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.

Public part === 1. BugZilla migration Florian said that the BZ migration is in CW 3, or if that fails, second half of CW 2 (from January 7 on), for the concrete date we await Tollef's feedback, whom Robinson will ping . He asked Christian about possible conflict with the release schedule, but Christian has no hard feeling about RC1. Bjoern said it would not be good while in .0, but after it is ok. 2. Events/upcoming Hackfests Bjoern will organize the next hackfest in Gran Canaria while Fridrich will take care of the one taking place during Fosdem. Bjoern explained that we have contacts with Gran Canaria university that need to be followed up for the next GSoC. He is planing for March, and there is an opportunity for Cambridge in May. Thorsten suggested that a Board meeting should take place around Fosdem. 3. Merchandizing store Florian presented Jared Contrascere from LibreTees and his merchandising shop. The merchandising store needed a trademark license, Florian just received the proposal back few minutes before the call. Jared is ready to go on his side, he will involve the Marketing and Design projects and will inform on the progress. The Board thanks him for his work. Everyone agreed to have some wording on the site explaining that there is no exclusivity.

[board-discuss] Bod minutes from 2014-09-01
Hi, Please find below the minutes of the Board meeting on 2014-09-01 This message is to be archived by the BoD and its deputies Sophie Minutes 2014-09-02 The Document Foundation In-person Board of Directors Meeting Meeting Minutes Date: Tuesday, September 2nd, 2014, 08:10 UTC (10:10 local Bern time) Location: Bern University Session chair: Thorsten Behrens (Chairman of the Board) Keeper of the minutes: Sophie Gautier Participants: Thorsten Behrens (Chairman of the Board), Michael Meeks (Board of Directors), Björn Michaelsen (Board of Directors), Fridrich Strba (Board of Directors), Joel Madero (Board of Directors), Adam Fyne (Board of Directors), Norbert Thiebaud (Deputy Board of Directors), Andreas Mantke (Deputy Board of Directors), Eike Rathke (Deputy Board of Directors), Florian Effenberger (Executive Director), Mike Schinagl (legal counsel), Sophie Gautier, Charles Schulz The meeting commences at 08:10 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. Welcome and introduction The Chairman welcomes the attendees of the meeting. He outlines that this is the formal annual meeting required by the Foundation's statutes. The agenda has been published in advance, with no further additions or change requests received. 2. Formal invitation, representation and quorum The Chairman points out that the invitation was formally correct and in time, as per § 9 I of the Foundation's statutes. Eike Rathke representing Eliane Domingos de Sousa. Chairman of the Board is in the meeting. One of the Chairman or Deputy is required to be present or represented for having a quorate meeting. The Board of Directors at time of the meeting consists of 7 seat holders without deputies. In order to be quorate, the meeting needs to have 1/2 of the Board of Directors members, which gives 4. A total of 7 Board of Directors members or their representatives are attending the meeting. Therefore, the meeting is quorate. From now on, a quorum can be reached with a simple majority of 4 votes. 3. Overview of past activities, finances and budget for 2014 Thorsten hands over to Florian for a presentation of the past activities, finances and budget for 2014, which has been sent to the members of the Board in advance. Key items and proposals from Florian's presentation are: - QA bits and organization of bug hunting sessions should at least partially be shifted from Sophie to Robinson now that we have a QA engineer, so Sophie gets time for certification tasks. - Björn proposed to have board members with their individual areas of interest (as per the rules of procedure) added to respective tickets in Redmine. - Florian proposed that TDF paid staff should invest a certain part of their paid time in community involvement and representation of TDF/LibreOffice. Reason is that while the developer community is growing strong, other communities struggle more, with better coordination and communication required. - LibreOffice Conference organization was a success, but TDF should compare participant numbers and organization with other entities. Some time/financial investment might be required for future conferences. Worktime required solely from TDF side is between one and two months per conference. For future conferences, we should more directly approach community members to join, and explain reimbursement options. - Christian should work together with Robinson on QA bits, now that we have a QA engineer. He should also train Robinson and Alex to act as stand-in for the release process in case he is away. - TDF should make more use of the head association of foundations, by participating in their activities and do networking. They provide very valuable resources, can help with networking, fund raising and marketing, and we don't make enough use of that at the moment. - Björn proposed to draft future PR texts in Redmine, for easier translation and version control, as we still have too few community translations. - A few budget items have so far neither been taken, nor given enough feedback for execution. Those are: - Promote/explain interoperability fixes - BSA in other languages - awards for volunteers With the new budget in the works, those items should be removed if the situation hasn't changed by then. - For the budget, Florian proposes to only approve larger items and build budget groups for the rest. In addition, some provisioned budgets should be folded together to unblock reserves. Also, an administrative budget with 7.500 € should be set up, and NLC projects should be asked for concrete (!) funding and project proposals to be considered for the next budgeting round. - The board agreed with Florian's recommendation to keep a conservative spending/investment approach. - The donation confirmation process is a manual one and costs a lot of time. Mike proposed to

