GeneralAntillesOK22:05
JaffaHi22:05
GeneralAntillesJaffa chairing?22:05
JaffaAye22:05
JaffaAnyone know how to trigger the meetingbot?22:05
GeneralAntillesYou rock. :)22:05
JaffaI'll do the minutes manually :-)22:06
JaffaWelcome to the annual meeting of Hildon Foundation board. The agenda is at https://etherpad.mozilla.org/4W3nrEzlCL22:06
JaffaWe're going to run a tight agenda. If, at the end of the allocated time, further discussion is required, a person will be appointed to drive it further.22:06
JaffaI propose the following time allocations:22:06
Jaffa0) State of the community (chem|st): 10 mins22:06
Jaffa1) Remaining items from Nokia handover (several): 15 mins22:07
chem|stWe cannot discuss the negotiation with nokia in here - I will quickly send out an email22:07
Win7Machi22:07
Jaffa2) e.V. status (chem|st & Win7Mac): 20 minutes22:07
chem|stso scratch 1)22:07
JaffaLet's discuss that when we get there22:07
Jaffa3) Transferring to the e.V.: 10 minutes22:08
Jaffa4) AOB: 5 minutes22:08
JaffaTimings coming in early would be useful :-)22:08
chem|stor well as they require us to update it on the website it is probably fine to discuss trademark and terms22:08
JaffaAny objections or comments, before we move on to item #0?22:09
JaffaShall we do a rollcall?22:09
JaffaI've seen:22:09
JaffaJaffa - Andrew Flegg22:09
JaffaGeneralAntilles - Ryan Abel22:09
JaffaWin7Mac - Gido Greise22:09
chem|styes we need a rolecall and you need to verify that they are registered/logged in22:09
Jaffachem|st: Ruediger22:10
chem|stSchiller22:10
JaffaTa22:10
JaffaPressed enter too early22:10
JaffaJust capturing /whois output22:10
JaffaWin7Mac: You are not authenticated by NickServ22:11
Win7MacWin7Mac - Gido Greise is correct22:11
chem|stGreise?22:11
Win7Macoh sorry, Griese22:12
JaffaWin7Mac: Can you authenticate with FreeNode via NickServ, please?22:12
chem|stbrb22:13
JaffaWe can proceed with item (0) without Win7Mac being authenticated; but first up is chem|st with "State of the community: Council update"22:14
Jaffachem|st: You have until :20 to complete the update, so if you're not RB you'll get less time.22:16
chem|stre22:16
chem|stok, what is the state22:17
JaffaAny council update on what's happening in the community. There seem to have been a bunch of emails, which would be good to have a short(!) summary of22:18
chem|stthe backup-system donated by ipredator is settled and we have enough space for a while and may always ask for more22:18
chem|stcouncil and confusion about _current_ and _future_ position of council22:18
chem|stWin7Mac triggered a discussion or better declared the need of change to council obligations as there is no nokia anymore22:19
chem|stin short, the _current_ situation is community<->council<->HiFo22:20
JaffaAnd this is being tracked within the organisation of the e.V. member structure?22:21
chem|stthe _future_ changes when transitions to MCeV happen have been brought up and explained22:21
JaffaCool, thanks.22:21
JaffaWe're out of time on that. Is there anything else you'd like to raise - it seems like the discussions are in hand - please do so in response to the minutes going out.22:21
chem|stlike that there is no choice in having a general assembly or what it consists of22:22
Jaffa1) REMAINING ITEMS FROM NOKIA HANDOVER22:22
Jaffa(10 minutes now)22:22
JaffaFirst up, chem|st had a warning earlier about contractuals. But the first, item, 'comms' should be fine22:23
JaffaGeneralAntilles put up http://hildonfoundation.org/updates-on-the-hildon-foundation/22:23
JaffaBut we haven't yet done the joint communication on the signed contract, have we?22:23
GeneralAntillesJust one announcement that should go out in addition to the update already posted.22:23
chem|stTrademarkpages need to be altered (should be fine to discuss that as we are required to change it before we announce)22:23
GeneralAntillesWe have not.22:23
JaffaWho is owning getting the TM pages updated? (Is it really a precursor?)22:24
