20:00 * NeddySeagoon calls the meeting to order 20:00 <@NeddySeagoon> Roll call 20:00 <@fmccor> I wasn't saying to join. I was mentioning its charactistics. 20:00 <@fmccor> Here. 20:00 <@tsunam> here in spirit only :-P 20:00 <@fmccor> A ghost? 20:00 <@NeddySeagoon> tgall_foo, wltjr ? 20:00 <@tsunam> yep its a dead day for me :_P 20:01 <@fmccor> I think wltjr said he was time sharing with yard work. 20:01 <@NeddySeagoon> fmccor, yeah - we have a quorum, so we can start ... lets give tgall_foo a few minutes 20:03 * wltjr is here in a uncomfortable presence 20:03 <@NeddySeagoon> well, done ... ok, lets start 20:03 <@NeddySeagoon> 1. Introductions does anyone not know us by now ? 20:04 <@NeddySeagoon> moving swiftly on 20:04 <@NeddySeagoon> 2. Actions From the Last Meeting 20:04 <@NeddySeagoon> Foundation Bylaws Status - wltjr care to summarise please ? 20:05 <@NeddySeagoon> wltjr, ? 20:05 <@wltjr> I have nothing to say really, I agree with everything that was done at last meeting on the bylaws, but I was not present, kinda taking a back seat atm, because I am totally confused over Foundation purpose, membership, etc, but rest of the common stuff can be moved on I guess, which I think is where the last meeting left off, so no change 20:06 -!- ahf [i=ahf@exherbo/developer/ahf] has joined #gentoo-trustees 20:06 <@NeddySeagoon> The present trustees have looked over all the sections except 4 and 5 20:07 <@NeddySeagoon> Next action * Gentoo Foundation Banking - tsunam 20:07 <@wltjr> then I guess that's where we are at, I will participate and comment, but not looking to lead the effort wrt to the bylaws, never did but sorta became that way I think 20:07 <@fmccor> I thought we said that for now we'd let Sec 4 reflect the status quo? 20:07 <@tsunam> short answer, no real progress has been made on a bank. I've been unable to get enough free time during banking hours to make the calls neccessary 20:07 <@NeddySeagoon> wltjr, yeah I was of the opion you were leading 20:07 <@NeddySeagoon> tsunam, can anyone else help ? 20:08 <@wltjr> NeddySeagoon: I don't mind per say, but didn't elect or ask for it, and I think many have opposition to me doing that, so would rather just be a part :) 20:08 <@wltjr> tsunam: I am happy to I was going to offer 20:08 <@NeddySeagoon> wltjr, ok, well sort the details under AOB later 20:08 <@tsunam> NeddySeagoon: that's worth considering 20:08 <@wltjr> that's partly why I took no role, officer wise, so I could help out or fill in where needed :) 20:08 <@tsunam> basically what they needed was the EIN and a bit of other information 20:09 <@tsunam> so really not much 20:09 <@wltjr> we have all that and more, just need funds and to decide which bank, but likely only a few like chase, citi, etc, big ones 20:09 <@NeddySeagoon> tsunam, can you brief wltjr ? 20:09 <@tsunam> wltjr: citi was the best one I saw overall 20:09 <@wltjr> NeddySeagoon: it would mostly be coordinating initial deposit 20:09 <@tsunam> wltjr: and most informative and helpful 20:09 <@wltjr> tsunam: ok I have no quams there, they have a HUGE presence here :) 20:09 <@NeddySeagoon> wltjr, It sounds like you are up to speed already 20:09 <@wltjr> tsunam: > 5k and growing 20:10 <@tsunam> wltjr: only catchpa we have is if the check from netbank is still good 20:10 <@tsunam> which I need to just call grant as he's not responded to emails about it 20:10 <@wltjr> tsunam: sure, or will need to somehow arrange an initial deposit/check something from PayPal just to prime the account 20:10 <@tsunam> wltjr: aye 20:10 <@tsunam> that's the other way 20:10 <@wltjr> tsunam: then worse case instead of a check, we can do a wire transfer, account to account 20:11 <@tsunam> wltjr: *nods* 20:11 <@wltjr> tsunam: and from there, PayPal can be tied into bank account, and so on, rest is you :) 20:11 <@NeddySeagoon> if the cheque is still good, grant an pay it in to his local branch 20:11 <@tsunam> wltjr: yeah 20:11 <@wltjr> NeddySeagoon: sure lots of options there 20:11 <@tsunam> it's been ~1year plus... 20:11 <@wltjr> only thing we have to do is prime the initial account to open it, and that would be like ~$100 or so 20:11 <@tsunam> not sure lifetime on checks 20:11 <@wltjr> depends if it's dated 20:11 <@NeddySeagoon> tsunam, Its our end of FY on 30 June - will you have time for the book keeping for that ? 20:12 <@wltjr> if not dated, no expiration as long as funds are available 20:12 <@wltjr> so cash grandma's check today, not years from now, or you might mess the old gal up :) 20:12 <@NeddySeagoon> hehe 20:12 <@fmccor> :) 20:12 <@tsunam> wltjr: recall netbank is cloed 20:13 <@tsunam> closed 20:13 <@tsunam> wltjr: the check should still be good with the new bank that took over the assets 20:13 <@wltjr> tsunam: sure but funds would likely be in some sort of trust or something, not sure there, but has to be some sort of rules, and availability 20:13 <@tsunam> but might need to get the check reissued 20:13 <@wltjr> if we lost the $ that would totally suck ass 20:13 <@tsunam> wltjr: its not gone 20:13 <@wltjr> but we can fight that battle another day, once we have a bank account 20:13 <@tsunam> wltjr: just in a different location 20:13 <@tsunam> *nods* 20:13 <@NeddySeagoon> wltjr, it won't be gone 20:13 <@wltjr> tsunam: we can have our bank help us there 20:13 <@tsunam> wltjr: aye 20:14 <@tsunam> anyways that's the status of the bank 20:14 <@NeddySeagoon> thanks tsunam 20:14 <@NeddySeagoon> 3. Open Bugs Assigned to Trustees ... 20:15 <@NeddySeagoon> 117837 Funding request: wildcard SSL cert ... robbat2 seems to be having fun with CACert ... we can close this action 20:15 <@tsunam> the CACert has been approved and is in place 20:15 <@NeddySeagoon> 177966 Clarify Foundation page on external entities ... what was this about ? 20:16 <@wltjr> NeddySeagoon: robbat2 is working that, I don't think we should close or mess with, but we are done there I believe 20:16 <@NeddySeagoon> thanks. We just need to keep an eye on it if we can't reassign it 20:17 <@fmccor> 117837 was closed a month ago. 20:17 <@NeddySeagoon> 217511 The Gentoo Store is Out of Date - this is a problem 20:17 <@NeddySeagoon> fmccor, thanks 20:17 <@NeddySeagoon> A gentoo store in the USA is like an ash tray on a moderbike if you are in Europe 20:18 <@fmccor> Ha. 20:18 <@tsunam> simple solution would be to just remove all cd/dvd's from the store 20:19 <@NeddySeagoon> tsunam, Thats been done on the web page 20:19 * wltjr still likes the idea of having a third party agreement for sale and distribution of release media paying roylaties back to foundation 20:19 <@fmccor> I'm not sure we've ever sold any. 20:19 <@tsunam> cd's/dvds? 20:19 <@tsunam> yes we have 20:19 <@fmccor> wltjr, sounds good to me. 20:19 <@wltjr> could do that with T-Shirts and more, and it could be done regionally 20:19 <@tsunam> not many each release 20:19 <@NeddySeagoon> What about appointing a store management committee. ? Coveing the USA and a few other countries ? 