= 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!

* Present: Gerald, Syds, Patrick, Knurpht, Doug, Maurizio, Neal
* Excused:
* Missed:
* Guests: Bittin (Luna), Axel, Stefan B
== Update from Patrick ==
* Patrick makes a presentation to the Board with observations and reality checks regarding the foundation topic.
* Makes some suggestions on what could/should be done and also presents what he already did.
** Patrick: At the moment the status is at very early stage: In order to kick start the real work on a foundation I have created the skeleton of a non-for-profit business "The Geeko Foundation" in the UK. 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.
