chem|stI made Jollausers admin aware of breaking CC license, one way it was advertising maemo.org but now they get referrals on facebook for jollasuomi forums or even post it that way themselves - the website is standard (C) which is wrong as well.17:03

chem|stso I tried carol several times now in 3 weeks without response, I asked carsten for another contact but he was in a meeting and did not get back to me22:01
juicemeseems they are really busy now22:01
chem|stwe have progress on the German e.V. front and are sorting things out these coming weeks22:02
chem|stwiki has been updated accordingly and a post in tmo has been made22:02
chem|stminutes should reflect that with links22:03
Win7Mac:)22:03
juicemeI saw there was a call of german-speaking people as the founders, did you already got enough?22:03
chem|sthttp://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=9253622:03
chem|stand in wiki under Hifo is a new entry from today22:04
Win7Macto get the 7 for the founding-meeting is no real problem, we need contributers for the bylaws22:04
juicemetransaltion to german?22:04
juicemes/transaltion/translation/22:04
chem|sthttp://wiki.maemo.org/Hildon_Foundation/Hildon_e.V.22:04
chem|sttranslation into english22:05
Win7MacI'd prefer to do it german and translate to english to meet "german standards"22:05
chem|stor both actually as we want to adapt the current bylaws as good as possible22:05
chem|stall that will need a community vote in the end22:06
chem|stboard is missing out on talking to nokia and nokia has not replied to the previous attempt22:07
chem|stthat's it on that for now22:07
chem|stnext on my list is neo900 hackfest/coding marathon and Maemo Regatta22:08
juicemedoes the migration from US-foundation to German-eV cnage that in any way?22:08
juicemethe Nokia thingy, I mena?22:08
chem|stI put a formal request of support fwd to HiFo board22:08
chem|styeah we need to make sure that hifo is actually allowed to pass the agreement/contract down to the new e.V.22:09
juicemeokay22:09
chem|stif we don't do that we might end up calling microsoft for it in the end and I doubt that will do any good22:10
chem|stwe need to get this closed but the nokia folks are already absorbed by transition22:10
chem|stin about a month or so you wont be able to catch any of them anymore22:11
chem|stfor some month or so22:11
chem|stso still open is funding/sponsorship of said competitions and closure of nokia22:13
chem|stI think a fundraiser for said competitions might work, but without a working paypal we are down to bitcoin, SEPA and international wire transfer22:14
juicemeall of those are OK for some people, but paypal is often preferred22:15
chem|stand raising funds on a private account is for all I know by now illegal, another reason we should push things fwd with the e.V.22:15
juicemeok, I did not know that22:15
chem|stme neither until I got some stuff to read about treasuremanagement in germany22:16
chem|stthe treasurer is not allowed to handle any funds with a private bank account22:17
chem|stas all funds have to be accessible by allowed persons at all times (law is stupid as a cash holding of funds is legal if separated from my own funds...)22:18
chem|stthe funds thing will become easy and transparent as soon as we are officially registered and stuff but no second earlier22:19
juicemeI guess the laws just have to be written so that potential tax evasion & fraud can be minimized...22:20
juicemeI need to be going, AOB?22:28
*** GeneralAntilles has joined #maemo-meeting22:30
chem|stnothing to add22:30
chem|sthey GeneralAntilles22:30
GeneralAntillesHowdy22:30
chem|stwho will fill in the missing secretary pos for now?22:31
Win7MacHi GeneralAntilles!22:32
GeneralAntillesGood question.22:32
juicemebye, till next time...22:33
chem|stbye22:33
Win7Macpreferrably someone in the US...22:38
GeneralAntillesPresumably I'm probably the best alternative given the tasks everybody else is shouldering.22:38
Win7Macthat would actually be great!22:39
GeneralAntillesHowever, I distinctly lack expertise in this area.22:39
chem|stwell we need someone with physical access to US grounds to kick some banksters asses and stuff22:40
Win7MacI'm sure our ex will help22:41
GeneralAntillesWell, the financial entities we've been dealing with so far are both regional.22:41
GeneralAntillesNeither Andrew nor myself have physical access to them.22:42
chem|styes but if woody wants to get rid of it we need to have the funds transfered to a new hifo account under control22:42
chem|stpreferably not a regional22:42
Win7MacWoody may close the account and send the check to any of us 4. The receiver could simply hold it until new account for e.V. is set up and forward it to new treasurer or secretary?22:54
*** Jaffa has joined #maemo-meeting22:55
sixwheeledbeasto/22:55
Win7MacHe even may hold the account until takedown of US foundation and handle taxes, if we designate him22:56
Win7MacHi Jaffa! o/22:57
sixwheeledbeastI have a small topic for CC when you are not busy.23:00
chem|stsixwheeledbeast: shoot it... CC meeting is over for 30min but ok23:01
sixwheeledbeastsorry I have only just sat down from work.23:02
sixwheeledbeastit's RE tracker-cfg package. It's in extras-testing with 12+ votes and no maintainer, I asked if it is possible to promote? fmg said CC would have to decide.23:05
sixwheeledbeasthttp://maemo.org/packages/view/tracker-cfg/23:06
chem|sttechstaff@ or sysops@m.o is where to go... someone just has to promote it...23:16
GeneralAntillesSo shall I just go ahead and take on the role of secretary?23:17
sixwheeledbeastok I can e-mail techstaff if that's the preferred method. I suppose any repo maintainer could promote if CC gave the thumbs up.23:20
DocScrutinizer05ok to promote, so 2 of 3 nodded off23:24
Win7Mac2/4 actually...23:25
Win7MacJaffa: ^^23:27