chem|stwarfare updated the terms for us as non of us has access to the midgard pages22:24
chem|stlast nokia mail said we have to update and I just read the agreement again and we _have to_22:25
Jaffachem|st: Are there other pages which need updating beyond the 'terms'? And what's the timescale on that?22:25
chem|stit is no licensing of the TM it is licensing of maemo.org and change of owner of TM22:25
chem|styes, all /legal/ pages need to reflect HildonFoundation22:26
JaffaIs it just updating the text, or are there registrations with a TM body we need to make *before* the joint announcement?22:26
chem|sttimescale: 9th of may 2014...22:26
Jaffa*Forecast* timescale...22:27
Jaffai.e. are we blocked, or is it just slow?22:27
JaffaAnd if the latter, when will it be done?22:27
chem|stforecast timescale is still yesterday/ASAP22:27
JaffaUnless you have a time machine, the forecast can't be yesterday :-) But point taken.22:28
chem|stone of the native speakers needs to overview all changes22:28
Jaffachem|st: If it's a search & replace as step 1, why?22:28
chem|stthat is why gido and myself are asking for your help for 30+days now via email22:28
JaffaAnd we replied.22:28
chem|stI barely understand that trademark stuff, I even have a hard time with the agreement22:29
JaffaIf you need me to re-review I will do. But at least one of the pages (terms) has been updated, according to the above.22:29
JaffaACTION: chem|st to send out current texts which need review.22:29
JaffaACTION: Jaffa to review22:29
JaffaACTION: chem|st to drive updating of documents after Jaffa review22:30
JaffaFair?22:30
chem|stcurrent texts are on the website, I post a link to the etherpads22:30
JaffaI meant current proposed. Yes, a link to the etherpads for the ones which haven't yet been uplaoded.22:31
chem|stI took care of the other legal pages22:31
chem|stthere are no proposed22:31
JaffaRight.22:32
JaffaSo my review is to do the s/Nokia/Hildon Foundation/22:32
JaffaOnce we've done that, GeneralAntilles can continue with the joint announcement.22:32
JaffaAnything else related to the Nokia handover we want to discuss here?22:33
GeneralAntillesNot from me.22:33
Jaffachem|st: If there's anything else you'd like to raise - please do so in response to the minutes going out.22:33
Jaffa2) e.V. STATUS22:34
Jaffa(11 minutes)22:34
JaffaNow we're getting to the interesting stuff.22:34
chem|stI will contact nemein about server invoices...22:34
chem|steV is registered22:34
Jaffachem|st: Win7Mac: Over to you22:34
JaffaSo it's all fully formed and ready to operate (e.g. we could transfer the Nokia agreement to 'it', if we wanted to)22:35
chem|stwe have no bank account yet as I need to get the bank to accept EU residents as board members, they have online signup only and that is not working for addresses outside of Germany, I contacted support and hope they come back to me tomorrow22:35
chem|styes we can transfer the agreement22:35
Jaffachem|st: If not, is there a mitigation of having one signer in Germany, and then addingf other board members later?22:36
chem|stthat is not about signing authority, all authorized board members need to be listed with the bank account22:37
JaffaDo we want to transfer the agreement before we complete all the various bits with Nokia? Might be easier to wait until it's solely internal22:37
chem|stI guess they will rip our heads off if we try to transfer it now22:38
JaffaThat's my thought22:38
Win7MacHiFo should complete the agreement before transfer IMO22:39
chem|stI asked council for houskeeping on midgard to get the obsolete pages /dev/null'ed and have /intro be the starting page of the MCeV section22:39
chem|stthe intro logo thing has 2Bgone anyways (Nokia logos and stuff)22:39
chem|stI told council that as soon as we have a bank account I will have registration forms available too and draft a proper announcement to the whole community22:41
chem|stfor the _RECORD_ https://www.handelsregister.de/rp_web/search.do22:42
