1 openSUSE Jitsi instance for Board calls

• Outcome: Inform mstrigl and test again the instance and see if the issues are solved.
• https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/66173?issue_count=124&issue_position=45&next_issue_id=66057&prev_issue_id=4314#note-4

2 Extra topic - Missing public minutes

• Gerald: checked the published minutes and some are still missing and not published.
  • Marina: she has two pending minutes to send out. She will circulate the draft for a final review.
• Proposal from Gerald: for speeding up the publishing, just wait for the feedback from two board members and then send out the final minutes to the list.

3 Community platform domain

• The board got a request from marketing community people for using opensu.se domain
• Vinz asked for more info like goal and scope.
• Marketing people compared what Fedora is using now for community services like for example URL shortner.
• Issue: the proposed URL is owned by an individual community member.
  • Simon told that about 2 years ago the owner was in favour to transfer the domain to the project.
  • Gerald suggests to try to ask first informally, not directly as board, and try to ask what the owner is willing to do now.

AI: Vinz will try to contact the owner.

• The discussion was moved to a generic level, trying to understand if there are other domains to possibly register and if they are tracked somewhere.

NOTEs:

• https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/64652
• https://progress.opensuse.org/projects/opensuse-admin-wiki/wiki/Domains
  • Geographical domains should only be used for localized community topics.
  • Owner should be the owner of the openSUSE trademark or a group of trusted people.
