		+
		+	On April 21, 2006, at 8:00 am Pacific time, pursuant to notice duly given, the Board of Directors
		+	(the "Board") of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (the "Foundation" or "OSGeo") held a
		+	meeting by teleconference.
		+
		+	Present at the meeting were the following members of the Board: Chris Holmes, Dave
		+	McIllhagga, Frank Warmerdam, Jo Walsh and Gary Lang. The following directors were absent
		+	at the commencement of the meeting: Markus Neteler, Arnulf Christl, Venkatesh Raghavan and
		+	Mark Lucas. Messrs. Neteler and Christl joined the meeting in progress via IRC. Also present at
		+	the request of the Board were Daniel Brookshier, VP Website Committee, and Richard Steele,
		+	legal counsel and secretary to the Foundation. All participants indicated that they could hear one
		+	another. Additionally, Internet Relay Chat was used for backup purposes (#osgeo on

		+	present, Mr. McIllhagga called the meeting to order. Mr. Steele was appointed secretary of the
		+	meeting.
		+
		+	APPROVAL OF MINUTES
		+
		+	The Board first approved by general consent the minutes of the meeting held on March 31, 2006.
		+
		+	RSS FEEDS
		+
		+	The Board briefly discussed the status of establishing RSS feeds for Foundation news events and
		+	other postings. The board reviewed the current RSS page and discussed several enhancements.
		+	Daniel Brookshier took the responsibility to better aggregate OSGeo information and to

		+
		+	The Board next discussed the possibility of conducting a face-to-face incubation "sprint"
		+	meeting. The discussion then moved towards a general sprint meeting to address broader issues,
		+	focusing on the priorities list circulated among the board members. It was proposed to have a
		+	general Foundation meeting, with board and committee heads/key members present, around the
		+	end of May or beginning of June, in Chicago.
		+
		+	PUBLICITY
		+
		+	The Board next turned to the topic of publicity for OSGeo and its various projects. Gary Lang
		+	noted that visibility and demonstration of tangible progress will be important in attracting a
		+	following and sponsorship for the Foundation. Several possible PR opportunities were discussed,
		+	including press releases for projects graduating from the incubator, work on the OSGeo "stack"
		+	and work with open standards. The Promotion and Visibility Committee (Dave McIllhagga
		+	representing) was tasked with coming up with a list of PR deliverables by the next Board
		+	meeting.
		+
		+	LOGO CONTEST
		+
		+	Daniel Brookshier next presented to the Board the various submissions received for the OSGeo
		+	logo contest. Upon motion made and seconded, it was resolved that WebCom present the logo
		+	submissions to the broader OSGeo community for vote.

		+
		+	The Board next discussed forming a Project Steering Committee (PSC) for a System

		+
		+	WHEREAS, the Bylaws of the Foundation permit the Board to establish Project Steering
		+	Committees (PSCs); and the Board deems it to be in the best interests of the Foundation and
		+	consistent with the Foundation's purpose to establish a PSC.
		+
		+	NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that a Project Steering Committee, to be known as the
		+	"System Administration Project Steering Committee" (SysAdmin PSC), be and hereby is
		+	established pursuant to Article VI of Bylaws of the Foundation;
		+

		+	the Foundation relating to the administration of the Foundation's IT and computer systems other
		+	than those maintained by CollabNet;
		+
		+	RESOLVED FURTHER, that the office of "Vice President, System Adminstration Project" be
