Bdale Garbee had nothing to report.
Treasurer's report
Following the face-to-face meeting in New York in February, Michael Schultheiss has been working on transitioning SPI to ledger-cli and hoped to have the this month's report available within the next few days using ledger-cli.
Michael thanked the Craigslist Foundation for donating $25,000 each again to SPI's general fund and to PostgreSQL.
Secretary's report
Martin Michlmayr has completed the February minutes, including a summary of the face-to-face meeting in New York.
The board adopted a Conflict of Interest policy in the February meeting. Everyone who attended the face-to-face meeting in New York has completed their conflict of interest declaration. Unfortunately, despite several reminders, some declarations from the other directors are still outstanding.
At the face-to-face meeting in New York, the board agreed to do a member ping. Martin thanked Jonathan McDowell for starting this ping in the meantime.
