NPO

 * JeroenVanMeeuwen sent the latest draft of the NPO statutes to the mailing list, incorporating some of the comments made on the first draft. GeroldKassube indicates that the financial department in Germany still needs to "OK" the first draft and that is just to indicate there are no fundamental problems - nothing official about their answer -. We've set up a page ( http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/EMEA/BoardElections ) where you can self-nominate if you would want to run for board and the law requires a minimum of 4 people on the board, and so far 4 people have nominated themselves.  Note that amongst those 4 is MaxSpevack, who regretably will not be able to attend FOSDEM and can therefore not be elected Again, that's a requirement by law and not something we made up on the spot.


 * GeroldKassube and JeroenVanMeeuwen have been thinking about postponing the foundation if there is 1) not enough candidates for board, or 2) if the ambassadors think max should be there when it all goes down 3) whatever other reason you can think of. There was a parol "OK" by a German financial department for the first draft (?), but nothing in written form, yet.

Open stage

 * ChitleshGoorah did a presentation for Fedora Electronic Lab, http://chitlesh.fedorapeople.org/FEL/fel-fabless-solutions.pdf, please pass it on to those you may know who might interested. I talked about where FEL applications can be used and how academic institutions might take advantage of it.