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 15:08 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.Certification status update Italo said that the website is under construction and should be ready by the end of this week for an announcement next week to the TDF members list. This will open for them the possibility to apply for certification. The site contains 2 pages: already certified people and documents (presentation of the protocol, how-to, QA, history of the project). The already certified members will have to sign the certification agreement. The certification process is split in todos that will be different if applying for migration (Europe) or deployment (US). Certification committee will read and approve the document filled, then a meeting (could be virtual) with 3 committee members to approve or explain rejection will take place. Certification should be done carefully because it means that certified are ambassadors of the project. The agreement is a text binding the person to TDF in term of responsibility. Some members are already well known for their training or migrating skills and filling the documents should be only a formality for them. The board will make a collective call to collect their name and provide a list end of May and certified them by the end of June. 2.LibOCon status update Sophie said the number of papers is growing but slowly. The final date will be extended by the end of the month. Michael suggested to add the possibility of short talks and training talks to the announcement. He also recommended to announce the extension one day after the closing date. Bjoern confirmed that last year he accepted short talks very late in the process. Sophie said that Florian together with Italo will provide sponsors contact to the Bern team once the sponsor package ready. The conference organization is going smoothly and we are on track there. The call terminated at 15:30 UTC Attending at the end of the call: Thorsten Behrens, Eliane Domingos de Sousa, Michael Meeks, Fridrich Strba, Bjoern Michaelsen, Adam Fyne, Joel Madero, Norbert Thiebaud, Eike Rathke, Italo Vignoli, Sophie Gautier.

The results are now being made public in accordance with our statutes. ===Public part:=== 1. AskBot tasks and budget Proposal: Florian proposes to approve an additional budget of 4.000 €, dedicated to feature implementation and languages support improvements. This tops up the AskBot budget to a new total amount of 6.540 €, including all taxes. Payment and ordering of tasks will happen one after another, handled by Florian.

Travel reports Florian proposed to amend our official travel refunding policy, to ask every attendee for a short travel report. As the policy needs to be adjusted anyways, Florian will make a proposal and send it to the board for consideration. 3.

He will draft a text and send it to the board for consideration. 4. LibOCon update The organization is working nicely, with about 20 tasks assigned and distributed via Redmine.

Representation: Eike Rathke representing Fridrich Strba 5. Vendor branches The purpose was to have the sources in a git branch and give a restricted access to it via gerrit. However, this is resolved differently now. 6. State of accounting Thorsten asks Florian about the state of accounting. He informs that all documents - except the payroll so far - have been handed over to the accountant, and we now wait for his feedback. Basically, the process is running now. 7. Forum Joel asks about the kind of support we can provide for forums. The board agrees that infra can provide a VM, but no ongoing moderation or software maintenance, beyond security updates. The board asks interested volunteers to step up, and is happy to sponsors things from the infra/VM side, should there be critical mass. The decision (and execution, besides the infra part) should happen inside the community.

[board-discuss] L10n QA budget request
Hi all, If you feel this request is copied from somebody, you're totally right :) Request for budget == Rationale - Last year, the QA team successfully installed and tweaked the Moztrap [1] QA tool to fit the needs of manual tests on beta and RC versions of LibreOffice. This tool has been first developed for the Mozilla [2] community needs. To complete the tool usage, it needs now to be made fully localized (UI + content) in order to serve the l10n and NLP communities. This will allow the l10n teams to have tests in their language dedicated to new features where new strings are introduced during the beta/RC release cycle. The QA members of NLPs will be able to run the tests in their language very early with a possibility for the team lead to manage and store these tests over the versions. That will allow more people to test the versions and also more people to join the community and participate without technical skills required. The currently proposed solution won't work because too difficult to access/manage for non English speakers. Request --- One month/man. The request have to be completed by Petr or YiFan because I can't find the mail again (sorry) but last we discussed this I recall for one month/man to achieve the localization capabilities of Moztrap.

