+Dec 15 14:00:08 <NeddySeagoon> Roll call
+Dec 15 14:00:34 <NeddySeagoon> dabbott, SwifT quantumsummers|c
+Dec 15 14:00:36 <dabbott> I'm logging too, present
+Dec 15 14:00:50 <NeddySeagoon> SwifT, said he may not make it
+Dec 15 14:00:51 <SwifT> make it just in time
+Dec 15 14:00:52 <quantumsummers|c> hello
+Dec 15 14:00:52 <dabbott> SwifT: said he is on the road
+Dec 15 14:01:01 <SwifT> just have to take my coat off
+Dec 15 14:01:09 <dabbott> sorry SwifT hello :)
+Dec 15 14:01:13 <SwifT> np
+Dec 15 14:01:23 <NeddySeagoon> We have a quorum - lets start
+Dec 15 14:01:24 <SwifT> and I still drove within the limits :p
+Dec 15 14:01:30 * quantumsummers|c may have to run off to manage kids from time to time
+Dec 15 14:02:00 <dabbott> hi quantumsummers|c Betelgeuse o/
+Dec 15 14:02:14 <NeddySeagoon> Foundation Activity Tracker - looks like everything is up to date
+Dec 15 14:02:48 <NeddySeagoon> dabbott, Quarterly Financial Statements ...
+Dec 15 14:03:17 <dabbott> I put together that wiki page for review, is this what we want to do?
+Dec 15 14:03:41 <dabbott> if it is just need the numbers to proceed
+Dec 15 14:03:57 <NeddySeagoon> dabbott, looks good to me. Do yo intend to bigrate the history?
+Dec 15 14:04:07 <quantumsummers|c> working on packaging them now dabbott
+Dec 15 14:04:09 <NeddySeagoon> migrate*
+Dec 15 14:04:09 <dabbott> yes
+Dec 15 14:04:27 <dabbott> quantumsummers|c: sounds good :)
+Dec 15 14:05:09 <NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers|c, your turn ... Treasurer Report (I missed that)
+Dec 15 14:06:47 * SwifT guesses one of his kids ran off ;)
+Dec 15 14:07:24 <dol-sen> if he says we have $15M, I change my mind about that desk ;)
+Dec 15 14:07:26 <NeddySeagoon> looks lke quantumsummers|c is rounding up children ... Swift your turn Gentoo Trademark License Agreement
+Dec 15 14:07:33 <quantumsummers|c> well we dont have that
+Dec 15 14:07:46 <SwifT> quantumsummers|c: the floor is yours
+Dec 15 14:08:23 <quantumsummers|c> gonna have to come back .. runs
+Dec 15 14:08:34 <SwifT> ok, i'll do a bit on the trademark license then
+Dec 15 14:08:45 <SwifT> I wrote up a new text based on the django one and sent it to you guys
+Dec 15 14:08:46 <NeddySeagoon> hes outnumbered :)
+Dec 15 14:09:01 <SwifT> i have a few things I'm not certain about, mentioned as notes in the document
+Dec 15 14:09:35 <SwifT> the most important one is to know if the new license has at least the same things are the current one
+Dec 15 14:10:02 <SwifT> if it does, then there is no issue with people/orgnizations that based the name/logo usage on the previous (well, current ;-) license
+Dec 15 14:10:03 <NeddySeagoon> SwifT, I only have some trivia ... but I'm nervous about the council representing Gentoo
+Dec 15 14:10:28 <SwifT> I could drop that part; Django had something like that so I just copied ;)
+Dec 15 14:11:13 <NeddySeagoon> We can say that existing licenced activities are not affcted
+Dec 15 14:11:57 <SwifT> so keep the current one (albeit with a marking that it is no longer applicable to new applications) and refer to it for the previous applications (that predate the new license)
+Dec 15 14:12:28 <SwifT> should we incorporate some timing in the license? Like ask applicants to check on a yearly basis if there are updates to it?
+Dec 15 14:12:30 <NeddySeagoon> It saves having to validate that old and new are compatible
+Dec 15 14:13:56 <SwifT> a second question I have is if we should discuss the license on -nfp or -project before going live?
+Dec 15 14:14:19 <NeddySeagoon> That souns overy onourous - wolud we really expect licencees to change? Users should consult the licence at each use
+Dec 15 14:15:11 <SwifT> it would help us that we don't need to keep older licenses at hand for eternity
+Dec 15 14:15:13 <NeddySeagoon> Discuss on -nfp and post an announce on -project
+Dec 15 14:16:02 <NeddySeagoon> Are we really going to say "you can't do that any more" ?
+Dec 15 14:16:08 <SwifT> most licenses are time-bound, but that is not that common in the free software world (more in propriatary one)
+Dec 15 14:16:28 <NeddySeagoon> How oten is the licence likely to change?
