+06:58 < whot> good morning gents
+06:58 <+egbert> good evening :)
+06:59 < stukreit> hi!
+06:59 < mupuf> hi guys
+06:59 < mupuf> this time, it's the right day :)
+07:00 < stukreit> yup :-P
+07:01 -!- marcoz [~oftc-webi@c-67-190-186-215.hsd1.co.comcast.net] has joined #xf-bod
+07:01 < marcoz> hi 
+07:01 <+alanc> good afternoon
+07:02 < agd5f_> hi
+07:03 < whot> keithp: ping
+07:03 <+egbert> before i forget to mention it: i might not be able to make it to next meeting as i will be on vacation.
+07:03 < keithp> whot: I'm here
+07:04 < mupuf> egbert: lucky you ;)
+07:05 <+egbert> mupuf: we'll see ;)
+07:05 < whot> alrighty, let's get started. not that we have much: SPI is the recurring item on the agenda
+07:06 < whot> I don't seem to have anything else, Check has semi-requested travel funding for XDC but not formally yet
+07:06 < keithp> whot: and the recurring 'sorry that I've made no progress' have pinged SPI again, but I need to be more annoying
+07:07 < keithp> They meet only monthly; are meeting today in a few hours even
+07:07 < stukreit> I wish to report that I have made Roy's payment but am still working on Check's. Its hard to get money to Cameroon. today I asked him for some more information to take to the bank.
+07:07 < keithp> stukreit: good luck
+07:08 < mupuf> stukreit: thanks, good luck with it!
+07:08 < stukreit> thanks.
+07:08 < whot> stukreit: thanks
+07:08 < mupuf> whot: AFAIR, Check was asking for funding to attend the GSoC conference
+07:09 <+egbert> stukreit: when you get done with it you will be a true international banking expert ;p
+07:09 < mupuf> that's weird because he is not a GSoC student :o
+07:09 <+alanc> I was confused by his statement that he's attending the GSoC reunion on behalf of X.org
+07:09 < whot> huh, you're right, I read over that
+07:09 < keithp> mupuf: do we have anyone else attending the GSoC thing?
+07:09 < stukreit> egbert: I don't think so. the rules keep changing
+07:10 < keithp> stukreit: a meta-expert then
+07:10 < mupuf> keithp: I won't be able to attend it
+07:10 <+alanc> but he also asked for XDC travel, and we usually don't approve that until after the students have passed a milestone so we can see they are actually doing work
+07:10 < mupuf> no idea about anyone else willing to attend
+07:10 < mupuf> agd5f_: ?
+07:10 < mupuf> alanc: agreed, too early to say for him
+07:10 < stukreit> If anyone can get to mountain view, I have a room for them.
+07:10 < whot> wrong hemisphere for me
+07:10 <+alanc> I thought google booked an entire hotel at their expense for the gsoc event
+07:11 < mupuf> stukreit: you moved to Google?
+07:11 < stukreit> nope, its close to my home.
+07:11 < mupuf> :) ok, I've never been to the silicon valley, no idea how close everything is
+07:11 < agd5f_> mupuf, attend xdc or gsoc?
+07:12 < mupuf> GSoC
+07:12 < mupuf> you're expected to attend XDC ;)
+07:12 < mupuf> as per your board member obligations
+07:12 < agd5f_> I don't think I can make gsoc.  trips are tough when you have kids :)
+07:12 < mupuf> speaking about this, please add yourself to the list: http://www.x.org/wiki/Events/XDC2014/Attendees/
+07:13 < stukreit> agd5f speaks daddy logic
+07:13 < mupuf> agd5f_: hey hey, I can believe that.
+07:14 < agd5f_> mupuf, I'll probably need x funding to attend xdc since it's in .eu and AMD will probably prefer to send someone based in ,eu
+07:15 <+egbert> agd5f_: this shouldn't be a problem
+07:15 < mupuf> I guess we don't even need to vote for that
+07:15 < agd5f_> I
+07:15 < agd5f_> 'll ask first
+07:15 < mupuf> yeah, please ask :)
+07:15 <+alanc> I think we should vote, for the record, and to allow Alex to be on the record as abstaining for the conflict-of-interest policy we never wrote down
+07:16 <+alanc> but I think we're likely to approve 7-0
+07:16 < mupuf> alanc: ok, let's vote
+07:16 < mupuf> +1
+07:16 <+alanc> lets wait until he finds out if he needs funding first
+07:16 < mupuf> ok, but I think this is stupid since we require board members to attend
+07:17 < agd5f_> I think we've got some time.  I'll find out before the next meeting
+07:17 < whot> yeah, but for the sake of paperwork etc. I'd still like to have a formal request on the board list first
+07:17 < mupuf> whot: ack
+07:17 < whot> same goes for everyone else, obviously
+07:17 <+alanc> do we?  we strongly encourage it, but I remember some board members missing XDC in past years
+07:18 <+egbert> this was most likely not due to funding but other conflicts
+07:18 < mupuf> alanc: We can excuse them if really needed, so I guess this is a strong suggestion
+07:18  * alanc thinks my travel request was approved, but have only heard that from my director, not my manager, so it's not official yet
+07:18 < agd5f_> I missed it last year due to other conflicts
+07:18 < keithp> alanc: I won't hear for weeks yet
+07:18 < stukreit> agd5f: its not too soon to ask for travel. I've been asking my mgmt about it. A lot depends on begin/end of quarter open books
+07:18  * mupuf will need travel funding for the 2km-long bike trip
+07:19 <+alanc> right, as far as I remember, we've always paid when needed for board members, but people have missed due to conflicts
+07:19 <+egbert> mupuf: if you think you can get a new bikte this way ;p
+07:19 <+alanc> mupuf: so a box of energy bars?
+07:19 <+alanc> and maybe a water bottle?
+07:19 < mupuf> alanc: a glass of water will do ;)
+07:19 < mupuf> there is a free water dispenser @ LaBRI, you won't even need to pay anything
+07:20 < mupuf> Btw, I looked a little on the social event again
+07:20 < agd5f_> stukreit, I've already requested it, but mgmt tends not to approve until the last minute
+07:21 < mupuf> for the pedal-happy guys here, it really is a long ride to Saint Emilion... And it is hilly too
+07:21 < stukreit> agd5f: understood, sometimes they appreciate that air tix in advance are cheaper.
+07:22  * whot already booked the flights
+07:22 < stukreit> mupuf: I'll look on the map, but I'm pretty sure its doable. hills are the attraction
+07:22 < mupuf> I'll see if we can go somewhere closer than saint emilion that is still easily reachable by public transports for those who do not feel like cycling for 2h (that's the max distance I'll be setting)
+07:23 < mupuf> I'm ok with them, I cycle every day, but not everyone will make it there and back again. Not sure if the train company will accept having 10 bikes in their carriages
+07:25 < mupuf> in any case, I'll be looking into it more carefully soon, when I see the light at the end of the "writing my PhD thesis" tunnel
+07:25 < whot> mupuf: it's the oncoming train!
+07:25 < whot> ok, do we have anything else to go through today?
+07:26 < whot> mupuf: can you reply to Check re the GSoC meeting/Xorg confusion?
+07:26 < mupuf> whot: ok, I'll do it now
+07:29 < whot> ok, if no-one else has anything, then we can reconvene in 2 weeks. thanks for attending
