Any other business
David mentioned that OFTC were in the midst of their annual elections. Jonathan pointed out that PgWest was on at the start of November. Bdale commented that he'd spoken to Bradley Kuhn of the conservancy and congratulated him on his soon-to-be paid exec director role there. The relationship between SPI and the conservancy is good and both parties wish to keep it that way and point projects at whichever is the better "hosting organisation".
Adjournment
The meeting was adjourned until Wednesday, November 10th, 2010 at 20:00 UTC in #spi on irc.spi-inc.org.

Appendix B: Resolutions
2010-10-11.jmd.1: Recognition of sidux name change
WHEREAS
1. sidux is an existing associated SPI project (as per 2009-11-27.jmd.2)
2. sidux has parted ways with sidux e.V. and as a result renamed the
project to aptosid to avoid issues over the sidux name.
3. The aptosid development team remains unchanged from sidux and the
sidux website indicates that the renaming has taken place.
THE SPI BOARD RESOLVES THAT
3. SPI recognises the name change of the sidux project from aptosid
and will update its records accordingly.
4. Ferdinand Thommes continues to be recognised as the current
authoritative decision maker and SPI liaison for aptosid. In the event
of the liaison becoming unavailable Trevor Walkley will act as temporary
liaison and notify SPI of any replacement liaison.
