Agenda
The agenda is accepted as follows:

- canvassing, proxying
- planning the copyright transfer to the foundation
- new.zope.org status
- miscellaneous
- adjournment
preparing announcement
Martijn has drafted an announcement which was sent to the list. There are no comments yet, they will be sent through the board mailing list.
canvasing and proxying
The secretary will tally the confirmations and proxies recieved and send a status report to the list.
copyright transfer
The copyright transfer document is ready to go. The transfer will happen after the new bylaws are adopted, but before a new board is elected.
new.zope.org
There seem to be no changes on new.zope.org. The underwear icon is still there. Jens sent a mail to Jodok, who forwarded it to the designer. As yet there was no reaction. The designer already indicated being unhappy with the current design implementation.
There are two issues:
- The content is not ready for release
- The design is not ready for release
The writing of new content could be kicked into gear by opening the site before a lot of content is ready, but seems like there is a need for a new design, since the old one is not finished, and the designer has put requirements on its use that the foundation is unwilling to comply with.
The discussion is tabled, and Jens will move it to the board mailing list.
miscellaneous
No miscellaneous points are raised.
adjournment
The next ZF BoD meeting is scheduled for Friday, 2008-11-14 14:00 UTC
The chairman adjourns the meeting at 14h24m UTC.
These minutes were written by the secretary, Eric, according to the notes taken during the meeting.
These minutes were posted to the [email protected] mailing list and approved by all directors on 2008-10-31.
The Chairman bid the Secretary keep these minutes on file.