20:19 <@wltjr> sure there is $ loss of dollar coversion, but that's moot 20:20 <@wltjr> NeddySeagoon: to difficult, we just have some legal types draft up a policy and rules with % payback to foundation 20:20 <@tsunam> NeddySeagoon: that's an option and a good possibility of the community being able to help 20:20 <@wltjr> then if we need to, we sick pro bono council after them to enforce it or etc, but that shouldn't be much of an issue I think most would be pretty honest, it's not like they will be moving tons of product :) 20:20 <@NeddySeagoon> wltjr, my point is that the trustees won't fix it unaided 20:20 <@wltjr> and it could apply to more than just media 20:21 <@wltjr> NeddySeagoon: do it hands off 20:21 <@wltjr> NeddySeagoon: have a policy anyone can follow without asking 20:21 <@wltjr> NeddySeagoon: just have to make sure anyone selling is sending checks to foundation, or sick attorneys on them 20:21 <@NeddySeagoon> wltjr, that sounds good - as long as they know the policy exists 20:22 <@wltjr> NeddySeagoon: publish it on g.o 20:22 <@fmccor> We've already given approval to some developer in Russia to sell T shirts, I think. 20:22 <@wltjr> link to it from home page or etc 20:22 <@NeddySeagoon> wltjr, the proceeds won't pay for international attorneys 20:22 <@wltjr> fmccor: exactly 20:22 <@wltjr> NeddySeagoon: I really don't see it coming to that much 20:23 <@NeddySeagoon> wltjr, you agree we need some help of some sort ? 20:23 <@wltjr> NeddySeagoon: I don't see anyone selling Gentoo stuff to be making a ton of $ off it, and if they really want to be petty and not give back ~20% or some small amount to keep making what ever $ they are, then we can find other ways 20:23 <@wltjr> NeddySeagoon: not sure, I think the SFLC is international 20:23 <@fmccor> We're never going to get rich from the store(s); it's more a PR & good will thing, and you need the license to protect trademarks. 20:23 <@wltjr> NeddySeagoon: we can use them at any time 20:24 <@wltjr> we just need to establish a relationship, heck the company in CA that did the trademark might do that stuff, they seem pretty damn big and all into software and the like 20:24 <@NeddySeagoon> wltjr, if we have a policy for 'anyone' to follow, nobody will - how will we make the store(s) happen ? 20:24 <@wltjr> NeddySeagoon: we don't the community does :) 20:25 <@wltjr> NeddySeagoon: put another way, some might elect to sell and distribute our stuff anyway, and we would have to hunt down, find them, and deal just the same 20:25 <@NeddySeagoon> wltjr, you mean - create demand and the store just happens ? 20:25 <@fmccor> People who want one will ask. 20:25 <@wltjr> NeddySeagoon: I am just saying put out a policy and see what happens 20:25 <@wltjr> NeddySeagoon: worse case in a year or so it totally fails we make a store or do something else 20:25 <@wltjr> NeddySeagoon: but we do have someone already doing that, and maybe others? not sure 20:26 <@NeddySeagoon> wltjr, ok, if it doesn't work, we can be a bit more proactive 20:26 <@wltjr> I am not sure if anyone followed up with dude in Russia or if store happened 20:26 <@NeddySeagoon> wltjr, care to summarise please ? 20:26 <@wltjr> I don't believe we have gotten any $ from it, bug again not sure he has either 20:26 <@NeddySeagoon> wltjr, it was pva and he went away to do something 20:27 <@fmccor> He's marked present here now --- could ask. 20:27 < pva> Heh, and while I'm here I can give you some status update :) 20:27 <@wltjr> NeddySeagoon: we draft and have counsel review a general usage/sale policy for the G logo, t-shirts, mugs, etc, and release media, stipulating like 10-20% of net comes back to foundation based on $ amounts or something 20:27 < pva> I'm working currently on setting up noncomercial organisation for our russian gentoo community 20:28 <@NeddySeagoon> Thank you pva 20:28 < pva> when I'll finish that (I still need to understand taxes) I'll be back to you ) 20:28 <@NeddySeagoon> wltjr, so who is going to do what, and by when ? 