[[!format txt """
ITEM: XDC2022/XDC2023

ACTIONS:
STATUS: Pending

ITEM: GSoC/Outreachy/EVoC
Approved EVoC project for one student, discussion around having a member of the
board dedicated to handling GSoC/EVoC interactions so that we can make sure
that we're continuing to be active here.
ACTIONS:
STATUS: Pending

ITEM: SFC
Alyssa mentioned that we should reeive an email sometime next week to schedule
a meeting with SFC to begin the transition
ACTIONS:
STATUS: Pending

ITEM: Rebranding
The change to the by-laws failed the vote. It's important to note here that the result wasn't a case of people voting no, but a direct result of the by-law we were trying to change which would have made member votes dependent on the results amongst members who actively voted (right now, members who did not vote yes or no are taken into account). So, we're now looking into some alternative ways in order to accomplish re-branding without changing the name of the foundation itself for the time being
ACTIONS:
STATUS: Pending

ITEM: Matrix
No updates here yet
ACTIONS:
STATUS: Pending Done

ITEM: New board positions
ACTIONS: We will be voting on these next week to give new board members time to ask questions. But also, welcome to our new board members!
