That's about correct as otherwise you would have seen the same item being placed under the Completed actions section of the minutes. That said when I was poked at about this topic I suggested the use of a git repository accessible by a specific LDAP group with an encrypted passwords file having as recipients the keys of the engagement team members interested in it. While the idea looked fine at first we had delays having everyone generating their own GPG key and the item got stuck. With Allan on the Board the item should be finally marked as resolved anytime soon :-) * Karen to draft a proposal for the photography policy at GNOME conferences to discuss on foundation-list Can we have a summary of the substance of this policy? I understand it takes time to write such a document, but I guess you already know the general direction you are taking this into. I'm not aware of any progress on this item and I'm honestly not sure the policy draft was ever started this last year. It's been a crazy year and the lack of an ED didn't help on this side. We will surely discuss how to properly re-assign each of these pending action items at GUADEC. * Tobi to continue pursuing the fund collection in Europe Now that we have WHS, what's left to do? Actually nothing and on this side we started discussing a possible solution to manage pending and completed action items in a more efficient way as it's clear the process needs some automation. How it works right now requires the secretary having to copy the action items in two places at the end of every meeting: 1. from the minutes to the pending action items area 2. from the minutes to our tasks system based on Kanboard The process requires time and manual intervention on each of the above explained steps, thus the need to find a better plan asap.

Reg. that particular action item: Nothing. It should have been removed. In the future, we will need to find ways to efficiently work together when it comes to getting a balance, requesting funds, or obtaining donation certificates.

This is an old item from quite a while ago. Back when I was working on it, I decided that a private Git account probably wasn't the best approach. Some progress has been made though: we now have a page that lists contacts and owners for each of our social media channels, for example [1]. Since joining the board, I have discussed this action item with Kat and am planning to chase up the remaining aspects of the task. It is my understanding that the board will be reviewing these old outstanding action items at GUADEC, with a view to clearing out the list.