20:28 <@fmccor> No one understands taxes, so that will be like never? :) 20:29 <@wltjr> NeddySeagoon: well I can see about drafting some sort of policy up, but not sure if we should have someone who knows about that stuff do it, or just review it afterward 20:29 <@wltjr> we need to establish a relationship with some pro bono attorneys/counsel IMHO 20:29 <@wltjr> not sure if the SFLC does stuff like that, or some other firm 20:30 <@NeddySeagoon> wltjr, Don't we have some in CA ? 20:30 <@wltjr> considering we might want the same one to help enforce said policy :) 20:30 <@wltjr> NeddySeagoon: yes, but I think they only dealt with past trustees, so we need to contact them 20:30 < pva> BTW, I still have to read messages on nfp mailing list but I remember there was discussion about seal and I could be wrong but I've remembered that you were going to avoid it... 20:30 <@wltjr> NeddySeagoon: likely best done initially by a paper official presence, like you or fmccor, pres or vp 20:30 <@NeddySeagoon> we need an introduction from past trustees then 20:31 <@wltjr> NeddySeagoon: yes, I think rl03 was going to intern there or something? 20:31 < pva> I just wanted to say that if you are going to open subdivision in Russia you'll be required to have it :) 20:31 <@fmccor> rl03 was the contact. 20:31 <@wltjr> for sure he is the contact 20:31 <@NeddySeagoon> fmccor, can you follow up on that ... we don't want to let the CA pro-bono thing we have lost interest 20:32 <@NeddySeagoon> think* 20:32 <@wltjr> surely not, given their work on the trademark 20:32 <@fmccor> I'll chase Renat down. 20:32 <@NeddySeagoon> ok - this will be your topic next meeting 20:33 <@wltjr> fmccor: cool and once we are established with them, I can help out with discussions, draft etc on policy if need be, unless another wants to, or has time 20:33 <@fmccor> Thanks, I guess. 20:33 <@wltjr> er can make time, who has time :) 20:33 <@wltjr> I want to meet him 20:33 <@fmccor> Who? 20:33 <@wltjr> fmccor: anyone who has time :) 20:33 <@NeddySeagoon> 224689 Legal fees to for Reinstatement 20:34 <@NeddySeagoon> I know its paid but why is the bug restricted ? 20:34 <@tsunam> *shrugs* 20:34 <@fmccor> No idea. 20:34 <@NeddySeagoon> In the interests of openness, lets open it :) 20:35 <@fmccor> Done. 20:35 <@NeddySeagoon> thanks 20:35 <@NeddySeagoon> Trustees and Foundation Article For the GMN 20:36 <@NeddySeagoon> some time ago I asked what everyone thought of ^^^ 20:36 <@fmccor> I have not seen a bill for the reinstatement blunder, so perhaps he's not charging for that. 20:36 <@wltjr> I can't do anything there, I have flaked to many times as is with helping out with GWN/GMN in any capacity, so will pass entirely 20:36 <@NeddySeagoon> fmccor, lets not ask 20:36 <@wltjr> fmccor: I thought it was all part of the one? that's why it was more than intially thought? 20:36 <@fmccor> Ask? I wasn't going to call him and ask if he forgot to bill us. 20:36 <@wltjr> :) 20:37 <@fmccor> wltjr, The overrun was partly my fault --- telephone calls mostly. 