Agenda

SugarCRM
--------
The decision to adopt SugarCRM for the finances of the Zope Foundation
is postponed and left to the next board.
Updating the minutes online
---------------------------
The chairman notes not all Board Meeting minutes are online and
directs the secretary to publish them or to push those who have not
approved them so that he can.
Posting minutes to the zope-dev list
------------------------------------
Martijn feels that posting the minutes to zope-dev or possibly another
mailing list may engage more people with the work the foundation is
trying to do.
Jens feels it will provoke at lot more unproductive or polemic
discussion.
No conclusion is reached, and this issue is also left for the new
board to deal with.
Contributor agreement
---------------------
The new version of the contributor agreement is approved with textual
corrections as discussed on the mailing list. Final ratification will
have to be done by the next board.
Counting the votes
------------------
The votes are counted. Jens volunteers to announce the result to the
foundation and zope-announce mailing lists.
The secretary is directed to write a message to the nominees that did
not get elected this time and thank them for running.
Conducting the general meeting
------------------------------
Martijn will work on an agenda for the general meeting.
Adjournment
-----------
The chairman adjourns the meeting at 14h51m 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 April 7, 2009.
The Chairman bid the Secretary keep these minutes on file.
