Hey, Here's the minutes from the relatively brief call we had today. Feel free to follow up with any inaccuracies or comments.
Glynn == Present: Keith, Steve, Glynn, Keith, Jim, Casper, Alan (:10) Regrets: Stephen Hahn Proposed Agenda: Introductions Selection of chair, vice-chair and secretary duties Discussion on regularity of meetings Discussion on 1st face-to-face meeting The current OGB would like to thank the outgoing board for their time, commitment and hard work over the last 2 years. Glynn offered to take meeting minutes for this call, until a Secretary was appointed. Keith objected under section 6.7 of the constitution that this meeting should not be an official OGB meeting because it wasn't open for public participation. Glynn mentioned that the current conference call facilities only had space for 15 ports, and that it might be hard to allocate a port to participants. It was noted that the Sun analyst calls might have a different infrastructure that might be more suited, though no one knew the costs involved. Keith said that standard practice was to discuss confidential issues in a pre-meeting. Rich suggested that we mail contributors/ogb-discuss to ask for a show of hands who might want to listen to these calls. If there was 50-60 people attending, then we might have a problem to solve. Steve suggested that we try it out, and see what happens at the first couple of calls. Casper asked whether there was any facility to webcast the meetings, and then provide a back channel so that any questions could be asked. Glynn said that meetings could be recorded, but didn't know of such a facility. Keith said that recording a call and uploading it afterwards wouldn't meet the requirement. Casper asked whether it was possible to get a set of public and private numbers for a conference call, to allow for the OGB to call in, and then give a number of first to the post numbers for people to use. Glynn suggested that Alan DuBoff might be a good person to ask, because he was thinking of a similar problem with the Silicon Valley user group meetings. All agreed that this shouldn't be an official OGB meeting. Rich suggested that the constitution allowed for an ongoing meeting opportunity, with meetings every Wednesday, provided a notice was given at least 24 hours before that the meeting was going to take place. All agreed that this was a good setup. Alan asked if anyone objected to him updating the current OGB webpages on opensolaris.org. All agreed that this was a good thing to do. Keith proposed that given this wasn't an official OGB meeting, that the meeting should end. The motion was carried and the meeting stopped (:30).
