Discussion:

- Approval for minutes of last meeting
  http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-announce/2003-April/msg00000.html

  Seems the empty section about "Discussion of management of Tim" raised some
  questions. DV will followup on the list.

- GUADEC
  The deadline for accomodation at Trinity is done.
  If people book a room before the end of the week there is a grace period
  but there is no guarantee.
  Activity on the week-end before GUADEC, shall we have some summit style
  meetings.
  The Advisory Board meeting will happen on the 19th of June after GUADEC.
  Moving forward with Logon for booths, 

Daniel