+Dec 15 14:16:34 <SwifT> it's more to handle misinterpretations better
+Dec 15 14:16:45 <NeddySeagoon> agreed
+Dec 15 14:16:46 <SwifT> at the pace we do it, it'll be somewhere in 2038 when Unix time changes ;)
+Dec 15 14:17:12 <SwifT> otoh, we do already have an "interpretation" clause in it
+Dec 15 14:17:23 <SwifT> "The Gentoo Foundation reserves the right to determine if a usage of the Gentoo trademark meets the requirements and standards of this license. "
+Dec 15 14:17:51 <NeddySeagoon> If it came to the "you can't do that any more" we would probably offer an exception anyway, which is just another licence
+Dec 15 14:18:02 <NeddySeagoon> yep
+Dec 15 14:18:29 <SwifT> so, to deal with the few notes I had:
+Dec 15 14:18:44 <NeddySeagoon> dabbott, Betelgeuse your thoughts ?
+Dec 15 14:18:51 <SwifT> (1.) Gentoo-related software projects: does this apply to us?
+Dec 15 14:19:03 <SwifT> You may use the Gentoo name in the form "Gentoo-foo" or "foo-Gentoo" in any software project that can be used to augment or extend the capabilities of official Gentoo project software, provided that:
+Dec 15 14:19:06 <dabbott> looks fine to me
+Dec 15 14:19:07 <SwifT> The project is distributed under the terms of an OSI-approved open source license;
+Dec 15 14:19:10 <SwifT> The website for the project does not imply that it is official or otherwise endorsed by the Gentoo Foundation, or by the Gentoo Council as representatives of the Gentoo project.
+Dec 15 14:19:24 <SwifT> no objections to keep it in?
+Dec 15 14:20:07 <NeddySeagoon> or by the Gentoo Council as representatives of the Gentoo project. is not good as the council has no legal stats
+Dec 15 14:20:12 <NeddySeagoon> status.
+Dec 15 14:20:23 <SwifT> yes, i'll drop the references to the council in the document
+Dec 15 14:20:32 <NeddySeagoon> thanks
+Dec 15 14:20:36 <SwifT> (2.) Other commercial activity: You may not use the Gentoo name in the registered name of any company that offers Gentoo project related services.
+Dec 15 14:20:39 <SwifT> You may not incorporate the Gentoo name or logo into the name of any product to be sold by a commercial entity when that product or entity is Gentoo project related.
+Dec 15 14:21:13 <SwifT> ok to keep that in?
+Dec 15 14:21:33 <NeddySeagoon> The Gentoo Foundation is properly called The Gentoo Foundation Inc.
+Dec 15 14:21:49 <NeddySeagoon> wfm
+Dec 15 14:21:49 <SwifT> ok, will add the "Inc" part to it
+Dec 15 14:22:00 <SwifT> is it "The Gentoo Foundation Inc." or "The Gentoo Foundation, Inc." ?
+Dec 15 14:22:13 <NeddySeagoon> the former
+Dec 15 14:22:44 <SwifT> ok
+Dec 15 14:23:26 <dabbott> yep GENTOO FOUNDATION, INC thats in NM
+Dec 15 14:23:57 <dabbott> https://portal.sos.state.nm.us/corps/Corplookup/Lookdn.aspx
+Dec 15 14:23:58 <NeddySeagoon> I did not do a proper compare with the old terms of use, but I did not see any clashes
+Dec 15 14:24:02 <SwifT> ok then, i'll update the document and first send it to trustees@gentoo.org and after a few days, if there are no further remarks, see if the community has any feedback on the gentoo-nfp@g.o mailinglist.
+Dec 15 14:24:09 <Betelgeuse> SwifT: can we get a link to your draft for the logs
+Dec 15 14:24:16 <SwifT> sure: http://dev.gentoo.org/~swift/tmp/gentoo-trademark.xml
+Dec 15 14:24:52 <SwifT> after gentoo-nfp discussion we'll see by mail if we can move it to the site immediately, or if it needs another discussion on IRC, k?
+Dec 15 14:25:10 <SwifT> dabbott: do hey always shout there? ;)
+Dec 15 14:25:12 <dabbott> sounds good thanks SwifT
+Dec 15 14:25:28 <NeddySeagoon> yep
+Dec 15 14:25:33 <NeddySeagoon> As quantumsummers|c is still MIA, lets move onto bugs
+Dec 15 14:25:34 <Betelgeuse> SwifT: sounds like a good plan
+Dec 15 14:25:59 <Betelgeuse> SwifT: when posting to the ml, let's list clearly the motivation too
+Dec 15 14:26:17 <NeddySeagoon> https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=492386
+Dec 15 14:26:28 <SwifT> Betelgeuse: k, i'll send it to trustees@g.o to make sure I have it in ;)
+Dec 15 14:26:36 <NeddySeagoon> bug 492386
+Dec 15 14:26:37 <willikins> NeddySeagoon: https://bugs.gentoo.org/492386 "Fund the setup of an opensource chocolate to use at conventions"; Gentoo Foundation, Proposals; CONF; dabbott:trustees
+Dec 15 14:27:12 <NeddySeagoon> I vote No - its not a good use of funds
+Dec 15 14:27:16 <SwifT> i don't think chocolate is a good PR investment for us
+Dec 15 14:27:30 <NeddySeagoon> dabbott, Betelgeuse
+Dec 15 14:27:31 <dabbott> I vote no, stickers, dvd's, t-shirts even but no to food
+Dec 15 14:28:07 <dabbott> I would go for funding a dinner
+Dec 15 14:28:07 <NeddySeagoon> Thats 3 Nos ... Betelgeuse quantumsummers|c ?
