+ITEM: Requesting ledger data from SPI
+Finally got a response from SPI:
+
+  At the SPI board meeting in November there were other dependencies that
+  needed to be worked on first, those being:
+  0. Improve SPI infrastructure:  We are currently finalizing legal details to
+	 hire a contractor to work on that.
+  1. Decide on the move from ledger to beancount: It was decided that beancount
+	 was a better tool for SPI purposes, so we have been moving to beancount.
+
+  Since Martin has done very good progress on the move from ledger to
+  beancount, SPI board might need to re-evaluate priorities soon, and we are a
+  step closer to provide what you are asking for but it might still take some
+  more time.
+
+ACTIONS:
+STATUS: Done
+
+ITEM: XDC2019 sponsor invoicing
+ARM thought they paid but no money has been received yet, no word from Intel yet.
+ACTIONS: Eric to keep poking ARM/Intel
+STATUS: Pending
+
+ITEM: X.org/freedesktop.org domain status
+Still no update from SPI
+ACTIONS: Keith to keep poking, Lyude to try secretary poke again
+STATUS: Pending
+
+ITEM: Elections
+60% odd turnout so far, reminders sent out to folks who haven't voted yet.
+ACTIONS:
+STATUS: Pending
+
+ITEM: Cloud hosting for freedesktop.org
+Benjamin Tissoires has been super busy getting traffic data for nginx and
+setting that all up, so we now track compute engine network egress, and is
+working with Daniel Stone to upgrade infra for this where needed. The work from
+projects has been paying off, and network egress overall is on a good downward
+trend (not stopped yet). Costs prediction for April is less then half of what it
+was in January. More work for optimizing this further is still underway.
+ACTIONS:
+STATUS: Pending
+
+ITEM: XDC2020 website
+The organizers now have edition rights to the website and the XDC twitter
+account login details. They should start updating the content at both places at
+some point.
+ACTIONS:
+STATUS: Done
+
+ITEM: XDC2020 sponsors
+No updates for the moment
+ACTIONS: Danvet to keep poking potential sponsors
+STATUS: Pending
+
+ITEM: Google Season of Docs
+Trevor suggested making one of our possible projects for GSoD be to convert as
+much documentation on X.org projects as possible over to Sphinx.
+ACTIONS: Trevor to send an email to relevant mailing lists to try to get a
+better idea of the scope for this project.
+STATUS: Pending
