[16:04:18] [item 3, President's Report] [16:04:21] 2016 was a productive year for SPI. We held a face-to-face meeting in [16:04:21] New York where we discussed outstanding items as well as the roadmap [16:04:21] for the organization. [16:04:23] [16:04:26] We've made good progress during 2016 to move to an accounting system [16:04:28] based on ledger-cli. [16:04:31] [16:04:33] We've seen a lot of interest in SPI and we accepted several projects [16:04:36] as SPI associated projects. See the 2016 Annual Report for updates [16:04:38] from new and existing associated projects. [16:04:41] [16:04:43] I'd like to thank everyone who contributed to SPI and the FOSS [16:04:46] community!

[16:07:11] I would like to thank zobel and xnox for their tremendous assistance in helping get us moved to ledger-cli [16:07:29] also thank you to tridge for his assistance with Paypal tracking [16:07:47] [16:07:48] We should talk offline about how to proceed now that xnox is leaving the board [16:07:56] agreed [16:08:13] any questions for Michael?

[16:11:41] [item 7, Items up for discussion] [16:11:58] There's nothing on the agenda, so let's move to other business [16:11:59] [item 8, Any other business] [16:12:01] Anything? [16:12:07] Any guests would like to ask questions? [16:12:35] luca: did you end up talking to Brett at SFC? [16:12:47] spectranaut: negative [16:13:39] do you plan to? I'm happy to start an email thread -- this is about their reimbursement software [16:13:52] yes, please do [16:14:11] The AGM is usually not very active. The 2016 annual report contains a lot of material so I hope people appreciate that [16:14:31] also, an SPI BOF got accepted at DebConf and that usually attracts quite a few people. [16:15:19] anything else? [16:15:27] Who will be present at the SPI BOF OOI? (I'll be at DebConf.) [16:16:01] I'll be there. I believe luca and zobel. I assume Hydroxide [16:16:05] I will bet there [16:16:12] I'll be there too [16:17:16] [item 9, Next board meeting] [16:17:18] The next board meeting is currently scheduled for August 14, 2017. [16:17:20] However, I wonder if we should push this back by one week since this is right after DebConf17. [16:18:04] makes no difference to me -- do you think people will be travelling? [16:18:16] (or a week earlier) [16:18:27] -*- luca would prefer to push the meeting up one week [16:18:36] to be closer to the announcement of election results [16:18:50] even if that means that the meeting happens during debconf [16:19:16] one week earlier would be during debconf, and we don't know what session(s) will be happening then. I view that as a mild downside but I don't object strongly. [16:19:56] I can probably attend August 14 but due to a routine dental appointment earlier that day have a chance of missing it. no known conflict for August 21. [16:20:21] I'll aim to attend any of those. [16:21:15] --> jg (~jg@static-173-76-34-203.bstnma.fios.verizon.net) has joined #spi [16:21:37] Ok, maybe we should just stay with August 14. Let's see what the people missing today say. [16:22:09] *GAVEL*