20:37 <@wltjr> if/when we leave him, I am sure he will let us know if we owe him anything, if we need anything from him in that process 20:37 <@NeddySeagoon> wltjr, The idea is a mugshot a para of bio, a para each on our own aims, and para looking back to 1st March and a jpint para looking forard 20:37 <@wltjr> fmccor: no worries, like I am short winded :) 20:37 * fmccor is not 20:38 <@wltjr> NeddySeagoon: oh that stuff, I try to be a background player, having effect, but not seen :) 20:38 <@fmccor> (short winded) 20:38 <@wltjr> my parents talk me to talk, but not stfu ;), gift of gab some would say :) 20:38 <@NeddySeagoon> wltjr, we could use a photo of your shadow :) 20:38 <@NeddySeagoon> tsunam, ^^ 20:39 <@wltjr> NeddySeagoon: my middle finger is nice ;) but I can take a pic, need to take another, been a few years, I think one of the last ones was from LWE 20:39 <@tsunam> hmm 20:39 <@tsunam> NeddySeagoon: about which 20:39 <@tsunam> NeddySeagoon: no one would want to read about me :-P 20:39 <@NeddySeagoon> GMN Trustee Special 20:39 <@tsunam> I'd do it but... 20:39 <@wltjr> I am not much on disclosing details on myself, other than random commenting, which I do occasionally permanently in email or etc, unless irc is being logged :) 20:40 <@tsunam> wltjr: many of us log irc =) 20:40 * tsunam has 2+ years of logs 20:40 <@wltjr> NeddySeagoon: but I can come up with something :) 20:40 <@wltjr> tsunam: well not publiclly 20:40 <@NeddySeagoon> Its good PR ... the community already knows our differences they don't know what we want to achieve together (we don't know that either) 20:40 <@wltjr> tsunam: I don't care about individuals, but put something in email, or like on a news letter ,it will prosper :) 20:40 <@fmccor> It's a way to show the community the trustees are real and the Foundation is alive. 20:41 <@wltjr> sure sure, I agree, and will cooperate/comply for sure in some capacity 20:41 * wltjr is short, has brown hair and is into Linux :) 20:41 <@NeddySeagoon> fmccor, Oh they know that from reading wltjr :) 20:41 <@fmccor> :) 20:41 <@wltjr> quiet I am not, if I am in a room or etc it will be known, little dude, big presence :) 20:41 <@fmccor> I think the most important part is the joint statement. 20:41 <@NeddySeagoon> I'm offering to write my section up first if you want a template 20:42 <@fmccor> Please. 20:42 <@NeddySeagoon> ok 20:42 <@NeddySeagoon> I agree about the joint statement - it will help us get our own thoughts together too 20:42 <@fmccor> wltjr, Hm, so am I (all of those). 20:43 <@wltjr> fmccor: maybe I am just an alias of you :) 20:43 <@NeddySeagoon> 5. Should Trustees be Permitted to Serve on Council 20:43 <@wltjr> I don't think so, but I believe a few of you all are running, and I respect that 20:43 <@NeddySeagoon> Please discuss 20:44 <@tsunam> I don't think one should neccessarily exclude the other 20:44 <@NeddySeagoon> fmccor, is running, tsunam and I declined 20:44 <@wltjr> IMHO a officer, trustee, and council member should not be the same, and maybe not even rel's either, if that's controversial enough, I like separation and focus, with a variety of opinions 20:44 <@tsunam> NeddySeagoon: I've declined 3 times...that's not a surprise 20:44 <@fmccor> It's already happened a couple times at least (wold31o2 & perhaps g2boojum). 20:44 <@tsunam> cshields as well I believe 20:44 <@NeddySeagoon> tsunam, my concern is that any conflicts of interests weaken both bodies 20:45 <@tsunam> NeddySeagoon: that's why you can abstain 20:45 <@tsunam> and still have a majority vote 20:45 <@wltjr> I respect both g2boojum and wolf3102 and their contributions to Gentoo, but I feel people can spread themselves to thin, and might unwilling limit their influence or effect in any one area 20:45 <@fmccor> I don't see where the conflict arises. I'm missing something. 