The meeting commences at 15:00 UTC. It was held partly in public and
partly in private as the board saw a need for confidentiality during
discussions. The results are now being made public in accordance with
our statutes.
Public part
1. LibreOffice conference
Sophie says the organization is going on. Matthias needs keynotes names
for the local PR. Also, it would be great to have a first draft of the
program that would help registrations to grow.
Sophie has pinged the mentors of the GSoc program to remind their
students that they are invited.
Norbert will send a mail to invite contributors with high commits during
the year to attend the conference. The general message has to be passed
to the project lists that we are able to reimburse travel for contributors.
Michael would like to reserve a keynote for Jay from CloudOn.
