=========
Present: arthurzam, dilfridge, mgorny, robbat2, sam, soap, ulm


Token2 evaluation: how to proceed [1]
=====================================
- Discussion about what to do with the Token2.
- Opinion that the performance & build quality is better than Nitrokey
- Shipping for the USA will likely be bulk shipping many units to one dev, and
  that dev would re-ship, to avoid DHL per-shipment processing fees on many
  small shipments.
- Motion: Gentoo to fund 2x Token2 keys per developer as successor to the
  Nitrokey program; exact model & shipping details to be worked out with the
  vendor; estimated cost incl shipping to EUR60/dev X 100 devs = 6000EUR
  Council passes: 7 yes, 0 no, 0 abstain
- Action-Item: Robbat2 to reach out to Token2 to engage them as a supplier and
  see if a procurement plan is possible.
