Board,

Based on the responses to my previous question about when to hold the
meeting, we'll do the board meeting on Saturday, April 17, 2021 at
2300 UTC.  According to my timezone math, that means 7:00 PM US
Eastern or 6:00 PM US Central for those of us in the US and Sunday,
April 18 at 8:00 AM for Peter and 11:00 AM for Eion.

Unless someone has a better option, we'll use Zoom for the meeting
again.  Only I need to be logged in (as the host).  Everyone else can
use just the webapp version unless you're joining from an Android or
iOS device.  The meeting will be recorded, primarily for Gary's
benefit for preparing the minutes, but it will also be posted on the
imfreedom.org website.  The details are here:

Topic: Instant Messaging Freedom 2021 Board Meeting

Thus far I have the following for an agenda:

IM Freedom 2021 Board Meeting Agenda

Treasurer’s report from John

Election of officers and board members
    Re-elect all officers to current positions
        President - John Bailey
        Vice President - Matthew Needham
        Secretary - Gary Kramlich
        Treasurer - John Bailey
    Re-elect everyone to the board
        John Bailey
        Matthew Needham
        Gary Kramlich
        Ethan Blanton
        Richard Laager
        Peter Lawler
        Eion Robb
        Colin Barrett

Old Business
    Discussion of revival of charter in Delaware
    Discussion of Amazon Smile
    Infrastructure update from Gary

New Business
    Pidgin has been accepted to the Google Summer of Code, this will be
    primarily driven by Gary and Elliott, but Eion and John will have
    some involvement, being backup organization admins and John being
    the IMF treasurer.  Gary may wish to discuss further.

    Request for reimbursement to Gary for code-signing certificate.

    Request to authorize John to buy and reimburse himself for an Apple
    M1 Mac Mini for assisting Gary in MacOS development and testing.
    Estimating approximately $1200-1250 after taxes and shipping.  We
    want an upgrade from the base model so that it remains useful
    longer and doesn’t succumb to the internal SSD being written to
    death with the base configuration.  John is willing to put $300 in
    personally, plus cover shipping, so IMF expense will be about $900.

    Request for reimbursement to John for two Gandi domain purchase
    orders (Renew pidgin.im, adium.im, and adium.org and purchase
    pidginchat.com) totalling $105.40.

    Amend by-laws to use John’s home address as the legal address of
    the corporation.  (His address is already public record and subject
    to snail mail spam for other reasons, so this isn’t going to cause
    any issues for him.)


If anyone needs to add to the agenda, please reply to the list and not
to me directly.

Thanks,
John

G'day John,
All good for me, except...

2300 UTC is 1100AM Eastern Australian time (myself)* and 1300 NZT (Eion)
and not as indicated.

On the Zoom note, yeah that seems to be the go. Had a job interview the
other day using Google Meet, and due to Linux having a hard time seeing the
webcam (it'd work in VLC but everything else was having a fit) I went with
it under Windows and though it worked it would inevitably blue screen. The
only option I had was to have a warm Chromebook on standby. Hopefully
that'll go down as a plus for the IT Technician planning column for the gig
heh. Looks like it didn't like the slightly overlocked machine ugh who
writes this stuff???

Cheers,

Pete.

* Yeeeahhh, non-summertime is the easiest UTC conversion for eastern
seaboard Australia ;-)

Sorry, Pete, I had the wrong UTC offsets for you and Eion.  I had
thought Eion was +12 and you were +9.  I'll try to keep this in mind
for next year.
