+[[!format txt """
+ITEM: Requesting ledger data
+Surprise! Progress has finally been made, and SPI is setting up a meeting
+between Manasi, Lyude, SPI, and another project who is also interested in
+having a feed of ledger data as well.
+ACTIONS: Attend meeting
+STATUS: Pending
+
+ITEM: X.org/freedesktop.org domain status
+Finally got in contact with tpot, and are now in the process of setting up an
+account on Gandi. Once that's done, we can move forward with the technical side
+of things
+ACTIONS: Make an account on Gandi
+STATUS: Pending
+
+ITEM: XDC2019 sponsor invoicing
+Manasi was finally able to get Intel's payment through, and it should already
+be in SPI's account. Hooray
+ACTIONS: None!
+STATUS: Done! Finally!
+
+ITEM: XDC2020 sponsor invoicing
+Received some receipts from Intel Poland that need to be accounted for when
+invoicing for Intel for XDC2020, need to do some haggling with arm
+ACTIONS: Manasi to do some haggling with ARM
+STATUS: Pending
+
+ITEM: XDC2021
+No updates
+ACTIONS:
+STATUS: Pending
+
+ITEM: XDC2020
+Individual talk videos still need to be uploaded to youtube
+ACTIONS: Samuel to poke con organizers
+STATUS: Pending
+
+ITEM: GSoC
+Some big changes to GSoC 2021 - duration down to 10 weeks from 12, 2 evaluations
+down from 3 (and the first one is optional), tasks expected to be worth 175
+hours of student time (down from 350 hours), and student and org stipends cut in
+half.
+ACTIONS: Trevor to update ideas page on x.org wiki
+STATUS: Pending
+
+ITEM: HDMI 2.1
+In short, the HDMI specification is no longer public. This is potentially a big
+issue for a lot of drivers (and definitely is for AMD's drivers) as a lot of
+these features are controlled in software by our kernel drivers. This basically
+means we can't have an open implementation of HDMI2.1 features. Harry proposed
+to send a request from X.org to the HDMI forum outlining the desire and benefits
+to publically disclose certain HDMI 2.1 spec information to enable open
+graphics/display stacks to implement support for them.
+ACTIONS: Harry to draft email and send to board for (fast) approval
+STATUS: Pending
