Michael Löffler (michl)
Bryen Yunashko (suseROCKs)
Pascal Bleser (yaloki)
Stephen Shaw (decriptor)
Hendrik Vogelsang (henne)

List of topics:
- membership approval still way to slow as it is a manual process and we don’t have anybody who could enhance users.opensuse.org, This might be a good project for hackweek project.
- Creation of an openSUSE foundation. Work in progress. Was a bit slowed down through vacation and events.
- Ambassador program has had a good start and has lots of enthusiasm and activity.
- Opening of factory – done. Groups are now forming up.
- hack week, Hackweek IV will be held from July 20-27, product in openFATE to be used to get people together

Board Meeting July 14, 2009
7pm – 9:15 UTC

Participants:
same as above

List of topics:
- membership approval, this time the Board members promised to vote, michls proposal to add a third vote automatically where already 2 same votes exist was denied. (side note – the Board delivered on this promise, meanwhile all requests from the last import are worked through, we have around 30 new openSUSE members and the next requests are imported to be worked through)
- openSUSE Foundation, the bylaws are drafted by a Novell employee with strong interaction of zonker and michl, as there were several questions by other Board members about the foundation michl will get Alan with the openSUSE Board in direct contact to answer those questions more efficiently
- some tech talk started by decriptor, baseline most important to have the latest stuff regardless if it adds value to the users – just joking

Next Board Meeting July 27
