Vote on 2012-05-25.rtb.1: FFmpeg as SPI associated project
The was some discussion about the concerns Ian Jackson raised about the wording of the resolution. The general feeling was that if this was a problem it was with the resolution template rather than specific to FFmpeg.

Any other business
The upcoming election was discussed; both Jonathan and Michael's terms are expiring this year, meaning there are 2 seats available. Martin has agreed to run the voting process this year. Joshua's recent lack of attendance came up, as it has prevented us making quorum on occasion. Jonathan agreed to contact him to make sure he was receiving meeting notices ok. No progress has been made on cleaning up the active membership list. There was an outstanding request from Debian for financial audit information. Michael was working on it and was going to provide an initial subset of the information to help them get moving.
Adjournment
The meeting was adjourned until Thursday, July 12th, 2012 at 20:00 UTC in #spi on irc.spi-inc.org.