chem|stis a govermental search engine for the DB where Maemo Community e.V. is registered under Rhineland-Palatinate District court Kaiserslautern VR 3056422:43
chem|stso HiFo may start transfering anything but money for now.22:44
chem|stThats about it, questions or next22:46
chem|stWe should probably formaly agree on the transfer of all assets to Maemo Community e.V. (signed emails)22:47
JaffaThanks. That's helpful22:47
Jaffachem|st: So, going back to the account: all board members need to be members of the account, but can they be added afterwards?22:48
Jaffai.e. can we get the bank set up with only German addresses, transfer the money and add the other members afterwards?22:48
JaffaSpecifically, I'm thinking of the timing based on woody's email22:49
JaffaOf first week of September22:49
chem|stthey need to be listed with the bank as board of the registered eV - from what I understand we are legaly required to post that to the bank22:49
chem|stif and only if they be fast this will be covered within craigs timeframe22:50
JaffaAnd they need to be listed at the point the account is opened?22:50
JaffaCool.22:50
chem|sthe can always send a check, I am just unable to hand it in yet22:50
JaffaUnder EU rules of freedom of movement, and freedom of trade of goods & services, they should have to accept EU addresses; so hopefully support can handle it.22:50
JaffaTrue. As long as it's only a week or two gap, a cashier's cheque should be fine.22:51
chem|styea it is the stupid web form and they do not work with paper anymore^^22:51
Jaffa:-)22:51
JaffaOK, thanks. Anything further on this we'll discuss via email.22:51
Jaffa3) TRANSFERRING TO THE e.V.22:52
JaffaWe've covered bank and the Nokia agreement.22:52
JaffaOur HiFo Board term is up.22:52
JaffaOptions are:22:52
Jaffa1) Make some kind of minuted statement that we're hanging on until the handover is complete22:52
Win7Mac+122:53
Jaffa2) A statement that the e.V. Board vote counts in our opinion22:53
Jaffa3) Open a vote for a few weeks22:53
chem|stI'd say 1) and then it is up to you guys, I have no idea what is required in PE to dissolve22:54
JaffaIndeed; which leads on to the second item about dissolving the US HiFo22:54
*** sixwheeledbeast has joined #maemo-meeting22:54
JaffaCraig's got some good details. Obviously the major one is by transferring the assets, the agreement and the money, it's only a shell which should be simple to 'turn off'22:55
chem|stand someone should inform Nokia that MCeV is until the agreement is settled and transfered maintainer for maemo.org under HiFo's hat22:55
JaffaNot sure that's necessary. There's overlap of people. Don't want to confuse matters.22:55
JaffaACTION: Jaffa to raise for discussion on via email22:56
chem|stwe should probably transfer all assets with the contract at once22:56
*** sixwheeledbeast1 has quit IRC22:56
Jaffachem|st: Agreed.      Anything else, we can tackle in response to these minutes going out.22:56
JaffaFinal item, then22:57
Jaffa4) AOB22:57
chem|stcan you spell that out?22:57
JaffaSorry, Any Other Business22:57
JaffaOnly a few minutes. We'll do a round table?22:58
JaffaNothing from me.22:58
JaffaGeneralAntilles: ?22:58
Jaffachem|st: ?22:58
JaffaWin7Mac: ?22:58
chem|stGeneralAntilles: you need to contact freenode staff and get #maemo* under your control and get xfade replaced, aquire Group Contact status for /maemo/22:59
JaffaAcutally, one thing from me - thanks to everyone for their patience and efforts in scheduling this22:59
chem|stsome "year" ago we agreed and you accepted to take over these bits, council was going to take that over as nothing happened from any side23:00
JaffaDo you want it to be GeneralAntilles? Or should it be the council, or someone in the e.V.?23:01
chem|styou may either try contacting xfade or you wave your board hat @ freenode23:01
JaffaACTION: GeneralAntilles and chem|st to discuss via email.23:01
chem|stI expect GeneralAntilles to join the e.V. as soon as I have the forms, and he was one person we could get Doc to agree to23:02
JaffaI see23:02
chem|stI expect you to join too23:02
