bearhttp://typewith.me/1kLLdjuejq
bearyes
Floriancools
bearand possible discuss quarterly meeting results
stpetersure
bearbut I couldn't remember if the board needed to do anything official or not
bearif not then that agenda item is very fast: "see Alex's email"
stpetersee email from Alex, yes
beark, done! next item ...
stpeterthe Secretary takes care of that
Will:)
stpeterright
stpeterlast year the Board and Council elections were held in mid-October
bearif we announce it now, that gives a good 30(ish) days of notice
WillAny reason not to do the same this year?
stpeterlooks up the date from last year
stpeterWill: right, we usually aim for just about 12 months later
bearno reason to not do the same IMO
stpeterlast year it was 2010-10-25
Florianshould we do the same?
stpeterMonday the 25th last year
bearmonday would be the 24th this year
Florianthis year it would be a Tuesday
stpeterAlex made the Quarterly meeting a Tuesday
Florianor that
stpeterso Tuesday the 25th (2011) seems fine
beark
Floriansounds good
stpeterwe can confirm with Alex on the members@ list
Will+1
stpeternow the big question is how do we recruit people to volunteer for these thankless roles :)
stpeterespecially for the Board, we usually need to poke people about serving
Willbribery?
bearexcept for the chance of Kev hunting me down, I would love to have the chance to serve again
bearI need to atone for a very absent role of GSoC admin
Florianhas left
Florianhas joined
stpeterFlorian is running for his life :)
Floriansorry about that ... back now
bearhahaha
FlorianI'd love to run again too
stpeterI have someone in mind to poke at Cisco who might be able to serve on the Board, and one other person I chatted with recently who works for a small company that is doing a lot of XMPP work and might become a sponsor
bearcool
Floriancool :)
bearhas anyone asked the people from &yet?
stpeterI haven't, but I could for sure
Florianah, that might be a neat idea
bearyea, Andy would be a great person
Florianindeed
bearthat fritzy dude, i'm not sure about tho ... ;)
Florianlol
stpeteryeah!
Willnew blood would be a very good idea I think
stpeteras always
Florianbear: s/Andy/Adam?
bearah - adam
bearI woke up like 5 minutes before the meeting - morning caffeine has not been found yet
stpeterAlex said he will update http://xmpp.org/about-xmpp/xsf/xsf-member-list/ soon, at which point we can ping people about serving on the Council, too
beark
Floriansounds good
stpetersees some likely suspects
stpeterthe Council is a bit less busy than it used to be, so it shouldn't be a tremendous burden
bearthat always seems to be a minor battle for control in the past (or was I just reading in more drama than is real?)
bearbut yes, I don't expect any problems getting folks to run for the council
stpeterah and I just thought of someone else to poke about serving on the Board
bear:)
Floriangreat
Florian*great
stpeterok, so we go forth and recruit
bearat the 15 min mark - anything else needed to be discussed about this?
Floriannope, not atm

stpeteranyone can do it -- it's a wiki :)
beark
stpeterhappy to do that now, but Alex said he would when we talked about it yesterday in the XSF meeting
bearsorry - that was the real question I was trying to ask
bearI'll mention in the email that
stpeterok
bearnaa - i'll keep it short and simple
beardoh! /me finally reads the member email from Alex where he says exactly that
bearI think it would be safer for all if I go get caffeine now
