# Minutes
## Bugshare
Discussion of Bugshare. Board is concerned that the Bugshare team is
receiving a disproportionate amount of requests unrelated to
unblocking contributions.
Board agreed on the principle that the bugshare team should prioritise
requests which have a clear need identified by the contributor.
## Copyright
Board discussed a situation of a copyright request related to an
established website/group.
Board decided to give them permission on the conditions that this
group should abide by the following principles
- Guiding Principles
- Forum rules
- Logo use properly
- Non profit operation
Confirmation with our legal team is pending.
## Elections/Call for Volunteers
The Organisation of the next Board Election is currently blocked
pending volunteers for the election committee. Elections has only
recieved 1 volunteer for the Election Committee, but need at least 2
and wish for more.
The meetings attendees are collectively disappointed in the community,
and find it puzzeling that topics about Board transparency can produce
email threads involving dozens of contributors, but there appears to
be little or no interest in running the elections that will replace
the current Board.
AI: The Board will be sending reminder announcements about the open
call for volunteers for the Election Committee.
## openSUSE Foundation
Limited discussions due to Simon (who is taking the lead on this
topic) being absent.
From SUSE's point of view all of the draft ideas
being bounced around
so far carry no objections from thier side.
The Board would like to see some draft ideas shared with the community
before the next Election so the topic can be part of the Election
campaigning.

I realize that by joining the Election Committee, I would be unable to
run for Board membership, but:
I think this is to demanding of a commitment for just two people, so I
will also join and assist the Election Committee.
But, I think we could also use at least one more volunteer, to really do
this right.

Yes, it is disappointing.
No, it is NOT puzzling: Most of the noise on that thread -- though not
all, some do contribute -- came from those who like telling others what
or how they should do something that they themselves cannot be bothered
to even help out with, ie: Hot air.
... that is, IMNSHO.

So, this means we now have three volunteers, i.e.
- Chuck Payne ( terrorpup )
- Edwin Zacharia ( medwinz )
- Gerry Makaro ( Fraser_Bell )
I suggest we keep the call open until the next Board Meeting, more hands will
make the work easier, and would like to thank these three community members
for standing up and do the election work.

Yes.
I am still waiting to see Carlos, Felix, and Patrick Shanahan volunteer
for the elections committee, as they are so keenly interested in the
guidance of openSUSE.

I'd like to volunteer for the Election Committee if you're still seeking
volunteers.
I read through the election rules[1] and I believe it's something I can
help with.
