Any other business
Jimmy reported he'd presented a quick intro to SPI at LISA '12 in San Diego, alongside Josh Berkus. He reported that this was similar in format to the intro at DebConf SPI BOFs, but with an additional slide to explain the reasons for SPI. There was talk about putting the slide deck (and others Bdale has used) up on the SPI website.
Martin said he'd had a conversation with maxx (one of the Debian auditors) about the creation of a European foundation for Open Source projects. They were currently investigating the legal issues and hoped to present details at DebConf13.
Adjournment
The meeting was adjourned until Thursday, January 10th, 2013 at 20:00 UTC in #spi on irc.spi-inc.org.
