report to the list
* Also want to send an email to the adboard list to give a heads-up to the other AdBoard members
* ACTION: Shaun to send the email to the list
* ACTION: Kat to add people to the email
* GNOME.Asia budget
* Received budget but it's a list of expenses, not a full budget
* Most expensive option is $23699.50, least expensive option is $13579.50
* GNOME.Asia organizers haven't communicated us how much they expect to raise themselves
* Then we'll need to coordinate with the organizers about how much money we'll advance for the conference.
Probably can figure that out by next week.
* ACTION: Kat volunteers to help them to write a proper budget, and then go from there
* GUADEC contract
* We have a draft for the contract. Local organization and Linux Tag e.V. have a few changes that they want
us to make

* ACTION: Kat will proceed adjusting the current draft to address the local oraganizer's requests
* Google ad grant
* Are we interested? We would get free credit for Google AdWords. We could advertise things (e.g. GUADEC)
through Google AdWords for free

least
* We can work with the Engagement team to get some further help with this
* ACTION: Alexandre to follow up with the procedure to get registered
* Trademark request: chrome extension - bug 727936 - integration with GNOME Shell
* General feeling that we would prefer for the extension to be hosted on git.gnome.org
* If they are a third-party we would probably have to sign an agreement where they acknowledge that the
trademark is our property
* The agreement can protect us in case the logo is used in association with something else, or in case the
project contains malicious code
* ACTION: Cosimo to draft an agreement and then we can move the vote on the mailing list
