1.a. Meeting notice waivers from new members Jens and Eric
--------------------------------------------------------

Signed notice waivers have been received and filed by the secretary.

1.b. Minutes last meeting
------------------------

The Secretary sent the minutes of the 11/26 meeting to the mailing
list, but they have not been approved by all members of the board
yet. The chairman asks the secretary to note in the new minutes that
*all* board members need to approve the minutes through the mailing
list. After the final approvals have been extorted out of the board
members, the secretary will publish the minutes on the website.

In addition to this, Martijn notes that there are unpublished minutes
from 2006, which will need to be searched out and published. As those
in many cases did not undergo a formal approval procedure, they will
be kept minimal, and only list discussed topics.


2. Treasurer's report
---------------------

The treasurer reports having submitted his report for approval through
email. Jens moves to accept the report. Jim seconds the motion. The
motion is carried unanimously. The secretary will include the report
as an addendum to the minutes.


3.a. Web committee report
-------------------------

Jodok reports the work of the web committee is in progress, Denis is
working on the design. Martijn suggests looking at the work of Kevin
Teague to see to what extent resources can be shared.

3.b. By-laws committee report
-----------------------------

Jim reports that there is nothing to report. Martijn suggests that a
kick-off email is sent to the committee mailing list, so people are
reminded that there is work to be done. Jim concurs, but also
stipulates that he is very busy at the moment.


4. Local user groups
--------------------

Since Tres is not present, this agenda item is skipped.


5.a. Notification for ZEA for Jodok
-----------------------------------

The secretary reports that no email has gone out to Aroldo yet, asking
for a copy of the letter previously sent to ZEA. The secretary will
send one a.s.a.p. and send a new version of it to the board mailing
list for approval.

5.b. Collector review
---------------------

Since Tres is not present, this agenda item is skipped.


6.a. Plone Foundation Bounties
------------------------------

The chairman reports that the Plone Foundation contacted him on the
subject of development bounties, where presumably the interests of
both foundations overlap.

There are no other miscellaneous points raised.


7. Adjournment
--------------

The next ZF BoD meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, 2007-12-19 14:00 UTC
 
The chairman adjourns the meeting at 14h38m UTC.

These minutes were written by the secretary, Eric, 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 on 2007-12-19

The Chairman bid the Secretary keep these minutes on file.
