18:18 <@NeddySeagoon> 2011 Trustee Election
18:19 <@NeddySeagoon> Nominations are open and we have three nominations for three seats - two nominees have accepted.
18:20 <@NeddySeagoon> Elections project are seeing fair play
18:20 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers SFLC Monthly Update ... has anything changed ?
18:21 <@quantumsummers> NeddySeagoon: i have submitted more things for them, but have the no change from last meeting
18:22 <@NeddySeagoon> IS there anything we can  do to help speed the process - should we look for more pro bono law support ?
18:22 <@quantumsummers> I need to have a frank conversation with them, as the time it has taken is not cool
18:23 <@NeddySeagoon> As long as they can give us a turn round time we cn live with and they meet it, thats fine.  We would then know if we need more legal support
18:23 <@NeddySeagoon> Canwe/Do we need to do anything ?
18:24 <@quantumsummers> let me talk to them, and see what is up
18:24 <@NeddySeagoon> ok
18:24 <@quantumsummers> I'll do this onMonday, then
18:25 <@quantumsummers> we can make choices via mail
18:25 <@NeddySeagoon> You have a short Monday list this week then :)
18:25 <@NeddySeagoon> yes
18:25 <@quantumsummers> its a holiday here
18:26 <@quantumsummers> as a side note, I think they may be experiencing funding crunch
18:26 <@NeddySeagoon> Oh yeah - Presidents Day according to my Scientific American calendar
18:26 <@quantumsummers> perhaps we should consider some donation to subsidize their costs a bit
18:26 <@NeddySeagoon> Should we make a donation to the SFLC ?
18:26 <@quantumsummers> they are trying to get someone with more time that our main contact will oversee
18:27 <@quantumsummers> NeddySeagoon: after monday, lets talk via mail
18:27 <@NeddySeagoon> ok.  I am good with the idea of a donation
18:27 <@quantumsummers> it would be  a nice gesture
18:27 <@NeddySeagoon> ok.  I am good with the idea of a donation
18:29 <@quantumsummers> I'll email around my list of outstanding items as well

18:29 <@robbat2> missing a digit

18:30 <@quantumsummers> fat fingrd
18:30 <@robbat2> bug 352435
18:30 < willikins> robbat2: https://bugs.gentoo.org/352435 "OpenCascade, FreeCAD and the surrounding license mess / Can we have this in tree?"; Gentoo Linux, Applications; NEW; dilfridge@g.o:trustees@g.o
18:30 <@quantumsummers> 3rd times the charm
18:31 <@NeddySeagoon> robbat2, do you have an opinion.  From reading the bug, lots of people better then me have tried to unravel this and given up
18:31 <@robbat2> in light of gentoo, I say we restrict the binpkgs and let people use it
18:32 <@quantumsummers> do we even need to restrict mirroring?
18:32 <@NeddySeagoon> Do we need to refer to SFLC ?
18:32 <@quantumsummers> have already
18:32 <@robbat2> yeah, RESTRICT="bindist mirror"
18:33 <@quantumsummers> sounds fine to me
18:33 <@quantumsummers> what are sci herd using for LICENSE?
18:33 <@robbat2> "mirror" because otherwise we are party to clause #2
18:33 <@NeddySeagoon> That looks safe anyway - until SFLC report back
18:34 <@quantumsummers> I consider it safe, we are not distributing pkgs
18:34 <@quantumsummers> binary packages, that is
18:34 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, agreed.
18:34 <@NeddySeagoon> nore the sources
18:35 <@robbat2> at the point of RESTRICT="bindist mirror", we're only ever shipping ebuilds, and any linkage violation is on the end users system, where plenty of it exists already (eg nvidia binary drivers)
18:35 <@NeddySeagoon> -e
18:35 <@quantumsummers> robbat2: lets go with it
18:35 <@NeddySeagoon> heh
18:35 <@NeddySeagoon> lets go with that
18:35 <@NeddySeagoon> Do we need a vote ?
18:36 <@quantumsummers> nah, we all agree
18:36 <@NeddySeagoon> Do we need a SFLC opinion ?
18:36 <@quantumsummers> I hope to tender one
18:36 <@NeddySeagoon> ok
18:36 <@quantumsummers> but I do not believe so
18:36 <@quantumsummers> that we need one
18:36 <@NeddySeagoon> Should we remove it from their todo list ?
18:37 <@quantumsummers> and post to the bug, yes
18:37 <@NeddySeagoon> ok
18:37 <@NeddySeagoon> Agenda Item 5 New Business ... there is none
18:38 <@NeddySeagoon> Agenda Item 6 Membership Applications
