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.

University presentation (Jack)

 * Greg suggests that it is a straight-up "change the world" recruiting pitch.
 * 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.

LinuxTag (Max)

 * Continue to support GeroldKassube, solidify the budget requirements.
