+Topics:
+=======
+
+1. Khronos/VESA Membership
+2. Status of Corporation
+3. Status of bylaws
+4. Election Process
+5. Next X Developers conference.
+
+1. Khronos/VESA Membership
+   It was suggested (and discussed among X developers attending DDC) that
+   it may be worthwhile for X.Org to become a member of Khronos the 
+   organization that is currently steering OpenGL and related standards.
+   Standards passed by Khronos and technologies developed by X.Org may
+   directly affect each other, therefore it is desirealbe that X.Org
+   participates in the discussion of standards early.
+   It was decided to assing to KM and SK the taskt to explore on what 
+   terms and conditons X.Org can cooperate with Khronos.
+   Furthermore it was briefly discussed if X.Org should become a member
+   of VESA or if it was sufficient for X.Org to have funds to purchase
+   relevant specifications: although there may not be a reason for X.Org
+   to actively drive standards it may be importand to know early in advance
+   what technologies to expect. SK and EE were assigned the task to explore
+   this issue further.
+
+2. Status of Corporation
+   LS reported on the progress of the status of the filing of the
+   incorporation: LS is closely working together with our legal counsel
+   to work out the details and obtain documents that are still missing.
+
+3. Status of bylaws
+   After receiving a reply from the lawyer the bylaw committee will
+   meet this week. It hopes to be able to draft a final version avaliable
+   before the next call.
+
+4. Election Process
+   As the election schedule is closely tied to the bylaw process
+   the election subcommittee will draft a schedule once the bylaw
+   subcomittee has completed its work.
+
+5. Next X Developers conference.
+   SK reported that he would be happy to organize another X developers
+   conference hosted by SUN Microsystems.
+   It was also noted that X.Org should to foster more local X developers
+   conferences in different parts of the world - like this year on FOSDEM
+   in Brussels by providing financial and logistical support and encourage 
+   local community members to step up and organize such an event.
