List of topics:

Announced and already pretty many people signed in for it.
* Foundation
Zonker and michl will meeting with a Novell expert on such stuff on Monday June 9 to evaluate which possibilities we have and which way openSUSE should take.
* Membership requests
We are too lame, 15 requests out of the last round are waiting for more than 4 weeks for final approval now. Just another 70 requests were imported into the tool today.
* open openSUSE Factory for contribution
Henne drove this project inside Novell for a while now and we had at the Board several discussions around it. Meanwhile it is announced and is an important step to bring the whole project ahead.
* openSUSE Board presence at the openSUSE conference
There need to be a strong Board presence but in a very interactive way so no big presentation but rather round table conversations about the status of the project and its future.
* read and write access to news.openSUSE.org?
The Board suggest to extend the group of people with read and write access for news.opensuse.org. Anyone interested please send a mail to board@opensuse.org and as for write access or even suggest another person to get it. Approval body will be the openSUSE Board.
* Federico resigned due to work over load, Stephen Shaw (decriptor) is the uprunner and takes over his seat
