+23:00 <alanc> Good afternoon/evening
+23:00 <agd5f> hello
+23:00 <+dberkholz> yep
+23:05 <+dberkholz> Bart_Massey: did you get stephane's email about gsoc vendor info?
+23:05 <+Bart_Massey> Yes, albeit later than I should have.  I responded.
+23:05 <alanc> hmm, looks like https://foundation.x.org/bod/ElectionCommittee is still broken
+23:06 <+dberkholz> ah, must've been in the past couple of days.
+23:06 <+Bart_Massey> indeed
+23:09 <alanc> so we still seem to be missing anholt, keithp, emmes, and mherrb
+23:10 <+anholt> here
+23:11 <keithp> I'm here as well
+23:11 <alanc> since the board wiki is still down, I assume the election committee hasn't been able to do much since last meeting
+23:12 <agd5f> yup
+23:13 <alanc> Stuart says he has nothing to report from treasurer status beyond what he already sent in e-mail (new check for Matt sent to Keith for co-signing) - did anyone want to discuss the mail he forwarded about a donation policy?
+23:13 <alanc> do we need to explicitly state that money doesn't buy any promises before we start accepting donations to the 501(c)3?
+23:13 <+dberkholz> i agree with the impression alanc got from them
+23:14 <+Bart_Massey> I just got a phone call and have a family emergency.  Have to go now---sorry.
+23:14 <+dberkholz> yeah, i'm pretty sure you are right about that. otherwise it doesn't count as donation anymore but as other income
+23:14 <alanc> we have linked to donors before, but I think that was out of gratitude, not a condition of the donation
+23:15 <+anholt> while we try to get expo up again, I can fwd the 2009 process text to the committee if that would help.
+23:15 <agd5f> anholt: yes please
+23:16 <alanc> if I remember right, this should be around the time they're thinking about the schedule and making sure the membership process stuff is working for new members to sign up before the elections
+23:16 <+anholt> we have 0 apps in the queue at the moment, last app was a month ago or so.
+23:17 <+anholt> who was the committee this year?
+23:17 <+anholt> meh, I'll just forward to board@
+23:17 <alanc> agd5f, mherrb, mhopf, & keithp should be this years committee, since they're most recently elected
+23:17 <alanc> but board works too
+23:18 <keithp> no reason to not use the board list; the only interesting piece is who gets the 'write enable' bits
+23:18  * keithp has been hacking on SIMD hardware a bit too much
+23:21 <+anholt> done.
+23:21 <alanc> agd5f: any 501(c)3 news?
+23:22 <agd5f> alanc: just waitig for stuart to update the financial numbers post-XDS
+23:23 <alanc> okay, I'll remind him
+23:23 <agd5f> thanks
+23:24 <alanc> just saw dberkholz's comment about professional designers not liking the "do work for a small chance of getting paid" systems, which I can understand
+23:25 <alanc> (and actually saw a well written blog on over the weekend from a designer responding to GAP's logo design "contest" that expressed similar feelings)
+23:26 <alanc> so if we go forward with the contest, we'll probably get more students & amateurs than professionals
+23:26 <+dberkholz> my guess is that we'd get better quality from free vs small amount of money
+23:27 <+dberkholz> people are willing to give away things they wouldn't sell for a pittance
+23:27 <agd5f> yeah, I agree.  it's the "fame" reward
+23:34 <alanc> so do we want to keep up the idea of a contest but without a cash prize?
+23:34 <+dberkholz> the only trick will be reaching the right audience.
+23:35  * anholt feels entirely neutral about the logo change plan.
+23:35 <+dberkholz> we'll just have to re-submit the original logo as an option, so if none of them beat it, they don't get adopted
+23:36 <agd5f> sounds fine to me.
+23:38 <+dberkholz> i'm not deeply passionate about getting a new logo but i'm ok with it
+23:40 <keithp> yeah, the existing logo is lame, but I doubt we'll get anything substantially better...
+23:41 <agd5f> should we just work on gettig the current one properly registered?
+23:43 <alanc> doesn't seem like anyone is all that passionate about a new logo - marcoz (aka Matt Dew) was the only one interested in figuring out how we move forward with organizing a replacement
+23:44 <marcoz> i'm just volunteering to do the grunt work.  either way (keep the existing or look for new) is fine by me.
+23:45 <+dberkholz> sounds like we should just stick with what we've got, until people feel more enthusiastic about changing it
+23:45 <marcoz> it would be nice to have some colors in the logo that we could use in the rest of the site.  color coordination as it were.
+23:47 <+dberkholz> i need to run in a few minutes. is there anything besides this we need to get through today?
+23:48 <alanc> I don't have anything else for the agenda -does anyone else?
+23:48 <agd5f> nothing here
+23:50 <alanc> I move to adjourn then
+23:50 <keithp> second
+23:51 <alanc> see you all in two weeks then
