Bdale mentioned that he had submitted a request for an SPI BoF at DebConf (to be held in Portland, OR, USA at the end of August).
Jonathan stated that there were 3 seats up for election this year and nominations were open until the close of July 13th. 2 nominations had already been received. Elections were due to open on July 15th if a sufficient number of nominations were received.
Joshua suggested that SPI should look at Hangouts on Air (Google public video conferencing) as a way of getting some more exposure to the wider community. There was some push back about using a non-free system to enable this, and some general queries about whether video conferencing was something that would improve engagement. Several board members indicated they'd have had difficulty attending board meetings in the past if video (or even just audio) conferencing was in use. Edward chipped in to indicate that their could be some benefit in getting the SPI web site better setup with analytics, and getting associated projects to link back to us.
Joerg mentioned that we'd have a graphic designer contact us to do some work, who might be able to help improve the website in general.
