Dec 20 14:17:33 we do not Dec 20 14:17:47 if I do not get them, i'm just going to find us a new CPA for tax filing Dec 20 14:18:08 I don't think he ever had anyone, never say a bill Dec 20 14:18:17 saw Dec 20 14:18:22 Sure. I was more thinking of our 503 Dec 20 14:18:22 no, he explicited said he did have a CPA before Dec 20 14:18:37 it was the same person he used for his company Dec 20 14:18:56 and we have paid for tax prep Dec 20 14:18:57 Matt was using his CPA Dec 20 14:19:35 Its worth an ask Dec 20 14:19:57 i did ask for the details of his CPA previously Dec 20 14:20:06 that question, along with others, was never answered Dec 20 14:20:22 Thats all you can do Dec 20 14:20:58 I daresay it is not all we can do Dec 20 14:21:22 We can write again Dec 20 14:21:25 antarus: what else, besides asking again and finding a new CPA, do you propose? Dec 20 14:22:30 I need to go I'll read backlog Dec 20 14:22:35 Gone Dec 20 14:22:52 antarus: if you don't have anything specific for it now, i'm going to move us on to the activity tracker Dec 20 14:23:01 yeah move on Dec 20 14:23:24 due on the tracker: Dec 20 14:23:48 - IRS return, we filed an for an automatic extension good until Feburary, we could file another Dec 20 14:24:03 i will make that decision early next month Dec 20 14:24:27 - NM annual report: it was filed I believe, however we need to re-file to drop matthew Dec 20 14:25:02 - (overdue) treasurer report; i hope to put out an interrim report over xmas Dec 20 14:25:30 I did the NM filing, I can update the information Dec 20 14:25:44 dabbott, thanks, let's chat after the meeting Dec 20 14:25:51 ok Dec 20 14:25:52 (re addresses) Dec 20 14:26:03 that closes general old business Dec 20 14:26:08 antarus, do you have any old business? Dec 20 14:27:14 my old business was already covered in the New Treasurer section Dec 20 14:27:22 other than the SFC donation, which I'll return to Dec 20 14:27:47 antarus, you have 1 minute, then i'll move on Dec 20 14:28:21 no Dec 20 14:28:34 ok, swift Dec 20 14:28:49 well, see mail: are we ok with updating our trademark or is it more sensible to wait further alignment with gentoo e.v. ? Dec 20 14:29:33 i like NeddySeagoon's proposal that we are open about the split Dec 20 14:29:56 and say that we're waiting for the e.V. Dec 20 14:30:20 at the same time, we should state our intention, and set a reasonable deadline Dec 20 14:30:52 swift did say he was already waiting more than a year Dec 20 14:31:09 yes this has been on our agenda for quite some time Dec 20 14:31:22 so, how about march as the deadline? Dec 20 14:31:33 unless that would cause anybody problems with tax-year-end timing Dec 20 14:32:05 i'll suggest it to them, thats another quarter to get things settled Dec 20 14:32:40 thanks Dec 20 14:32:55 any other old business from you? (we'll handle trademarks in that section) Dec 20 14:33:00 no Dec 20 14:33:27 ok, NeddySeagoon is away, so we'll skip his old business for now Dec 20 14:33:41 trustee bugs Dec 20 14:33:56 dabbott: the search link broke again :-9 Dec 20 14:35:11 ok Dec 20 14:35:34 bug #543768: join the Network Time Foundation Dec 20 14:35:37 robbat2: https://bugs.gentoo.org/543768 "Joining the NTF foundation"; Gentoo Foundation, Proposals; CONF; dabbott:trustees Dec 20 14:35:53 they wanted us to sign an NDA Dec 20 14:36:08 everybody seemed to be against the NDA Dec 20 14:36:21 yes Dec 20 14:36:26 indeed Dec 20 14:36:35 pretty much I see little or no value in being in the NTF Dec 20 14:36:59 they approached us, for improved publicity for themselves Dec 20 14:37:03 debian is a member Dec 20 14:37:30 along with suse, netbsd, freebsd Dec 20 14:38:09 i think we propose