Secretary's report
Jonathan McDowell has now taken over completely from Martin Zobel-Helas as secretary. Martin is thanked for his work in this role and wished all the best with his forthcoming baby.
Resolutions for YafaRay and sidux as associated projects were posted to spi-general at the end of November. They've both been outstanding for a while and little feedback has been received from the membership, so both are assumed to be uncontentious.
Resolution 2009-11-27.jmd.1: YafaRay as associated project (proposed)
WHEREAS 1. YafaRay is a substantial and useful open source project. 2. YafaRay would like SPI's support and assistance, including taking donations. THE SPI BOARD RESOLVES THAT 3. YafaRay is formally invited to become an SPI Associated Project, according to the SPI Framework for Associated Projects, SPI Resolution 1998-11-16.iwj.1-amended-2004-08-10.iwj.1, a copy of which can be found at https://www.spi-inc.org/corporate/resolutions/2004/2004-08-10.iwj.1 4. Currently, Alvaro Luna Bautista is recognised by SPI as the current authoritative decision maker and SPI liaison for YafaRay. Successors will be appointed by the YafaRay Team, as listed on http://www.yafaray.org/about 5. This invitation will lapse, if not accepted, 60 days after it is approved by the SPI Board.
Resolution 2009-11-27.jmd.2: sidux as associated project (proposed)
WHEREAS 1. sidux is a substantial and useful open source project. 2. sidux would like SPI's support and assistance, including taking donations. THE SPI BOARD RESOLVES THAT 3. sidux is formally invited to become an SPI Associated Project, according to the SPI Framework for Associated Projects, SPI Resolution 1998-11-16.iwj.1-amended-2004-08-10.iwj.1, a copy of which can be found at https://www.spi-inc.org/corporate/resolutions/2004/2004-08-10.iwj.1 4. Currently, Ferdinand Thommes is recognised by SPI as the current authoritative decision maker and SPI liaison for sidux. In the event of the liaison becoming unavailable the treasurer of sidux e.V. (currently Walter Güldenberg) will act as temporary liaison and notify SPI of any replacement liaison. 5. This invitation will lapse, if not accepted, 60 days after it is approved by the SPI Board.
