Two possible ideas are to
1) Have highlights on the top of the Foundation meeting minutes. 1-3 items everyone in the Foundation should 
know about - whether because help is needed in completing them or because they got completed.
2) Have the board members take turns in writing a monthly blog post in their own blog about the happenings on 
the board, from their perspective. This will give people an interesting first-hand insight and place it in 
front of their eyes on Planet GNOME. This is similar to how we learn about what happened at hackfests or what 
the interns have been up to. There should also be a wiki page where the posts' authors will be responsible to 
add links to their reports. A schedule of who is responsible for the blog post each month should be created 
in the beginning of the board year.
