Call to Order
-------------
The chairman calls the meeting to order at 20:01 UTC.


Treasurer's report
------------------
Gary Poster sent in a report via email before the meeting. The
combined foundation funds stand at $ 62,657.35. Gary has sent all 
treasurer documents to the current treasurer. 

Gary has been contacted by Corporation in Delaware about Delaware taxes,
due March 1, he has handed all information to Jeff Rush, who promised 
to work on this before the deadline.

He also announces that he will not stand as a board candidate for the 
next board period.


Membership committee
--------------------
No new members have joined since the last meeting.

The reminder email for sponsor members to renew their membership has not 
been sent out yet. The board discusses options for message wording. The 
secretary will handle composing and sending the email.


Repository committee
--------------------
The repository committee report is skipped because Andreas and 
Christian are absent. The chair and the secretary have not noticed
any new applications coming in.


Tabled business
---------------
The domain name transfer and Subversion repository move 
items remain tabled.


New Business
------------
The chairman is still trying to complete the trail of old documents 
regarding the non-profit application and any tax-related issues. 
Some of it is in the box of documents Gary Poster sent the treasurer,
who promises to go through the contents and scan the relevant papers.

The chairman asks for opinions on the draft annual meeting announcement
email. The board agrees that it's in good shape for sending out. The 
announcement will not just go to internal foundation lists but to 
the community as a whole. Any items that might need debating will be 
handled via email to the foundation list beforehand. The goal is to 
have a roll-call style vote at the meeting.


Arranging the next meeting date
-------------------------------
The vice chair will set up a Doodle for the next meeting date.


Adjournment
-----------
The chairman adjourns the meeting at 20:26 UTC.

These minutes were written by the secretary, Jens Vagelpohl, 
according to the notes taken during the meeting.

These minutes were posted to the foundation-board at zope.org mailing
list and approved by all participating directors on February 07, 2012.

The chairman bid the secretary keep these minutes on file.
