Gerald worked through election rules and prepared two preliminary updates.
Found one "bug" in the election rules, beyond that only editorial changes (consistency, simplifications).
Next step: share with project@ and (unless there is push back) board can vote.

- Ish and Shawn will have a look at the proposed edits, before message going out to project@

Board recieved e-mail from Joseph with KDE regarding participation in "End of 10" Campaign https://endof10.org
Campaign coordinates multiple FOSS projects and stakeholders in a marketing effort regarding the EOL of Microsoft Windows 10, encouraging FOSS software as a replacement
Consider marketing around FOSS solutions beyond just the OS (Active Directory/Office/Exchange/etc?)
Ish: news.o.o articles about transition programs? Quick tutorials about replacements, etc
Shawn: Add openSUSE Project to endof10 list of projects? https://invent.kde.org/website/endof10-org/-/blob/master/data/events.json

- Ish has some local support, in the form of volunteers to help with coding

Henne also offered help in response to earlier board minutes shared
Consideration in the development of this project, on not fragmenting project data even further than it already is (We have many different platforms within the project, and it can make things difficult to find/manage at times)
