Discussion
Missing minutes
Advisory board, Aug 11 missing at this point, actions taken
to remedy.
Boston Summit
Tim described rooms available at Stata center.
Getting a Wiki up, getting schedule started seemed to be
the most important tasks at this week.
Possible election changes
Was noted that both changes under discussion (reducing board
size and moving elections closer to GUADEC) would require
bylaws changes. Interval between anonymous voting closing
and next elections seems small to do anything this year.
Pass on to next year's board as recommendations?
Getting stuff done
From discussion, most felt that we weren't dropping important
items though activity has been very low over the last few
months. Trademark issue one possible exception.
Discussion of whether accountability (guilt) or structure
was more important in getting stuff done.
Leslie raised the idea of mixed board/non-board sub-committees
for Marketing, Fundraising, Developer development, and so forth.
