[opensuse-project] Board meeting minutes
Hi all, Here are the meeting minutes from the board call held this past Monday. The minutes are also on the wiki: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Board_meeting#Meeting_2013-02-11 As always if you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact one or all of us (board at opensuse.org) Thanks, Your openSUSE board Meeting minutes: 2013-02-11 Present: Andrew, Will, Vincent, Robert, Raymond 1.) Review action items Everything form last meeting complete, spare mediation follow up scheduled two weeks from now. 2.) Face to Face meeting Waiting for confirmation from SUSE about travel fund availability 3.) Monthly board report We announced the reports to be on a regular basis, what should "regular basis" be? Every month, every other month, quarterly? We will stick to a two month report for now to see how things go. AI: Vincent to send draft to board list by end of this week. 4.) Hackathon organization The last event was organized by the openSUSE team at SUSE. This group of people does not want to be the main focus to organize Hackathons. Such sprints should ideally be organized by individual teams, such as KDE, GNOME, etc. However, at this point we do not have the culture within the community to run these events. Until we establish a cadence and culture of hackathons we might need to lean on the openSUSE team to keep organizing the events for a while longer. As long as Hackathons are on SUSE premises a SUSE employ must be present, thus the openSUSE team will most likely be involved anyway. AI: Vincent to discuss with SUSE to have someone who enjoys organizing events and has expertise. This does not have to be a full time position. AI: Robert send a message to -project asking for volunteers 5.) openSUSE Summit We know that the event is scheduled. We have 3 volunteers at this point but we do not have anyone who is ready to step up and run the show similar to the way Bryan did last year. Robert is willing to run the program committee. AI: Robert start kicking the tires 6.) OBS sponsorship We will get 12 ARM boards for OBS, but sponsor will remain anonymous, i.e. their name will not be spread across opensuse.org pages.

Yes it is. You may recall a report in mid December (http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-project/2012-12/msg00307.html) sent by Vincent that covered board activities for October and November of last year. We did not have a report in December or January, thus we are sticking to a two month cadence for now and see how it goes. The report is intended to touch on things at a higher level and/or include items that we just discussed on the board list and did not revisit in one of the meetings. We do not want those items falling through the cracks.

Thanks, that's what I was wondering. :) Jim -- Jim Henderson Please keep on-topic replies on the list so everyone benefits -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
