https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Board/issues/72 * Review board initiatives
* Ongoing discussion from the board hackfest about how to define GNOME software. This group will have a call soon.
* Employee handbook,
https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Board/issues/43 — can this be closed now that it is being done?
* Policy for private minutes,
https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Board/issues/61 — Philip will try to work on this during the holiday break. (Not done yet.)
* Hackfest approvals — need to define better what a GNOME event is. Pam's advice was to write a description of the events that may use the trademark (iin other words, describe a hackfest) and supply that as a guideline.
* Committees — need to revisit this one in the new year.
* What was the status of the sponsorship committee? - Wait for development coordinator to be hired, and see how the board needs to support that person with a committee.
* Who is going to FOSDEM?
== Actions ==