that we are willing to join, but that any security details they intended to hide behind NDAs Dec 20 14:38:12 we are not interested in Dec 20 14:38:28 if they refuse that, we wrap up discussion Dec 20 14:39:14 the security team already said they are not interested in early notice of NTP vulns from NWTime (they get notice elsewhere) Dec 20 14:40:24 if they really want us just for publicity, that should suffice Dec 20 14:40:28 i agree with that approach Dec 20 14:41:11 ok, myself or dabbott can talk to them Dec 20 14:41:52 bug 488142, 547348: gsoc reimbursements; this is pending as part of my treasurer data-hunt Dec 20 14:42:07 bug 568896: SFC Dec 20 14:42:09 https://bugs.gentoo.org/568896 "Funding Request: Matching Funds Donation to Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC)"; Gentoo Foundation, Proposals; CONF; robbat2:trustees Dec 20 14:42:33 as I note in the bug, it was already approved in email by NeddySeagoon and swift Dec 20 14:42:48 i was looking for one more vote Dec 20 14:43:12 fine by me I will update the bug Dec 20 14:43:12 I can put my stamp on it if I can find my bugzilla password Dec 20 14:43:24 thank you Dec 20 14:43:42 that's all specific bugs we need to discuss Dec 20 14:43:49 i have one meta-note about bugs Dec 20 14:44:01 i'd like us to start using the whiteboard to note who a bug is pending on Dec 20 14:44:22 i'll detail it more in email Dec 20 14:44:37 i started using 'finance-audit' as a whiteboard tag in my financial data hunt Dec 20 14:45:51 new business: Dec 20 14:46:01 meetings calander Dec 20 14:46:17 we discussed it two meetings ago, be sure to check if you have any new conflicts Dec 20 14:46:24 - trademarks Dec 20 14:46:43 Genfleetoo was already approved Dec 20 14:47:22 e.V. ownership we already discussed Dec 20 14:47:43 "gentoo foundation" UK company, neddy said was going to write the company Dec 20 14:48:56 "NeuroGentoo" Dec 20 14:49:27 the email thread on that latest request devolved to the e.V. discussion Dec 20 14:49:35 their last proposed logo was: http://chymera.eu/img/ng.png Dec 20 14:51:23 are we looking for a decision there or..? Dec 20 14:51:54 it devolved into a debate if we could grant it or not Dec 20 14:52:10 personally I do not like a non-gentoo project with "Gentoo" in its name Dec 20 14:52:40 SwifT: and what about the logo? Dec 20 14:52:51 if he calls it something like "Neuro Overlay for Gentoo" Dec 20 14:53:09 the logo I don't mind Dec 20 14:53:46 robbat2: I think that would be service identification then, IMHO Dec 20 14:53:47 "Neuro Overlay for Gentoo" is better as I see that more as nominative use Dec 20 14:54:13 dabbott: do we have a listing of listing trademark usage approvals? Dec 20 14:54:34 no Dec 20 14:55:57 hmm I might want to relook into my disapproval for the name in the project Dec 20 14:56:04 haha Dec 20 14:56:08 I was just about to agree with you Dec 20 14:56:21 the new trademark seems to allow it under "products and services serving the community" Dec 20 14:57:32 so question is if an overlay is software (if yes, then not allowed) or informative (if yes, then allowed) Dec 20 14:58:06 Also curious if neuro4gentoo would be allowed Dec 20 14:58:54 i'll stay with my original opinion.. i do not agree with "gentoo" being in the name, unless it clearly is nominative use (such as "for Gentoo" or "4Gentoo") Dec 20 14:59:47 I am with swift here, as much as I would like to grant neurogentoo, it feels like its not defending the mark Dec 20 15:00:02 and we start down the slope of other people wanting similar uses Dec 20 15:00:17 i'm looking at other overlay names Dec 20 15:00:22 because I feel if we do deny him Dec 20 15:00:30 there are a lot of