20:01 < Hydroxide> Jimmy kaplowitz
20:01 < tridge> Andrew Tridgell
20:01 < tpot> Tim Potter
20:01 < Hydroxide> waiting for one more for quorum
20:01 < Hydroxide> oh good
20:01 < Hydroxide> we can wait a moment for others, but we won't wait long because zobel's sick
20:02 < Hydroxide> (typing up president's report, will send as soon as that's ready)
20:02 < zobel> so far luca and xnox missing, right?
20:02 < tpot> renee perhaps?
20:02 < xnox> Dimitri John Ledkov
20:02  * xnox has tooth ache, and is under pain killers. so fuzzy.
20:03  * Snow-Man is in the middle of nowhere Virginia, though the LTE is pretty strong atm
20:03  * schultmc has a hard stop at 2100 UTC
20:03 < xnox> Do we want an audio/video back-channel?
20:03 < xnox> https://meet.jit.si/spi-board-meeting
20:03  * Snow-Man ping'd Renee via SMS..  not sure she realized that she needed to be on this..
20:03 < xnox> there is us phone number dial in too.
20:03 < schultmc> we already have the back channel via google meet
20:03 < Snow-Man> I can do that if needed
20:04 < Hydroxide> [item 3, President's Report]
20:04 < Hydroxide> During the last month, Martin Michlmayr resigned from the board. We thank him greatly for his service and wish him well in his future activities. He continues to work with us as a contractor. We also started working with Larry Rosenman (ler) as an IT contractor.
20:04 < xnox> schultmc, ah, ok. maybe i should find, join that =)
20:04 < Hydroxide> Last, I'm working with Debian to figure out AWS and Azure accounts for cloud image publication, and with Jenkins and Linux Foundation and our legal counsel to facilitate asset transfers to their new Continuous Delivery Foundation in a way that meets our legal needs.
20:04 < xnox> schultmc, jitsi is like "free" and no logins etc =)
20:04  * xnox is quiete
20:04 < Hydroxide> [item 4, Treasurer's report]
20:04 < Hydroxide> schultmc?
20:04 < zobel> Hydroxide: questions to you first?
20:04  * schultmc waits
20:04 < Hydroxide> ah yes, okay
20:04 < Hydroxide> questions welcome
20:05 < Snow-Man> Renee's trying to join, fyi..
20:05 < zobel> Hydroxide: you have seen that we got a mail from the auditor with an engagement letter?
20:06 < luca> Luca Filipozzi
20:06 < luca> sorry i'm late
20:06 < Hydroxide> zobel: yes. following up with schultmc about that to get his opinion was on my to-do list, but I did at least read the engagement letter and it looks fine if schultmc agrees. I think he can and should be the one to sign it since engaging an auditor is a very Treasurer thing.
20:06 < Hydroxide> I appreciate the ping.
20:07 < Hydroxide> that's a good segue to the treasurer's report item (including schultmc's reaction to the engagement letter), if there are no other questions for me.
20:07  * schultmc was holding off on signing it due to the price change from what was previously discussed but it's still within reason
20:07 < Hydroxide> yeah it's $1k higher than before but still within the original quote
20:07 < Hydroxide> maybe he's estimating conservatively, or maybe he was aggressive before. it may be worth you mentioning the discrepancy to Gary before signing, but I'm fine with either number if you are
20:08 < schultmc> SPI released its 2018 Annual Report and monthly treasurer's reports for January - March, 2019
20:08 < schultmc> Many thanks to Martin Michlmayr for completing the reports and working on streamlining the treasury toolset
20:08 < zobel> also many thanks to luca for the new reimbursement tool he wrote
20:08 < schultmc> we have received a quote from a CPA for auditing SPI's 2018 financials and filing our 2018 federal and New York State tax forms.
20:09 -!- testingsnow [~oftc-webi@2600:1003:b11d:8a28:c95c:e0d6:fa2c:e710] has joined #spi
20:09 -!- testingsnow [~oftc-webi@2600:1003:b11d:8a28:c95c:e0d6:fa2c:e710] has left #spi []
20:09 < luca> zobel: thanks; it's not deployed to production; needs a bit of review by you and schultmc; is missing USD, for example :)
20:09 < schultmc> the quote is slightly higher than the original estimate but still within reason - I can sign the engagement letter this week
20:09 < zobel> luca: i will follow-up later.
20:09 < ler> question?
20:10 -!- ReneeData_ [~oftc-webi@2604:2000:14c4:8477:cd31:93a2:61fe:1c01] has joined #spi
20:10  * ler was wondering if we need to file an extension because of the date?
20:10 < ler> for NYS and US/IRS
20:10 < ReneeData_> Good afternoon
20:10 < schultmc> ler: the CPA will handle that once the engagement letter has been signed
20:10 < Hydroxide> ler: we usually do file extensions, yes. though April is not the deadline for corporations, unlike individuals.
20:10 < ler> Ah!  sorry for the noise.
20:10 < schultmc> corporations have a may 15 deadline without an extension
20:11 < Hydroxide> no worries ler. other questions or comments for schultmc?
20:11 < Hydroxide> hi ReneeData_! we're doing some routine agenda items now, and we'll vote on you as the first of two resolutions
20:12 < Hydroxide> [item 5, Secretary's report]
20:12 < ReneeData_> awesome, if anyone has any questions for me I'm happy to help
20:12 < Hydroxide> tpot?
20:12 < tpot> Voting has concluded on the bylaws vote but I'm frustratingly unable to see the result!
20:12 < Hydroxide> ReneeData_: thanks, we will give a moment for questions at the corresponding agenda item (7.1 at http://www.spi-inc.org/meetings/agendas/2019/2019-04-08/ - we are now at item 5)
20:12 < Hydroxide> can someone quickly get tpot the results without delaying the meeting much?
20:13 < Hydroxide> tpot: in the meantime, any other updates to share?
20:13 < tpot> That's the main Secretary news. We should have a chat (offline?) about the audio line.
20:13 < tpot> .
20:13 < Hydroxide> ok (and agreed)
20:13 < Hydroxide> I suggest we continue with the meeting and return to the bylaws vote in Any other business (item 8) if someone can get the results by then.
20:14 < Hydroxide> [item 6, Outstanding minutes]
20:14 < Hydroxide> tpot: it looks like we have one set to vote on for today, from February 11th?
20:14 < tpot> Yes
20:14 < Hydroxide> any discussion?
20:14 < tpot> http://spi-inc.org/meetings/minutes/2019/2019-02-11/
20:14 < Hydroxide> (proceed to vote if not)
20:14 < zobel> we also need to compile the minutes from the f2f meeting.
20:14 < Hydroxide> yes, agreed zobel 
20:14 < tpot> noted
20:15 < Hydroxide> it's understandable for that to take longer than one cycle.
20:15 < tpot> starting vote in 30s

