Just a correction, I was at this meeting from 1pm onwards.

* Karen Sandler
* Marina Zhurakhinskaya
* Sriram Ramkrishna== Missing ==
== Board meeting ==
* Quick round of introduction for new and old members
* Motivations and what they'd like to see happening this year
* Tactical evaluation of everybody's capabilities and availability for board work (a.k.a. character profiles or "specializations & interests")* Introspection — what went well in 2014, what didn't, and understanding the constraints the board was dealing with beneath the surface
* Kat: The first part of the year has been very busy for the whole Board with the Groupon's legal matter
* Kat: In the ending part of the term a few members lost interest in Board's activities as they found a new job
* An ED kept the advisory board members in touch with the GNOME Foundation and kept them engaged with GNOME's activities
* ACTION: Jeff to get advisory board contact details from Karen. If this fails, we need to start developing our own contacts and record them on the wiki. (Once we have these, we need to discuss how to make use of them!)
* ACTION: start doing quarterly advisory board meetings again.
* ACTION: complete the 2014-15 annual report.
* ACTION: ensure that we have an ambassadorial presence at key conferences. Remind Sri to do this at the conferences he attends. Review which conferences we should be at; organise people to attend (Christian could help with this - need to identify other individuals).
We probably need to discuss what this translated to. Next month I will be talking freshman at Purdue school of science.. Any ideas on what to do there?
* Preparing the GUADEC Advisory Board Meeting
* Christian will be arriving in the afternoon only, so will be an afternoon only meeting.
* Attendees: Christian Schaller at noon, Scott Reeves, current board (7), Rosanna, Tobi, Sri (?)
I was there :)
