20:09 < schultmc> [item 7.1 Resolution 2025-03-10.js.1: Remove Fluxbox as an Associated Project]
20:09 < schultmc> fungi?
20:09 < Jesusalva[m]> I'm abstaining because it says "the condition was not met" ftr
20:09 < fungi> based on research performed by kassia into the various projects who had not engaged in annual reporting, it appeared that fluxbox was long inactive
20:10 < fungi> i reached out to the liaison, who confirmed this to be the case
20:10 < Jesusalva[m]> Also, because it didn't mention the Board approved me to ask the attorney to go ahead with producing Model C required legal documents for an eventual vote
20:10 < Jesusalva[m]> (sorry fungi please continue)
20:10 < fungi> so i'm moving that we disassociate fluxbox from spi
20:10 < fungi> no worries Jesusalva[m]
20:10 < zv> Vote for 2025-03-10.js.1: Remove Fluxbox. Permitted to vote: { schultmc fungi zv mappx milan jconway zumbi Jesusalva[m] }

20:11 < schultmc> [item 7.2 Resolution 2025-03-10.js.2: Remove Aptosid as an Associated Project]
20:11 < schultmc> fungi?
20:12 < fungi> similar research indicated aptosid was long inactive, so i attempted to reach out to their liaison, but the domain for their e-mail address was no longer registered
20:12 < fungi> as such, i'm moving that we disassociate aptosid from spi
20:12 < schultmc> aptosid.com mentions a release on 2013-01 (i.e. over 12 years ago)
20:12 < zv> Vote for 2025-03-10.js.2: Remove Aptosid. Permitted to vote: { schultmc fungi zv mappx milan jconway zumbi Jesusalva[m] }
20:12 < milan> !vote yes
20:12 < schultmc> !vote yes
20:12 < jconway> !vote yes
20:12 < zv> !vote yes
20:12 < mappx> !vote yes

20:13 < zv> Voting closed. 7 yes. 1 abstain. 0 no. 0 absent.
20:13 < schultmc> [item 8, Any other business]
20:13 < schultmc> Anything to discuss?
20:13 < Jesusalva[m]> FTR, I abstained because as the liaison couldn't be contacted, I don't feel neither favorable nor against it
20:14 < Jesusalva[m]> schultmc: sec
20:14 < Jesusalva[m]> Our legal counsel has started producing the documents required for a possible Model C sponsorship.
20:15 < Jesusalva[m]> I'm probably behind other stuff, lmk if there's anything urgent
20:15 < Jesusalva[m]> </done>
20:15 < fungi> just want to apologize for takiong so long to get around to responding to requests for project association, i'm at the point where i seem to be able to handle about one per week again. preparing to reply to another request, but there are several more outstanding (as well as a couple of contributing member requests i need to look at)
20:15 < Jesusalva[m]> I think they're also project applications 
20:15 < Jesusalva[m]> Just sent in the wrong place
20:16 < fungi> those seem to be coming through in increasing volume this year
20:18 < schultmc> Jesusalva[m] thank you for working with counsel to formalize possible model C sponsorship.
20:18 < schultmc> Anything else to discuss?
20:20 < schultmc> [item 9, Next board meeting]
