no obligation, as we can't do development direction) Vote: 5 out of 5 quorum Decision: Approval on TDF acting as an associated partner of the project. Benjamin will come back later with documents on the process, timeframe, etc. 2. Grant requests: * Business fair Proposal: the board agrees on the 6.500 € grant request for the IT and business fair by Ellen Pape and Thomas Krumbein. Vote: 5 out of 5 quorum Decision: Grant request approved. Florian will follow-up on the list. * LO project Dashboard Vote is deferred to e-mail.
