Directors members or their representatives are attending the call.

the foundations articles, or other requirements regarding form and
invitation, time limits, and for the topics discussed in this meeting.
Previous meeting minutes are published.
The call is quorate.
From now on, a quorum can be reached with a simple majority of 4 votes.
The meeting commences at 15:05 UTC. It was held in private as the board
saw a need for confidentiality during discussions. The results are now
being made public in accordance with our statutes.
1. Change of board call time
Following an internal e-mail discussion with board members, Joel
proposed to have every other meeting 90 minutes earlier, to give an
equal chance for all board members to join the calls due to different
timezones. The proposal is unanimously agreed on. Michael asked to have
appointments via iCal, and Florian will take care to have it done.
In the call at the end of the meeting: Thorsten Behrens, Michael Meeks,
Bjoern Michaelsen, Eike Rathke, Norbert Thiebaud, Florian Effenberger,
Sophie Gautier.
