Board Meeting Minutes
After an accidental disclosure of our Board minutes after the last meeting, Board agreed to only publish its minutes after the draft has been agreed upon by the Board

Licensing News
news.opensuse.org need to fixed to show its license for the content (CC-BY)
ACTION: Ana to talk to Doug about getting that fixed if she doesn't fix it already
Sponsoring Football Club
Board had a request to sponsor a local kids football team in Bavaria. The Board discussed the idea. We typically only sponsor conferences when there are openSUSE contributors present to represent the Project and discuss with interested parties. In this case even though this is not a conference, there will be openSUSE Contributors present and the team has parents and supporters from local technical companies in the area (eg. Siemens). The Board decided to sponsor the team with a 5-1 vote. As it is unusual for us to sponsor such things, the Board decided to consider such things only on a case by case basis, at the Board level.
ACTION: Ana to talk to Doug about updating the sponsorship page
openSUSE Asia
Discussion about the logo, trademark, etc. Nothing to discuss, although the logo doesn't comply with our usual colours and logo type, it does fit in the parameters allowed in the Artwork guidelines
- Ana and Simon will be doing the opening and closing sessions
- Ralf Flaxa (SUSE President of Engineering) will now also be providing a keynote
Foundation
Ongoing discussions with SPI - they are generally welcome at the idea of providing a project of our size with their service SFConservancy - also seem to open to working with us. Discussions ongoing
Next Meeting
21st August , after openSUSE Asia, due to Simon and Ana's inability to join due to their return travel from the conference.