20:17 < Hydroxide> [item 7.1, Resolution 2019-04-05.jrk.1: Renee Phillips as interim director]
20:17 < Hydroxide> we have ReneeData_ here who volunteered to fill the vacancy created by tbm's resignation, on an interim basis (and possibly longer if she wins election this July)
20:18 < Hydroxide> any questions for her before we vote on the appointment resolution? her appointment as an interim director would take effect at the close of today's meeting.
20:18 < zobel> for those not being present at the f2f in NYC the last two years, we met Renee there twice. she is active in postgresql and i belive she is a good addition to the board.
20:18 < ReneeData_> Hi, I'm here if anyone has any questions for me
20:18 < Snow-Man> I echo zobel's sentiment and agree
20:19 < Hydroxide> ReneeData_: if this is boring, at least it's boring for a positive reason :D
20:19 < Snow-Man> Renee has been quite active with PG over the past few years and would be a welcome addition.
20:19  * schultmc agrees ReneeData_ would be a positive addition to the SPI board

20:25 < Hydroxide> Does anyone have any other business to discuss, and/or can anyone quickly provide us with the bylaws vote results?
20:25 < tpot> I'm dying to know the result of the vote.
20:25  * schultmc has a brief statement
20:25 < Snow-Man> ditto
20:25 < zobel> FTR: we have one more vote open, that is archlinux32.
20:26 < Hydroxide> zobel: that one needs a new resolution to be proposed (I will be able to do this within the next week) due to wording changes discussed on -general
20:26 < Hydroxide> zobel: we can get that polished off at the May meeting, or if there is urgency and 100% unanimity, via email voting.
20:27 < Hydroxide> schultmc: brief statement, go ahead
20:27 < schultmc> SPI has engaged the services of Larry Rosenman (ler) for migrating SPI's IT infrastructure from its current host to various cloud providers. 
20:27 < schultmc> Thank you for his assistance in updating SPI's IT infrastructure
20:27 < Snow-Man> +1
20:28 < Hydroxide> yes, thanks very much ler!
20:28 < Hydroxide> Snow-Man: if your "ditto" meant you had something to say, go ahead. [I realize you may have been expressing interest in the bylaws results.]
20:28 < ler> if anyone has questions, please feel free to ask.
20:28 < Hydroxide> yes, questions welcome for ler too.
20:29 < Hydroxide> one question from me if nobody has anything to say/ask: who do we need to bug to get the bylaws results, even if it can't happen during this meeting? and ideally, how can we get tpot the necessary access for the future?
20:30 < Snow-Man> Hydroxide: mostly about bylaws, but since I have the floor, I did want to assure folks that I've not forgotten about getting the other contractor squared away.  I still haven't found a word document version of the prior agreement though.  I will re-do one based on the PDF if one isn't forthcoming.
20:30 < tpot> yes that would be handy for the director votes in a few months
20:30 < xnox> zobel, i was wondering about archlinux32 as well.
20:31 < tpot> (I just fixed the links in the agenda fo the jan/feb/ma treasurer reports)
20:31 < zobel> tpot: thx
20:31 < Snow-Man> (it wasn't my intent to leave that until this meeting; I've also been traveling extensively with only about a week between my trips since the beginning of March)
20:32 < Hydroxide> I got a reply privately of who to bug (not someone on the board); I will respect choice to tell me privately and I will follow up separately with the indicated person.
20:32 < Hydroxide> other items for Any other business?
20:33 < luca> nyet
20:33 < Snow-Man> +1
20:34 < Hydroxide> [item 9, Next board meeting]
20:34 < Hydroxide> the usual time is May 13th, 2019, 20:00 UTC
20:34 < Hydroxide> does that work for everyone? it's as fine as usual for me.
20:34 < zobel> wfm
20:34 < Snow-Man> wfm
20:34 < schultmc> wfm
20:34 < luca> wfmish
20:34 < Hydroxide> ReneeData_: (that is the same time slot you're attending now)

20:34 < ReneeData_> fine for me
20:35 < Hydroxide> ok, hearing no concerns, we'll next meet at the usual time, May 13, 2019 20:00 UTC. thanks for an efficient and productive meeting everyone!
