	     Matthieu Herrb, Matthias Hopf, Bart Massey, Keith Packard
 * Absent:   Eric Anholt

=== Reports, Discussion & Decisions ===

==== Election Committee ====

The election committee members reported that only 2 members had
accepted nominations so far for the 4 open slots, with only 1.5 hours
left until the deadline.  The committee members voted to extend the
deadline by another week.

==== Treasurer Status ====

Stuart reported he got the package from Keith with the necessary
paperwork for updating the bank account access, and that most of the
checks were sent out.

Discussion was held on changing the checking account from requiring
two signatures per check to only requiring one.  The bylaws currently
require two, which led into...

==== Bylaw Amendments ====

Bart brought up that our Bylaws need amending for various issues, such
as the check signing requirements.  Since this requires a vote of the
members, it would be convenient to include in the upcoming election.
Matthias agreed to ask Egbert if he still has the original editable
document, instead of just the PDF posted on the web site.  Alex will
check his notes from discussions with SFLC lawyers to see if there was
anything we needed to change for the 501(c)3 conversion.

==== SFLC Donation ====

Bart asked if we'd ever sent a donation to SFLC as discussed multiple
times.  Stuart said he'd never gotten told an amount to send.  Alan
will check the previous minutes for the decision.

==== Google Summer of Code ====

Google announced GSoC 2011 at LCA last week.  Stephane Marchesin
agreed to be the project administrator for X.Org again this year,
and will submit our application when the group applications open.
