21:05 #spi: < cdlu> this is the last meeting before the election 21:05 #spi: < cdlu> is everything on track? 21:05 #spi: < Noodles> I have appropriate access to the DB and the web interface, so I think so. 21:05 #spi: < cdlu> ok 21:05 #spi: < cdlu> and july 1 is the annual report 21:05 #spi: < cdlu> is that started? 21:06 #spi: < bdale> I've done nothing about it so far 21:06 #spi: < bdale> pulling together highlights from the last years minutes and a copy of our latest treasurer's report should suffice? 21:07 #spi: < cdlu> yep, and a report from all committee 21:07 #spi: < cdlu> s 21:07 #spi: < Hydroxide> bdale: in theory it should have 12-month financials instead of 1-month. in theory. 21:07 #spi: < cdlu> if we have any that are doing anything... membership would probably be it 21:07 #spi: < Noodles> We can /just/ get away with the AGM on the 14th according to the by-laws. 21:07 #spi: < cdlu> and we can also ask for contributions from all member projects 21:07 #spi: < zobel> next regular meeting is July 14th? 21:07 #spi: < cdlu> if they have any statement to make 21:07 #spi: < Hydroxide> the bylaws would have details 21:07 #spi: < cdlu> zobel, no it's july 1 -- annual meeting. 21:07 #spi: < schultmc> I can aggregate financials into 12-month 21:07 #spi: < bdale> every time we've planned something more grandiose we've failed to deliver 21:07 #spi: < zobel> cdlu: yes, but the one after that. 21:08 #spi: < cdlu> zobel, next one normally wouldn't be until following the election when we select officers and introduce the new board... in august 21:08 #spi: < bdale> the next regular monthly meeting would be the 14th 21:08 #spi: < cdlu> we don't normally have two in july iirc 21:08 #spi: < Noodles> By-laws say up to 2 weeks from the 1st of July. 21:08 #spi: < cdlu> Noodles, if moved by a holiday 21:08 #spi: < bdale> I will not be available on the 1st, so as is our custom I'm inclined to ask that we consider rescheduling the annual meeting to coincide with our next regular monthly meeting on the 14th 21:08 #spi: < cdlu> Canada Day fits :) 21:08 #spi: < cdlu> bdale, I'd be amenable to that 21:08 #spi: * Noodles doesn't mind either way. 21:09 #spi: < bdale> that's within two weeks and avoids the holiday(s) 21:09 #spi: < cdlu> july 14 works better for me anyway so that's fine. but annual meeting is meant to be the first, all I was trying to say. 21:09 #spi: < cdlu> bdale, yep 21:09 #spi: * zobel won't be available on July 14th. 21:09 #spi: < bdale> I don't think we currently have any French board members, so landing on Bastille Day should be ok? 21:09 #spi: < bdale> ;-) 21:10 #spi: < bdale> ok, anyway... 21:10 #spi: < bdale> [item 8, Next board meeting] 21:10 #spi: < bdale> Our next regularly-scheduled monthly meeting should be July 14th at 20:00 UTC. 21:10 #spi: < bdale> Any strong objections?
