Quorum Present:	Yes


Aroldo called the meeting to order at 14h07m UTC.

The agenda was accepted as follows:

1. The Zope IP transfer
2. The bylaws revision
3. The foundation's website
4. Secretarial work for the ZFB
5. Hosting the ZF web stuff
6. Adjournment


1. The Zope IP transfer
-----------------------

Rob remarked that there is not much sense in scheduling the Zope IP
transfer from ZC to ZF as long as ZF does not have the necessary
legal, organisational and technical mechanisms for making the said IP
wax and thrive. Nobody contradicted Rob's assertion.

2.The bylaws revision
--------------------- 

There is consensus in that a prominent Zope community member should
take up the job of implementing a revision of the bylaws and of the
Zope committing mechanisms in order to make the ZF operational. He
should be paid for this implementation job, whereas its oversight
should be kept in the Board. The Board agreed on the first person to
be contacted to do this job. Jim and Martijn will contact him.

3. The foundation's website
---------------------------

Martijn needs volunteers for the foundation website work.

Aroldo volunteers to look for people who would review the site and
contribute with content rather lend technical skills. Aroldo will
contact Jan Smith on this topic.

4. Secretarial work for the ZFB
-------------------------------

Rob will mail Aroldo soon with raw texts and hints on how to start
doing formal secretarial work for the Board.


5. Hosting the ZF web stuff
---------------------------

Martijn will resume his negotiations with Amaze on hosting ZF stuff
and report to the Board soon.

6. Adjournment
--------------

The Chairman adjourns the meeting at 15h27m UTC.

These minutes were written by the Chairman, Aroldo, according to the
notes taken during the meeting.

These minutes were posted to the foundation-board@zope.org mailing
list and approved by all directors.

The Chairman bid the Secretary keep these minutes on file.