[board-discuss] Nominate myself to MC elections
Hi all, I would like to nominate myself for a seat to the Membership Committee elections. I've been a member of this committee from its beginning and that would be a pleasure for me to have the opportunity to continue the mission I had in it. I was one of the founding member of The Document Foundation and I still participate to several parts of the project. I localize LibreOffice in French, write documentation and recently worked at gathering more people in the French speaking community, inviting them to participate more on QA and Documentation. My aim for the next months, out of working with the Membership Committee, will be to grow the overall community and improve the communication between the language communities and the different areas of the overall project.

[board-discuss] Resignation from the Membership Committee
Now that TDF is fully established, It is time to perform the final step of the bootstrap process and to have a membership-elected MC. I that spirit, I hereby resign from the Membership Committee.

But, as far as communication with the MC, for membership purpose, I do not want to put the burden on the MC to find translator to be able to handle request in any languages. I see it similar - the main and primary language of the MC, for internal as well as external communication should be English, and it's not the MC's duty to find translators. Of course, looking at the current composition of the MC, we have members inside who speak German, Dutch and French at least, so if they would volunteer to act as gateway, that would be appreciated. Of course, I know you all are busy as many active TDF members, so getting in externals for that task is also worthwile. I would suggest that the burden to find such proxy is on the applicant... and that is actually an exhibit of proper interaction with the community. Agreed. I think you didn't get me right. The purpose of the language communities is to provide information about the overall project and help all the members, whatever the language, feel at home and happy to participate and contribute. There is no burden on any sides, it's inside the language communities that the exchange and help should take place to bridge with the other parts, should it be the MC, the board, the documentation or the design part. What we need is some abilities to provide localization (like in QA or on the wiki) in order to inform and attract a large variety of members, but if the communication goes well, membership committee will never be concerned by translating applications. Again, that's exactly the purpose and the aim of the language communities. Kind regards Sophie

From a practical stand-point, the only actual prerogative of members is their ability to vote for BoD and MC. How could one make an educated decision as to whom to vote for without basic understanding of who the candidates are and what they stand for, hence, in most case, without understanding of basic English ? This is what language communities are supposed to do : give those who don't speak English a chance to be part of the project. We can't rely only on English speaking people to grow the community and represent it every where in the world. This is why settling each of our actions on an i18n point of view first is very important. 2. Not all supporters are active in a way that they feel like applying form membership. > the idea 'supportive membership' has been mentioned before. Has it been discussed too? I'm not sure what that means... can you elaborate ? a recognition also for those who don't fall in our meritocratic criteria or don't want to sign for our charter while participating to the project in other or more external ways.

Re: [steering-discuss] draft: timeline for BoD elections
On 04/07/2011 21:16, André Schnabel wrote: Hi, as the SC is obligated to end it's existence, we need to think about BoD elections. ah, it's a pleasure :) According to our bylaws we have only one fixed period to consider: we need to announce the elections 45 days in advance. But I think, we need to have some more milestones in the process. Your timeline is ok for me. The period between 18 and 4 will be somewhat complicated for me, but I hope we're not only we 3 on that. A rough draft for a time line might look like this: -4518.07.11Announce elections prepare infrastructure document election process details ... -2804.08.11freeze membership applications -2705.08.11start nomination, introduction of nominees discussion with nominees ... -329.08.11publish final list of nominees 001.09.11Start of elections elections running +1415.09.11elections closed counting votes, +1718.09.11publish result time to appeal +2223.09.11publish final result I hope, this gives almost all of our members the chance to take part in the elections (given the fact, that we have summer vacation time at the northern hemisphere). +1 There is not much room to shift the elections or to have longer periods. Unless we keep the SC in place for some weeks more - e.g. until our conference - but I would not prefer to do so. me too, I would like to see our engagement respected. We should also not start much earlier, as we still need to have the legal statutes for the foundation. We should have a "very close to final draft" of the statutes before we call for nominations.
