Aug 21 15:05:45 here Aug 21 15:05:50 :) Aug 21 15:06:00 2> who is logging and going to publish? Aug 21 15:06:06 i can Aug 21 15:06:09 thanks Aug 21 15:06:20 3> Treasurer's report Aug 21 15:06:53 I have submitted this report with a minor mis-calculation for review Aug 21 15:07:24 Further, I will make all data available in a few formats for archival and informational purposes Aug 21 15:07:39 what I have is the following: all paypal data for all time in csv and ods Aug 21 15:07:57 all capital one statements in pdf and ods Aug 21 15:08:05 all ing statements in pdf and ods Aug 21 15:08:12 that covers all our accounts Aug 21 15:08:21 +1 Aug 21 15:08:50 can you post a report with links like http://www.gentoo.org/foundation/en/finances/2010-treasurer-report.xml Aug 21 15:09:16 we can add it to http://www.gentoo.org/foundation/en/finances/ Aug 21 15:09:32 dabbott I can do that. I wondered about the format Aug 21 15:09:53 what was done previously is more of a narrative Aug 21 15:10:03 I can write the report in narrative form I suppose Aug 21 15:10:11 as well as keeping the data tabular Aug 21 15:10:31 Honestly, I'd probably just write an intro or whatever. The data speaks for itself. No sense burdening ourselves with too much boilerplate. Aug 21 15:10:33 just so we can find the info, main think is links to the pdf etc in one place Aug 21 15:10:57 rich0: makes sense, something of an executive summary Aug 21 15:11:14 dabbott I will guildexml-ify the info in the pdf Aug 21 15:11:31 that was just for ease of access for you guys to review Aug 21 15:11:40 that I emailed in that format Aug 21 15:12:37 there is a known error somewhere in there. I have not had much luck in tracking it down. Its small by comparison, so I am not terribly troubled by it Aug 21 15:14:21 FYI all, i'm intending on producing a copy of the data into the Ledger format to reconcile it and give it my own set of eyes Aug 21 15:14:32 robbat2: thanks Aug 21 15:14:36 from the original statements + paypal data Aug 21 15:14:49 we will need a motion to accept the report but need to link to it so we can do that next month Aug 21 15:14:54 I have a python script that may help the paypal conversion to ofx Aug 21 15:15:46 I propose a motion to provisionally accept the report as it stands with the addition of a summary and correction of the minor error as work in progress Aug 21 15:15:56 seconded Aug 21 15:15:59 and xml-ification Aug 21 15:16:08 Please vote, gentlemen Aug 21 15:16:13 aye Aug 21 15:16:17 aye Aug 21 15:16:27 aye Aug 21 15:16:28 ok Aug 21 15:16:39 Motion has passed.

It is in IRC for sure. Aug 21 15:20:19 I second the motion Aug 21 15:20:19 rich0: it would be fine to also post to ML (foundation-announce) Aug 21 15:20:26 robbat2: thanks Aug 21 15:20:33 Please vote now: Aug 21 15:20:40 aye Aug 21 15:20:41 aye Aug 21 15:20:42 aye Aug 21 15:20:47 yes Aug 21 15:20:56 Motion passed, Let it be so.

Aug 21 15:27:29 If I'm reading that site the CDs are sold for about $3, which certainly seems to be close to cost (plus handling/etc). Aug 21 15:27:39 their pricing is very cheap, 6 Turkish Lira is ~3.30USD, yes Aug 21 15:27:53 I cannot read the site at all really Aug 21 15:28:07 and they are up to date, 11.2 is on there already Aug 21 15:28:23 Seems fine to me. Aug 21 15:28:33 Motion: Approve Penguenci.com Destek as official vendor. Aug 21 15:28:37 seconded Aug 21 15:28:37 seconded Aug 21 15:28:41 aye Aug 21 15:28:43 Please vote Aug 21 15:28:43 aye Aug 21 15:28:47 aye Aug 21 15:28:47 yes Aug 21 15:29:01 Motion passed. Aug 21 15:29:15 rich0: what is your item, same one? Aug 21 15:29:23 i'll add the vendor to the relevant page Aug 21 15:29:23 Nope Aug 21 15:29:29 Just a quickie Aug 21 15:29:29 robbat2: thanks Aug 21 15:29:31 robbat2, ok Aug 21 15:29:34 Just a quick note to all to take a look at: http://www.gentoo.org/foundation/en/secretary/activities/activity_tracker.xml Aug 21 15:29:35 Feel free to contribute or to create new activity pages for anything you have close knowledge of. Consider everything there draft for now so apologies if I get roles/responsibilities wrong/etc. Aug 21 15:30:24 And feel free to