== Board meeting ==
* Revisit meeting time?
* Since the current time was decided to help the european people joining, it doesn't seem to work. Should
we revisit?
* ACTION: Shaun to bring that up to the mailing list
* Discussion of Pam's email regarding Ubuntu GNOME
* Ubuntu GNOME already are running with it; we did not tell them not to use the logo so they're already
using it
* They implemented the feedback we gave them months ago.
* Other distros do not always use the GNOME logo and name, so it's a case peculiar to Ubuntu GNOME
* This case is different because the name is combined with the Ubuntu one, as opposed to just using the
logo to advertise they're using GNOME software
* We need to officially license the logo if we want to keep being able to defend our trademark
* Foundation would not really be able to answer the question of defining exactly what constitutes GNOME
* ACTION: Allan to follow up with Pam about where this need for definition comes from, possibly set up an
IRC meeting
* Will try to dodge answering that specific question
* Need to contact Pam for trademarks needing renewal?
* ACTION: Jeff will talk to Pam about this since she's a trademark
lawyer --> DONE
* GNOME logo use by podiatrist (Shaun)
* Shaun wasn't able to find copyright status of our logo yet
* Legitimate in trademark terms
* We can ask about attribution
* Trademark-infringing swag (Cosimo)
* Asked Karen for advice
* Logo usage for tshirts
* No news on Alexandru Cojocaru's request from 8/25
* ACTION: Cosimo to reply to him saying we're looking into it
* Hellotux still moving, need more iterations
* Still need more information from them
* ACTION: Allan will reach out directly to them and shorten the communication loop
* Freedesktop hackfests with Groupon money (Kat)
* Deferred until Kat is here
* Privacy funds hackfest (Sri, Christian)
* No news
* GUADEC 2016
* Previously had agreed to extend the deadline (https://wiki.gnome.org/FoundationBoard/Minutes/20150826
and https://wiki.gnome.org/FoundationBoardPrivate/Minutes/20150901), and announce it, but we haven't done that
* 1st October should be the deadline for bids.
* Local teams should be encouraged to communicate with the board if they need more time.
* Kat mentioned she told this to the groups involved in the bids
* Wiki needs to be updated and a mail sent to foundation-list.
* ACTION: Shaun update the wiki and send mail
* Annual report
* It's pretty much done; in the hands of Andreas to layout
* Would be nice to have printed copies for Sri's presentation next week.
* Sri would need to look into this himself, as it's really close
* Want to have them in time for Boston Summit in any case
* Primary audience is AdBoard in any case. How did we distribute these in the past?
* AdBoard meeting preferred way of doing it. Prior to them we mailed it to them.
* If we mail, would be best to do from a single location. Rosanna could do it, but she needs physical
addresses for AdBoard members which we don't have currently
* Should also send them out to potential future members
* ACTION: Jeff to fish addresses
== Discussed on the mailing list ==
* Business cards
* Sri proposed the adoption of generic business cards for marketing purposes
* Allan will take care of arranging a possible official design for the cards, see the thread at:
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/engagement-list/2015-September/msg00059.html
* No planned expense has been decided yet about this topic, the Board will follow up when an official
design will be ready
== Completed actions ==
* Jeff to follow up with Federico about the wooden foot gift experiment
== Pending action items ==
* Kat to draft a call for Free Desktop-style hackfests which would be sponsored with money raised for
defence against Groupon
* Logo usage for t-shirts: Jeff to carry on with the process and follow up and have some general guidelines
written down for future cases
* Podiatrist possible trademark infringement: Shaun to check the trademark details for the GNOME logo and
update the licensing page on the website
* Allan to make a proposal for a different way to use the wiki/etherpad for action items, instead of using
kanboard
* Jeff to get advisory board contact details from Karen. If this fails, we need to start developing our own
contacts and record them on the wiki.
* Create a webpage for prior pants winners (Shaun and Allan)
* Cosimo to follow up in the upcoming meetings and prepare a version of the CoC to be finally considered
final over all the GNOME yearly events
* Kat to draft a proposal for a privacy policy for review
