		Alex Deucher, Matthieu Herrb, Bart Massey
 * Absent:   Matthias Hopf, Keith Packard

=== Reports, Discussion & Decisions ===

==== Election Committee ====

The final slate of 6 candidates was posted to the members mailing list.

==== Treasurer Status ====

Stuart reported that HSBC is processing the paperwork to get him the
electronic security device to access the accounts online.

==== Bylaw Amendments ====

The board members agreed it was too late to try to get bylaw amendments in
for this election, and that we should continue working to determine what
to change for a future vote.

Raising the per-company limit from 2 members to 3 was suggested for
consideration in the bylaw amendments, as that still keeps any company
from having a majority of board members.

==== SFLC Donation ====

Search of the past minutes found discussion of SFLC donations but no vote on
an actual donation amount.   Donnie suggested an initial donation of $7500,
and an ongoing annual pledge of $2000.   The board unanimously voted in favor.

==== X.Org Machine hosting at MIT ====

Freedesktop.org is getting new hardware and has offered to transfer the
services from expo.x.org, which is currently hosted at MIT, to a virtual
machine on one of their new systems.   This would allow the Foundation to
stop paying MIT for hosting of aging hardware systems.

The board voted to accept this offer.
