Any other business

There was some discussion about changing the regular day and time of the meeting, which resulted in agreeing to try Thursdays at 21:00 UTC. Robert asked about the status of investigations into Directors and Officers insurance. Jimmy said he'd try to get some number for next months meeting. Robert also raised the subject of a restricted access git repository, eg for holding private contact details. Finally it was suggested that we ask Mishi to call the current registrant of debian.eu before initiating the .eu ADR process.

Adjournment

The meeting was adjourned until Thursday, December 15th, 2011 at 21:00 UTC in #spi on irc.spi-inc.org.
