FISL (Greg)

Greg will be there. He has been in touch with Rodrigo Padula and David Barzilay and Greg will bring them money.
Is there an engineer at Red Hat they would like to see there?
Have localized spins (Brazilian Portugese) been created? If not, we'll create them.

Jack will have a slide deck/general mock-up of presentation for next week. Include "Truth Happens".
Press proposal to Leigh's group this week.
Talk to someone in HR about Red Hat swag to bring along.
Talk to Mike Esser about bringing a video guy along somewhere.

Florida Linux Show (Jack)

Jack needs to find out from Kyle what the Fedora area will actually be and look like.
event report on Fedora planet.

start.fedoraproject.org (Greg)

Greg met with Jennifer Venable (Online Services business/operations person). No business decision owner to force the remaining issues through legal.
Option 1: continue to try to push through the negotiated deal. Unlikely without taking on ownership, which carries with it a lot of headaches.
Option 2: click-through agreement that anyone can sign. Could be used to prove the larger case. start.fedoraproject.org is an exception from this standard agreement.
Can we even own this? If we cannot, is it worth the pain to us to get it done?
Jennifer is looking at the options, and will give us more information. Seems like it is a Fedora-only proposal at this point.
Once we have more information and can make a clear recommendation to the Board, we will.

Global event calendar (Max)

Need to promote this on one of the top Fedora pages. Add "meet" to fp.o.

Continue to support GeroldKassube, solidify the budget requirements.