20:45 <@NeddySeagoon> tsunam, that weakens the decisions 20:45 <@tsunam> I disagree but 20:45 <@fmccor> For me, I think devrel is the bigger conflict. 20:45 <@wltjr> fmccor: not so much conflict, but focus and variety of opinion 20:45 <@NeddySeagoon> fmccor, I don't have any examples right now 20:46 <@wltjr> how many normal organizations does someone have like 10 titles :) 20:46 <@NeddySeagoon> wltjr, bey they only have one job 20:46 <@fmccor> So it's potential. I see it the other way, it helps open the door to cooperation. 20:46 <@wltjr> right now I am not doing anything on amd64, and next to nothing on Java, not entirely because of trustees, but partly 20:46 <@NeddySeagoon> fmccor, I see that too 20:46 <@wltjr> yeah but for example if someone is rel, council, and foundation, that's one opinion 20:47 <@wltjr> in 3 places :( 20:47 <@wltjr> or 4 20:47 <@wltjr> so it's not so much conflict, it's limited points of view 20:47 <@tsunam> well another example. I'm Userrel, Devrel, and trustee 20:47 <@tsunam> currently 20:47 <@wltjr> and focus is not as narrow, so how well will any one be done 20:47 * fmccor is too. 20:47 <@wltjr> tsunam: sure, and for example don't have time for bank account stuff, which is totally fine, no worries there 20:48 <@NeddySeagoon> To summarise then - its up to the individual, if they think they have the time, fine 20:48 <@wltjr> but we all have real lives, jobs/businesses, etc, how much time can one give to Gentoo 20:48 <@tsunam> wltjr: more so due to work commitments currently :( 20:48 <@wltjr> NeddySeagoon: I am not sure we should leave everything up to people 20:48 <@wltjr> we need fail safes at high levels IMHO 20:48 <@wltjr> put someone in rel, council, foundation, etc and they are MIA, that's a big impact 20:48 -!- pva [n=pva@gentoo/developer/pva] has left #gentoo-trustees ["Lost Carrier... Don't worry, I'll find it later."] 20:48 <@wltjr> look at the loss of things like Jakub, what if we lost vapier, or others 20:48 <@wltjr> wolf3102, no releases, etc 20:49 <@fmccor> I proposed a policy a while ago to the effect that devrel members should not be on council --- it died stillborn. 20:49 <@wltjr> so no variety of opinions, no narrow focus, big liablility, I don't see the benefit 20:50 <@wltjr> what's to stop someone from being council this year, trustee next, rel another 20:50 <@NeddySeagoon> I don't think we can set a policy here - we need to discuss it with the new council, sinceit would work both ways 20:50 <@wltjr> why all at once? is that fair to others? 20:50 <@wltjr> NeddySeagoon: I agree 20:50 <@fmccor> I do too. 20:50 <@wltjr> NeddySeagoon: IMHO I think we need to make an effort to get a voting project setup 20:50 <@NeddySeagoon> fmccor, maybe thats your conflict of interest (if you are elected) 20:50 <@wltjr> so we can not only discuss with the council, but put forth controversial votes on a more regular basis 20:50 <@wltjr> other than just elections 20:51 <@fmccor> Yes, I mentioned that I thought devrel was more likely to be a conflict. 20:51 <@NeddySeagoon> wltjr, hehe :) 20:51 <@fmccor> wltjr, I think that's happening? jmbsvicetto or rane would know. 20:51 <@wltjr> I do respect all of those who have and do hold multiple positions, and my comments are not a reflection on them or their efforts, some what an observance, but surely meant respectfully 20:51 <@NeddySeagoon> Ok, lets park that one until we have a new council 20:52 <@wltjr> fmccor: yeah but I hope willingly, I kinda talked them into foundation election, and I am happy to see they are doing it with council as well 20:52 <@fmccor> They want to set up the project. 