03 Apr '23

= Board Meeting Monday 2023-03-13 13:00 CET = * Present: Doug, Gerald, Mau, Neal * Excused: Gertjan, Patrick == Sponsorships via Geeko Foundation == * Received a sponsorship offer that actually requires a non-profit. * Looks like a good first case for Geeko Foundation? * Patrick not available today, so taken to e-mail. * Feedback: Geeko Foundation (website) doesn't talk to relationship with openSUSE? == CoC amendement == * Discussed refining the openSUSE Code of Conduct (CoC). * Harassment may be a little too vague of a term, especially for non-English speakers * Working on an amendment to better clarify harassment * https://en.opensuse.org/Code_of_Conduct * Current thinking is to add: ** "Compelling and coercing people" ** "Using humiliating behavior toward others" * Potential concern on the use of the word "compelling" being used above. * Could the use of compelling be too broad and/or contrary to the meaning of the above? * Feedback very welcome!

I chose the UK because it was a simple process to register and low cost too. It can be moved to another legal jurisdiction if required, however I felt having something now was very important. ** The registration process is now complete, and there should have a placeholder page on geekos.org ** A bank account is in place. ** Geeko Foundation plans to sponsor the openSUSE Conference - with hopefully more events throughout the year. == private: Conflict Resolution == Meeting closed at 14:30 CET
