ACTION: Federico to draft policies for @gnome.org email aliases, CVS access, and FTP access. => about to send it ACTION: Maciej to email the Board the current draft of the platform license policy for review. => still pending Basically the Board sucked w.r.t. doing it's ACTIONs items, boooo! Discussion: =========== - Outstanding actions: 1.4.1 coordinators, CVS/ftp/email/etc. policy, license policy, etc. Federico worked on this but didn't yet made it available to the rest of the board yet. - Discussed potential press release announcements for LinuxWorld It might be a bit too early for a 2.0 but would be okay for a Beta 1 - Gnome 2.0 There is concerns that people are adding to HEAD, not stabilizing it, working that way there is few chances we can ship in time. Seems that porting the stable branch to GTK-2.0 sounds a more reliable way to end up with something stable. Some libgnome APIs needs to be removed by their new GTK counterparts, but we should avoid unstable changes at the Gnome level. - Hardware for gnome.org, no response from people we've asked, pursue other avenues We got no real response to our requests for hardware. It's not a crisis but it is annoying, mail Dave Mason <dcm@redhat.com> is there is a good contact point to ask. - Revival of the X conference the new X Technical Conference will be done in coordination with ALS this year, Owen, Frederico, and Jim are on the program committee. Gnome hackers working the GUI level should consider submitting papers. Proposals must be received by July 3, 2001. http://www.usenix.org/events/xfree86/ Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | Red Hat Network http://redhat.com/products/network/ veillard@redhat.com | libxml Gnome XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ http://veillard.com/ | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/ Sep 17-18 2001 Brussels Red Hat TechWorld http://www.redhat-techworld.com _______________________________________________ foundation-announce mailing list foundation-announce@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-announce
