- 15:00 Meeting starts
- 15:04 MOTION: approve past meeting's minutes: 5 votes in favour, motion passed
- 15:06 Treasurer report from Mike Smith
- the new OSGeo US account has been established, Daniel Morissette has successfully transferred the first $50K USD to the new account
- FOSS4G Portland have the new account information, so they can transfer to the new account
- We have received an invoice from FOSS4G-NA for the amount that was set aside from previous FOSS4G-NA to be rolled forward
- (15:16) $22K USD that was earmarked by FOSS4G-NA. 1/2 went to OSGeo and 1/2 back to next FOSS4G-NA
- Working out some issues with online access, but Mike will provide that money to FOSS4G-NA when he gets the online access (or will send a check)
- FOSS4G (international South Korea) has requested seed money from OSGeo (which has been previously approved by the board) - money has been sent by Daniel
- Still waiting on the new OSGeo credit card, Mike needs to follow up with the bank
- All 990's were all received and accepted by the IRS
- 15:21 Total OSGeo bank account: ~$250K USD, with $22K USD set to go for FOSS4G-NA, $100K set to come from FOSS4G Portland, $40K USD just sent to FOSS4G Seoul
- 15:24 FOSS4G Seoul update
- Jeff reports that Seoul LOC has signed the contract with local PCO (professional conference organizer), MECI int'l. http://en.meci.co.kr/, he has requested a copy of contract for OSGeo records
- signed seed money agreement has been archived by the OSGeo Secretary
- Jeff specifies that he acts as Board liaison with Seoul LOC, and is following their progress regularly.
- 15:32 FOSS4G 2016 update
- received 2 bids (letters of interest): from Bonn, Germany and Dublin, Ireland
- Conference committee is alive and well, but the lack of an active chair is cause of worry
- Conference committee will publish its decision on which bids shall go to next step (full proposal) on Monday
- There is a lengthy discussion about who shall collect the votes of Conference Committee: shall not be also a Board member, so none of Jorge, Vasile or Jachym
- The Board reaches agreement over Michael Gerlek (mpg) as a good candidate, Jeff will contact him and propose him to Conference Committee
- 15:53 Budget 2015
- The discussion focuses on SAC issues, that need a champion who talks with both Board and SAC and pushes for solving current issues
- Budget 2015 needs a champion too, to write the draft. Vasile proposes to work on this.
- 16:04 Select next meeting's date/time
- Thursday 12th is problematic for several members. Vasile sets up a Doodle poll for date choice.
