2026-06-08 20:05:09	schultmc	fungi?
2026-06-08 20:06:19	fungi	Drizzle project maintainers have resumed development activity. Monty Taylor reached out to me personally for an informal discussion about resuming its project association, and since Drizzle was previously associated with SPI I agreed to serve as a board sponsor.

2026-06-08 20:07:37	fungi	thanks!
2026-06-08 20:08:12	fungi	quoting from the resolution peamble, "Drizzle is a substantial and significant free/libre open source software project providing a lightweight database for the cloud, focusing on simplicity and pluggability. Drizzle would like SPI's support and assistance, including accepting donations, holding funds, paying for project expenses, holding intangible assets, accounting, and auditing."
2026-06-08 20:08:14	zumbi	(joining from phone, as laptop is taking long time for a boot update)
2026-06-08 20:08:43	fsf	Are we good to vote for Drizzle, or would folks like a bit more time?
2026-06-08 20:08:52	schultmc	I'm good to vote
2026-06-08 20:08:57	mappx	same
2026-06-08 20:09:03	fungi	yeah, unless there are questions i didn't have any more to say
2026-06-08 20:09:19	jesusalva	They originally associated in 2011 and were deemed defunct in 2019
2026-06-08 20:09:36	jesusalva	Monty Taylor, who reached out, is cited in the original association resolution of 2011
2026-06-08 20:09:45	jesusalva	I have no questions. I'm ready to vote as well.

2026-06-08 20:10:40	schultmc	[item 9, Any other business]
2026-06-08 20:10:41	fungi	i'll follow up with the invite by e-mail once i've published the official copy of the resolution
2026-06-08 20:10:41	schultmc	Anything to discuss?
2026-06-08 20:10:53	fungi	i didn't have anything else
2026-06-08 20:11:04	jesusalva	Note: I don't know if we still have Drizzle trademark
2026-06-08 20:11:07	jesusalva	We let a few of them expire
2026-06-08 20:11:30	jesusalva	schultmc: Hector/zumbi began discussion to verify the possibility of a venue for the F2F
2026-06-08 20:11:31	fungi	i believe the trademark expired, though we're still holding the drizzle.org domain registration which they've indicated a desire to resume using
2026-06-08 20:11:35	jesusalva	He'll keep us posted
2026-06-08 20:12:09	jesusalva	I tried to summarize the topics in the GitLab issue in something resembling a schedule, to have an idea of how long it might take
2026-06-08 20:12:18	fungi	thanks!
2026-06-08 20:12:26	jesusalva	If anyone has a topic for F2F, please let fungi know, or add to the GitLab issue directly
2026-06-08 20:12:40	fungi	yes, i'm happy to serve as a meatspace-to-git proxy
2026-06-08 20:13:24	fungi	er, gitLAB i guess since we're not assembling the agenda in the repo yet
2026-06-08 20:13:32	fungi	(but will be eventually)
2026-06-08 20:13:43	jesusalva	I have nothing else, given we already reported Gitlab status from previous meeting via email
2026-06-08 20:13:51	jesusalva	And I already asked schultmc about missing contracts
2026-06-08 20:13:59	jesusalva	Err contract renewals*
2026-06-08 20:14:06	zumbi	agenda is so long, that we are looking for a full week Mon to Fri/Sat meeting, right?
2026-06-08 20:14:31	jesusalva	Basically five days, yes
2026-06-08 20:14:52	jesusalva	But if there's nothing extra to be added, maybe we could get away with sunday-thursday or saturday-wednesday
2026-06-08 20:15:05	fungi	so for in-person travel there would be a need for a venue for a full work week
2026-06-08 20:15:05	jesusalva	(Depending on venue availability)
2026-06-08 20:15:08	zumbi	Do we need everybody all days?
2026-06-08 20:15:46	fsf	Re: scheduling, NB the Nov 26-27 American holiday. It will make travel from the states (more) insane. The dates being considered do not coincide with holiday travel IIRC, but I'd rather say something useless than it not be said :)
2026-06-08 20:15:58	jesusalva	Depends a bit on how we divide the subjects, there are at least 3 days worth of stuff which need the whole board
2026-06-08 20:16:08	fungi	i'm free to join all days, but probably won't be able to attend in the flesh (i almost said "corporeally" but didn't want to make anyone break out a dictionary)
2026-06-08 20:16:13	schultmc	FYI our Drizzle trademark was cancelled https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/search/search-results/85694605
2026-06-08 20:16:31	fungi	thanks for confirming, schultmc!
2026-06-08 20:16:40	jesusalva	I think it is better to plan for directors and officers to be present all days, and contractors on selected days
2026-06-08 20:16:47	fsf	fungi: or a ouija board
2026-06-08 20:17:14	fungi	if drizzle wants the trademark again, they'll wait to request filing an application until they have some funds built up anyway
2026-06-08 20:18:15	schultmc	[item 10, Next board meeting]
2026-06-08 20:18:15	schultmc	The next board meeting is scheduled for: July 13, 2026 at 2000 UTC.
2026-06-08 20:18:17	schultmc	Any objections?
2026-06-08 20:18:25	schultmc	wfm
2026-06-08 20:18:26	fungi	i'm available
2026-06-08 20:18:28	mappx	wfm
2026-06-08 20:18:38	fsf	should be ok for me
