President's report
Martin, Héctor and I are working to prepare to get our 2025 financial statements audited. I am primarily working to assist the Treasury team on processing outstanding requests.
Vice President's report
I'm currently in vacations but if there's anything urgent by all means poke me.
Treasurer's report
Processed payment queue at end of January. There are two or three stalled items, which should be unblocked soon. Also downloaded latest statements and those are being timely processed this month. Thanks Martin for all the help. Visited FOSDEM and met with STF team and also I had chance to met other associated project liasons as well as Celestin. I think it was good, I hope to send email to board about it. I have also started working on improvements as we discussed in the last meeting for improving our donations platform. If you have any urgency, please reach out. Thanks very much for the continuous work of the treasurer team, including president, vice-president and contractors.
Secretary's report
So far, I have only recorded 2026 Conflict of Interest forms from milan, fsf, jconway and myself, and therefore still need them from the remaining 5 directors. If you believe you submitted one to the secretary E-mail address and I've missed it, let me know. If you need help accessing the template (conflicts/exhibit-a in the board-private Git repository), reach out and I'll try to help.