send me notes to clean up and add. Aug 21 15:30:27 That's all. Aug 21 15:30:31 rich0: the last Annual Report - New Mexico filing was 2010/10 Aug 21 15:30:55 Excellent, thanks. Aug 21 15:31:14 Oh, did we file in Missouri yet? Aug 21 15:31:26 If so we have an annual report coming due. Aug 21 15:31:33 not yet, that is pending legal review of our by laws Aug 21 15:31:41 yes, I have the report to submit already Aug 21 15:31:46 its complete Aug 21 15:31:47 Ok, I'd hold off until September in any case. Aug 21 15:32:02 ok. anything else rich0? Aug 21 15:32:08 nope, that's all for me. Aug 21 15:32:16 oh, change the annual meeting on there Aug 21 15:32:18 :) Aug 21 15:32:24 I have one item. Aug 21 15:33:27 I would like to submit an application for partnership with Calxeda, who is producing some very interesting ARM tech for servers. I have another dev, Dr. Anthony Basile, on board as PI. Aug 21 15:34:01 info is here http://calxeda.com/partners.php Aug 21 15:34:28 canonical is on board as a distro, I would like Gentoo to be there too Aug 21 15:34:40 any costs to us? Aug 21 15:34:46 main tech is ~120 4-core nodes in a 2U case Aug 21 15:34:58 robbat2: not that I am aware of. the HW is free Aug 21 15:35:05 that sounds similar to a crowd that tried MIPS stuff Aug 21 15:35:15 ok, i have no objections then Aug 21 15:35:24 yes, they ran gentoo in a mips hpc cluster Aug 21 15:35:34 up in boston/cambridge Aug 21 15:35:50 * SiCortex Aug 21 15:35:55 yes Aug 21 15:36:00 Do we have support from the ARM arch team, or others as needed? Aug 21 15:36:25 have not contacted anyone, blueness has the requisite experience Aug 21 15:36:30 If Anthony is taking the lead from the dev side that is probably sufficient / etc. Aug 21 15:36:31 and interest Aug 21 15:36:41 Yup, just wanted to make sure that it had backing. Aug 21 15:36:52 the arm folk will be interested in the build abilities of that hardware Aug 21 15:36:53 he and I will team up on this, at minimum. others are welcome Aug 21 15:37:03 robbat2: I bet you are right Aug 21 15:37:15 there are 2 variants of partnership Aug 21 15:37:15 as that beats the Kirkwood board I run for them presently Aug 21 15:37:18 So, what exactly is Gentoo doing (just curious - seems great). Aug 21 15:37:26 one is you get your own system, the other is remote access Aug 21 15:38:11 rich0: blueness and I are interested in porting hardened, for one. Also looking into message passing (one of my interests) via rabbitmq. Aug 21 15:38:26 we are working up the proposal currently Aug 21 15:38:48 wanted to make sure it was cool with the board before putting in a ton of effort Aug 21 15:38:59 +1 from me Aug 21 15:39:02 fine by me, have fun Aug 21 15:39:17 Sounds good to me - Gentoo is perfect if you ask me for these kinds of trailblazing applications. Aug 21 15:39:33 robbat2: as another potential there is ZT systems, they have a nice 8 node 2-core 1U system but its expensive Aug 21 15:39:42 rich0: I agree completely Aug 21 15:40:06 blueness wants to contact them as well Aug 21 15:40:43 their system is $20K, so we would have to get a massive discount and financial assistance from somewhere for that to be possible Aug 21 15:40:59 in any case, this is just a start. thanks for the support Aug 21 15:41:07 So, what is the 5 words or less description of Gentoo for the logo? :) Aug 21 15:41:35 (no need to settle that now) Aug 21 15:41:45 not sure Aug 21 15:41:52 Gentoo - We Supply the Clues Aug 21 15:41:56 heh Aug 21 15:42:01 lol Aug 21 15:42:39 ok, any other items for AOB? Aug 21 15:43:51 none here Aug 21 15:44:12 goin once Aug 21 15:44:15 twice Aug 21 15:44:20 three times a lady Aug 21 15:44:28 4.5 Open floor Aug 21 15:44:50 anyone interested in voicing their ideas and opinions, please speak now Aug 21 15:45:13 I do hope that Roy is ok. Not like him to miss a meeting. Aug 21 15:45:16 * rich0 listens eagerly to the crickets... Aug 21 15:45:37 well then... going once Aug 21 15:45:58 going twice for open floor - have your voice heard here! Aug 21 15:46:04 ... Aug 21 15:46:07 ... Aug 21 15:46:07 none for me Aug 21 15:46:21 thrice gone Aug 21 15:46:37 and the floor is closed.
