The call is quorate. >From now on, a quorum can be reached with a simple majority of 4 votes. The meeting commences at 16:04 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. 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. Joel was also asking (with Jared agreeing) to have specific information on the TDF/LibreOffice pages to encourage volunteers in other geographies to setup similar shops.
