+## Summary
+Note that this was a face-to-face meeting at XDC in Portland, OR. No IRC
+logs are avaliable for this meeting.
+
+Thanks to the efforts by the SFLC, we have our 501(c)(3) status back, and
+the required tax form have been filed, or are in the process of being filed.
+
+As for the umbrella organisation, we chose SPI - if we will merge, there are
+some items to be checked first before we can make that decision.
+
+## Items discussed
+[[!format txt """
+ITEM: 501(c)(3) Status
+SFLC got us our 501(c)(3) status back, but Stuart K is still waiting for the
+paperwork to arrive. The 990N tax form for 2012 has been filed, and the ones
+for the preceding years will be filed as required.
+ACTION: Stuart K to receive paperwork
+STATUS: Complete
+
+ITEM: Umbrella org
+Keith chatted to SPI and SFConservancy, both of them would be willing to 
+host X.Org. The board voted unanimously for SPI, if we will merge with an
+umbrella - that part isn't completely clear yet.
+ACTION:
+Keith P will talk to to our council at the SFLC to figure out a way forward.
+Peter H will check the by-laws if a merge requires a member vote.
+STATUS: Pending
+
+ITEM: Bank move
+Stuart in the process of changing bank. Filed an application form, not yet
+done.
+ACTION: Stuart to complete the process
+STATUS: Pending
+
+ITEM: Copyright transfer from The Open Group to the X.Org foundation
+Did that ever happen? Now there's a tale of the past. Email records say it
+has been done but we don't have documentation.
+ACTION: Alan C to chase this up
+STATUS: Pending
+
+ITEM: GSoC mentor payments
+ACTION: Stuart waiting for reply from Google
+STATUS: Pending
