k thanks

i've created a Doodle meeting poll about changing of the meeting time: http://www.doodle.com/78h7fdwriqtzqs79

hey guys

hello

just FYI ... my internet connection is on the fritz

so I'll have disconnects / reconnects

oh poo - I was supposed to email the agenda the *night* before

http://typewith.me/WR6mmFq3jN

yep

me, you, florian and will

I pinged Jack

I think you have a quorum

3 of 5

coolness

will give jack a couple more minutes

ok

anyone have anything to add to the agenda

well, we need to have a membership meeting to vote on people who have applied or re-applied, and hold yearly elections for the Board and the Council

nope

that means we need to email the members about board/council candidates

and probably recruit people to stand for election

my hunch is that this will be a straw poll on how active the current member base is

bear: good point

yeah

k, shall we bang the gavel and proceed?

I think so

I pinged Jack via email so he might not have noticed

agenda bashing - anything else to add?

not from me

nope

k, board meeting changes - did we decide on weekly or bi?

+1 for weekly

WFM

k, let me draft an email to the board list to confirm weekly is ok

it would seem that not changing the time makes sense if it's weekly

as that allows for a council+board double-play

I don't have a strong preference on the time

nod

the current times WFM

k, then i will just get my shit squared off and make it WFM

heh

k, should we draft in the typewithme notes an email now about membership meeting - or will the secretary handle it?

eh, who does it usually? the Secretary, no?

yes

I can ping Alex

I wasn't involved last time... oh cool - so we just need to formally say so?

does he also handle the candidate request?

for Board and Council?

yes

those are posted on the wiki

so we need to create a 2012 Board and Council page?

yes

yup

ok, last item - charter/rule changes

http://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Board_and_Council_Elections

\o/

2011 elections :)

not 2012

hmm

well right

looks like something we need to wait for Alex on anyways

so rule changes, what discussion is needed by the board for that?

http://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Board_and_Council_Elections_2011

hmm

the rules about missed votes are slighly vague

if there's a desire to change them, then I think we need a statement from the Board, or a change to the Bylaws

has anyone notified us that they want to make that change?

no, just vague rumblings -- perhaps we should start a thread about it on the members@ list

bear: I'll cc you on my email to Alex

ok, I'll email members about getting consensus after lunch

if you haven't seen one by EOD please do poke me

great :)

I just pinged Alex

anything else on this topic or the others?

not from my side

I don't think so

will was quiet, but i'm going to take that as a sign that we have done well with the meeting and not that he got distracted by work

;)

heh

hehe

thanks all - I'll send the minutes in a bit

awesome

thanks all

thanks guys

minutes and notice about meeting change sent

I was intending to be back, but was running late. Gentle poke to Board about the books.

when we will vote Q3 Members Applications?

At the end of Q3, I would assume.

October/November ?

I would guess start of Oct, but it's just a guess.

ok thanks

I pinged Alex about that earlier today

stpeter: ok
