 IRC Log at http://irclogs.geoapt.com/osgeo/%23osgeo.2014-06-12.log
* 20:00 Meeting starts
* 20:05 Previous meeting minutes approved
* 20:07 Sponsoring LocationTech Tour 2014
** aghisla: andrew mentioned that any osgeo member can have presentations at LT events
** aghisla: i also see it as something that osgeo could organise too
** jmckenna: why do we so fast approve such an event but require so much from our own osgeo code sprint events?
** aghisla: because here the decision is simple, does not involve writing our own bureaucracy :)
* 20:14 Discuss charter and board elections plan
** jorge have examined lime survey (http://osgeo.limequery.com/index.php/714821/lang-en) and we will use this for the elections
** jorge is proposing the following timeline: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Talk:Election_2014
** 20:16 jsanz joins the meeting
** aghisla: i like limesurvey, I used it in the past and osgeo-fr use it as well for elections since a while
** jsanz: I'd prefer to do it all the election before august, so most of the people are not on vacations, more or less
** 20:19 CameronShorter joins the meeting
** discussion about how many new members will OSGeo accept. Numbers are varying between 20 and 30 up to 'all' people. 
** CameronShorter: An alternative would be to define a criteria for automatically accepting a charter member (eg PSM of a osgeo project)
** dmorissette:	I see the potential value in CameronShorter's idea, but unfortunately it could be complicated to manage, so I prefer to keep things simple, FrankW concurs with dmorissette.
** Discussion result: we are tight of time, we stick with the old procedure for this time and start to organize things for next election process
** CameronShorter:	Ok, propose: Cameron draft a proposed voting process within 48 hrs, community review for 1 week, will include auto accepting as charter members people voted into specific positions within OSGeo roles, plus up to a fixed number (10) open positions.
* 20:00 Next face-to-face meeting