20:52 <@NeddySeagoon> wltjr, I wanted to discuss it before it happened to me - but I declined my nomination 20:53 <@NeddySeagoon> 6. Any other business 20:53 <@fmccor> Well, the chances of my being elect are right around 0, so I don't see it as a problem. :) 20:53 <@wltjr> fmccor: well given those that are running I might even vote for you :) even against my thoughts 20:53 <@NeddySeagoon> fmccor, wait until the votes are counted :) 20:53 <@NeddySeagoon> hehe 20:54 <@NeddySeagoon> 6. Any other business 20:54 <@fmccor> I'm not all that popular with current council. :) 20:54 <@wltjr> but if foundation and council do controversial stuff and same people are on each, will look more like a coup d'etat 20:54 <@NeddySeagoon> tsunam, Will you have time to do the end of FY stuff and present a treasuers report to the next meeting ? 20:55 <@tsunam> NeddySeagoon: yep 20:55 <@fmccor> wltjr, Hadn't thought of that. Yes, that could be a problem. 20:55 <@tsunam> NeddySeagoon: I'll have caught up on the reports 20:55 <@NeddySeagoon> I'll put that on Julys Agenda 20:55 * fmccor wonders why we run July -- June. 20:55 <@NeddySeagoon> thats all I had, tsunam anything ? 20:56 <@wltjr> fmccor: summer time, no school/college :) 20:56 * fmccor is well beyond that worry. 20:56 <@tsunam> NeddySeagoon: did we approve the repayment for the reinstatement 20:56 <@tsunam> I didn't see a yes no vote on it 20:56 <@wltjr> fmccor: it was a joke, meaing young dev base :) 20:56 <@tsunam> fmccor: I hear you on that one 20:56 <@fmccor> I think we did. 20:56 <@NeddySeagoon> You want a vote now ? 20:57 <@NeddySeagoon> just for the recrod 20:57 <@tsunam> well we've voted on others 20:57 <@wltjr> do we really need to vote, who will oppose that? 20:57 <@tsunam> lol 20:57 <@fmccor> I think we voted on it once? 20:57 <@tsunam> no one but 20:57 <@tsunam> it is paying a trustee back so 20:57 <@wltjr> it's a foundation necessity, and not an electable bill, we voted to retain Mr. Chew I believe, so any bills are implied to be paid 20:57 <@wltjr> what's our policy there :) what do bylaws say? 20:58 <@tsunam> I'd hope "get me my money" :-P 20:58 <@wltjr> vote to approve reimbursement requests 20:58 <@fmccor> Second. 20:58 <@wltjr> I think that would depend on if the action was voted upon or not? 20:58 <@wltjr> if action voted upon, no need to vote, if not voted on, then maybe vote depending on amount, but if small enough amount, IMHO treasurer should be able to decide 20:59 <@fmccor> Things like reimbursement are legal obligations, no matter how we vote I think. 20:59 * NeddySeagoon proposes a motion that tsunam be reimbursed in full for recent out of pocket expenses concerning the Gentoo Foundation reinstaement 20:59 <@tsunam> would still like a vote in this case 20:59 <@wltjr> fmccor: sorry, that was a statement :) more than something put forth to the floor 20:59 <@tsunam> as it is to me 20:59 <@wltjr> NeddySeagoon: second 20:59 <@NeddySeagoon> Vote please 20:59 <@wltjr> yeah 20:59 <@fmccor> Yes. 20:59 <@NeddySeagoon> yes 20:59 <@NeddySeagoon> tsunam, ? you want to vote no ? 20:59 <@tsunam> majority yes, so it passes. I'll take care of sending myself money 21:00 <@tsunam> I'll vote yes 21:00 <@NeddySeagoon> Motion carried 21:00 * wltjr should have said no :) just to be a prick :) 21:00 <@tsunam> wltjr: wouldn't of put it past you :-P 21:00 <@wltjr> tsunam: if you really want a vote, chance is one could say no ;) 21:00 <@NeddySeagoon> tsunam, anything else for AOB ? 21:00 <@fmccor> It's still a legal obligation. :) 21:01 <@fmccor> Not from me on AOB. 21:01 <@wltjr> fmccor: what voting?
