Absent: sam


Status of dissolving the foundation/moving under an umbrella org
================================================================

ulm told the council that he has no new information from trustees on
restarting the process with Open Collective. There was no unanimous
agreement on whether the council should proceed on its own, and as a
compromise, the council agreed on the motion

  The council solicits more information from the trustees on how to
  restart the process with Open Collective until the next council
  meeting. Either way, after the next council meeting, the council will
  take action in moving forward, whether with support from the trustees
  or not.

with 5 yes, mattst88 abstaining and 1 absence.


Open bugs with council involvement
==================================

Bug 883715 - (new) Developers who wish to stay anonymous
--------------------------------------------------------
Since no discussion took place on the ML, the council voted with 6 yes
and 1 absence on the following motion:

  The council does not see the need for admitting anonymous or
  pseudonymous developers at this stage (bug 883715), but is willing to
  reconsider the topic should a demonstrable need arise or new arguments
  be brought forward.


Open floor
==========

Nothing was brought to the council's attention.
