Re: Minutes of the Board Meeting of January, 23th, 2015

[Alberto Ruiz <aruiz gnome org>]

Hello Board,

2015-02-02 22:51 GMT+01:00 Andrea Veri <av gnome org>:

Deferred:
 * Responding to a phone press inquiry asking to reach Stormy Peters
  * Comment from Stormy: "There is a press mailing list to deal with press inquiries. And if they are looking for me, they should be able to find me but you are welcome to point them my way."
  * ACTION: maybe Rosanna can check with the caller to see what he wants and see if we need to get back to him by press contact, or if he really wanted to reach Stormy in particular?
 * Sysadmin sponsorship: should we have a guadec-style sponsors' brochure to help with that?
 * WHS
 * OEM Linux distribution including GNOME - any action required wrt Narcis Garcia's email?
 * Review action items in kanban board, for completeness and status
 * ED search

ED search deferred? Again?

Guys, I am sorry to tell, and I hope I don't just speak for myself here, but I can't think of _anything_ more important/urgent than finding a new ED, whatever tasks the board tries to accomplish without the assistance of an ED is just going to take longer, and at the end of the day not having one is going to harm our relationship with our sponsors and it's going to remove our ability to find new ones.

If you are working something out in the background that the members of the foundation are not aware of, please tell, and if you keep deferring it for good reasons, please, state those reasons.

I'd hate to see ourselves in a similar situation than we were when our first ED back in the days left
