21:10 #spi: < schultmc> totte: to get Chakra setup in our donation system please follow the instructions at http://www.spi-inc.org/treasurer/newprojects/
21:11 #spi: < Noodles> bdale: Nothing from me.
21:11 #spi: < Noodles> Oh. Wait. Elections.
21:11 #spi: < bdale> heh
21:11 #spi: < Solver> Nothing else from me today
21:11 #spi: < Noodles> We have them coming up.
21:11 #spi: < Noodles> Observers should consider if they want to run. Outgoing board members should as well.
21:12 #spi: < bdale> so, the usual topics would include whether we want/need to scrub the member list before the election?
21:12 #spi: < Ganneff> who goes out this time?
21:12 #spi: < Solver> 4 places will be open this election, right?
21:12 #spi: < Noodles> We've got 3 seats up, tbm, Solver + Clint.
21:13 #spi: < Noodles> bdale: Realistically we're not going to scrub the member list before the election.
21:13 #spi: < bdale> ok
21:13 #spi: < bdale> so, I think we should move on a call for nominations ASAP
21:14 #spi: < Noodles> Ok. I can mail -announce and -general in the next week.
21:14 #spi: < bdale> good, thanks
21:15 #spi: < bdale> I would encourage board members and observers here to "shake the trees" a bit .. I'd be pleased to see all currently expiring members re-elected if they choose to run again, but I also think this is an excellent opportunity for us to expand our reach a bit and find more people interested in doing good things for SPI, whether through holding a board seat or in other ways
21:15 #spi:  * Noodles agrees.
21:15 #spi: < bdale> ok, anything else?
21:15 #spi: < bdale> [item 9, Next board meeting]
21:15 #spi: < bdale> Our next regularly-scheduled monthly meeting would be 10 July 2014, 20:00 UTC.
21:15 #spi: < bdale> Any strong objections?
21:15 #spi: < Noodles> This will be the AGM.
21:15 #spi: < bdale> ah .. report time?
21:16 #spi: < Noodles> Yup.
21:17 #spi: < o11c> AGM = ?
21:17 #spi: < schultmc> Annual General Meeting
21:17 #spi: < bdale> ok, let's try and get the report done on time this year .. and yes, I know I was the primary hold-up last time
21:17 #spi: < bdale> who will take the lead on pulling it together this year?
21:18 #spi: < Noodles> We didn't actually have one last year.
21:18 #spi:  * bdale ducks
21:18 #spi: < Noodles> I can work from the 2012 one to provide a base.
21:18 #spi: < bdale> ok, thanks
21:18 #spi: < Noodles> It needs a welcome from the president and the annual summary from the treasurer.
21:19 #spi: < Noodles> But let me sort out the skeleton first.
21:19 #spi: < bdale> fair enough .. I'll get a welcome done soonest
21:19 #spi: < Noodles> Cool.