others we should also complain at Dec 20 15:00:35 there is precedent being set the other way, sure Dec 20 15:01:15 I think we should work on a policy that encompasses all of those ? Dec 20 15:01:21 http://gentoostudio.org/ Dec 20 15:02:59 yes, I can see that, as well as some other prior art examples of mixing gentoo into the name Dec 20 15:03:03 as community sites Dec 20 15:03:31 gentoostudio seems to be more informative, not? Dec 20 15:04:01 my main objection is against sfotware projects using the name Dec 20 15:04:19 yes, more of a guide and overlay Dec 20 15:04:20 is an overlay a software project? Dec 20 15:04:57 custom ebuilds? Dec 20 15:04:57 that's the main question here - but we own the trademark document so we can clarify how to deal with overlays... Dec 20 15:05:26 i mean if we agree with overlays using the name we can adapt the document to clarif that Dec 20 15:05:42 ok, we clarify it to say that ebuilds, and overlays are explicitly permitted Dec 20 15:05:56 other software with gentoo as part of the name is disallowed Dec 20 15:06:11 I am fine with that Dec 20 15:06:18 sounds good Dec 20 15:06:21 (ebuilds logically being that they are meant for gentoo even without being in an overlay) Dec 20 15:06:50 overlays should probably still include our required statements Dec 20 15:06:59 ok, i'll update the doc and mail it around Dec 20 15:07:13 saying they're unofficial and that gentoo is trademarked to gento foundation Dec 20 15:07:36 ok, pending that mail, we're tentaively approving NeuroGentoo Dec 20 15:07:52 so deferred for the moment Dec 20 15:08:21 funding / sponsorship / advertising: we dealt with SFC already, no other items Dec 20 15:08:29 Membership Applications: Dec 20 15:08:41 the following developers have applied for foundation membership: Dec 20 15:08:41 Jauhien Piatlicki (jauhien) Dec 20 15:08:45 Daniel Campbell (zlg) Dec 20 15:08:48 Yury German (blueknight) Dec 20 15:08:52 yes Dec 20 15:08:53 aye for all three Dec 20 15:08:54 aye Dec 20 15:08:57 aye Dec 20 15:08:59 (For all) Dec 20 15:09:04 (for all yes) Dec 20 15:09:24 I will update the member list and sent them an email Dec 20 15:09:27 motion: approve jauhien, zlg, blueknight passes Dec 20 15:09:32 gentoostudio is a gentoo stage4 with lots of pro audio stuff Dec 20 15:09:56 there are other stage4 Dec 20 15:10:02 stage4's out there as well Dec 20 15:10:25 neurogentoo might end up the same way, bootable media that you can use Dec 20 15:10:54 but not the distored G logo Dec 20 15:11:41 NeddySeagoon: NeuroGentoo posted a new logo, with a "brain activiation map" and the text "Neuro" on top of the G logo Dec 20 15:12:11 I've not seen that Dec 20 15:12:25 since you're on a phone, GentooStudio's logo has a bass clef on top of the G logo Dec 20 15:12:34 I'm home Dec 20 15:12:34 NeddySeagoon: http://chymera.eu/img/ng.png Dec 20 15:13:22 Hmm its still a distortion of our G logo. Thats circular. Dec 20 15:13:41 true Dec 20 15:13:49 tell him to fix the shape back? Dec 20 15:14:06 That would work for me. Dec 20 15:14:28 I don't like similar. Its too subjective Dec 20 15:15:02 Lawyers would have a field day saying its different. Dec 20 15:15:08 SwifT: when you amend the trademark doc, can you add some text like this: "We will not approve any variations of the Gentoo G logo that change the aspect ratio or otherwise distort the shape" Dec 20 15:15:18 NeddySeagoon: do you have any other old business? Dec 20 15:15:19 ok Dec 20 15:15:47 robbat2: I still need to write to the UK Gentoo Foundation Dec 20 15:15:55 NeddySeagoon: yes, we mentioned that ;-) Dec 20 15:16:15 you covered it in your email Dec 20 15:16:23 OK Dec 20 15:16:31 so nothing else then?
