http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-announce/2003-September/msg00001.html
- Linux Desktop Consortium:
- Luis to act as contact
- Luis will find a speaker for the Linux Desktop Consortium
at 10th November in Boston University
- Trying to get OSDL involved with GNOME:
- Nat will contact them
- GUADEC:
- we got two concrete proposals:
+ Stuttgart proposal
+ Norwegian proposal
- The big problem is to find out precisely what are the associated
cost for locations, and commitment for those.
- unfortunately we still cannot make the decision
- Timing and location in Stuttgart looks better
- The Norwegian proposal is more solid though
=> Tim is gona chase the final proposal to check with the budget.
- SUMMIT:
- We will probably have the summit end of November in New-York
- Voting for the Board elections
- It is not a change of the charter or the by-laws
- There is consensus within the board to change to an anonymous voting
procedure.
=> Jeff to check the by-laws to see if there is time to make a
community poll before the election, if there is enough time then
the next election will be accordingly to the the result of the
poll, otherwise the poll will be conducted as the same time as the
election.
- advisory board conf call:
- Daniel will try to schedule it