+Dec 15 14:28:26 <Betelgeuse> Thought that doesn't seem to be directly the chocolate
+Dec 15 14:29:32 <NeddySeagoon> I've lost a bug ...
+Dec 15 14:29:47 <Betelgeuse> well directly as in directly buying chocolate
+Dec 15 14:30:24 <Betelgeuse> I vote yes and let's move on
+Dec 15 14:30:34 <Betelgeuse> (it could be an ok item for our web shop etc.)
+Dec 15 14:30:43 <dabbott> NeddySeagoon: I closed the bug for dolsen it here https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=493344
+Dec 15 14:30:47 <Betelgeuse> buying the produced chocolate for FOSDEM probably not
+Dec 15 14:31:20 <NeddySeagoon> dabbott, thanks
+Dec 15 14:32:00 <NeddySeagoon> Bug 492384
+Dec 15 14:32:01 <willikins> NeddySeagoon: https://bugs.gentoo.org/492384 "Update the process to request funds from the foundation"; Gentoo Foundation, Proposals; CONF; dabbott:trustees
+Dec 15 14:32:38 <NeddySeagoon> Do we need any changes ? the process seems to work well
+Dec 15 14:33:27 <NeddySeagoon> The idea ot the process is to gather all the information
+Dec 15 14:34:25 <SwifT> we do need to add in how to proceed, like David sais in the bug
+Dec 15 14:34:42 <dabbott> I think I just need to add where to send the request and submit a bug for the request
+Dec 15 14:34:43 <SwifT> if we work with a bugreport, there is traceability
+Dec 15 14:35:26 <NeddySeagoon> ok, lets make it a bug
+Dec 15 14:35:31 <SwifT> i don't know if there are reasons to make a bug private?
+Dec 15 14:35:33 <SwifT> sec, fire alarm
+Dec 15 14:35:55 <Betelgeuse> SwifT: I hope infra archives trustees like it does for many aliases
+Dec 15 14:36:03 <NeddySeagoon> SwifT, yes. Personal information
+Dec 15 14:36:19 <Betelgeuse> still bugzilla is beneficial for future trustees
+Dec 15 14:36:22 <NeddySeagoon> Betelgeuse, it does
+Dec 15 14:36:22 <Betelgeuse> so they can search back
+Dec 15 14:37:45 * NeddySeagoon posts SwifTs mobile number in a public bug :)
+Dec 15 14:38:17 <dabbott> I was going to add to the document, send the request to trustees@gentoo and then we can make the bug
+Dec 15 14:38:38 <NeddySeagoon> yes, that works
+Dec 15 14:38:53 <dabbott> we don't have to require them to do the bug also
+Dec 15 14:39:03 <NeddySeagoon> Bug 477374 Is this closed now?
+Dec 15 14:39:09 <dabbott> they just need to attach the form to the email
+Dec 15 14:39:32 <NeddySeagoon> dabbott, I like that workflow
+Dec 15 14:40:03 <dabbott> ok will do
+Dec 15 14:40:11 <SwifT> 'ts ok, dead battery
+Dec 15 14:40:47 <NeddySeagoon> Bug 477374 Is this closed now?
+Dec 15 14:40:52 <SwifT> dabbott: ok, agree (mail to trustees and we make bug)
+Dec 15 14:41:05 <Betelgeuse> sounds good
+Dec 15 14:41:23 <SwifT> I don't have access to bug 477374
+Dec 15 14:42:44 <dabbott> robbat2: was working on it afaik
+Dec 15 14:43:11 <dabbott> SwifT: Its a bug for a sponsors logo change
+Dec 15 14:43:15 <NeddySeagoon> SwifT, you are on the cc: list now
+Dec 15 14:43:32 <SwifT> thx
+Dec 15 14:44:12 <dabbott> NeddySeagoon: we should cc infra maybe robbat2 is not on the trustee alias anymore
+Dec 15 14:44:16 <NeddySeagoon> ok, lets leave it. Thats all the current bugs, unless anyone else has some ?
+Dec 15 14:44:32 <NeddySeagoon> dabbott, true
+Dec 15 14:44:55 <Betelgeuse> dabbott: I got the impression that he would be based on him answering a thread
+Dec 15 14:45:05 <Betelgeuse> still we should probably think who should remain now
+Dec 15 14:45:36 <NeddySeagoon> -infra or robbat2 ?
+Dec 15 14:45:53 <dabbott> -infra
+Dec 15 14:46:45 <SwifT> what donation did ostc give? It's not mentioned on the sponsors page
+Dec 15 14:47:44 <NeddySeagoon> SwifT, need quantumsummers|c for that probably
