| − | *'''AI''': Sophie to write the minutes
| + | |
| − | *'''AI''': All: read LS-P's proposal again; debate on list; come to next meeting ready to vote
| + | |
| − | *'''AI''': LS-P: organize the elections asap
| + | |
| − | *'''AI''': LS-P: circulate a trademark proposal for consideration on the list by the CC in time for the next meeting

| − | ** There was no minutes to approve
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | * '''Elections'''
| + | Jürgen will write up a summary regarding the internship 2010 (AI Jürgen), this should be published soon. Jürgen stated that the internship was quite successful and many of the results are expected to get integrated into the code. |
| − | ** Louis proposed to add the leads of the category to the people eligible for a CC seat (beyond the project leads).
| + | |
| − | ** We have agreed to defer Louis' proposal to change the rules to the next meeting to let members give it proper consideration.
| + | |
| − | ** We agreed that elections have to be done with the present rules
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | *'''Trademark'''
| + | There was a longer discussion on how sustainable these internships are, quite controversially. Even if interns don't show up after their internship has been finished and we don#t see them all acting as multiplicators it seems useful to run the Internship again. |
| − | ** As there is no proposal written yet to take in consideration, this item is reported to the next meeting
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | *'''Update on OOoCon 2008'''
| + | === Activities of the project === |
| − | ** The CfP has gone out
| + | |
| − | ** The AB won't be solicited any more as a sponsor and Peter will be contacting potential sponsors directly
| + | |
| − | ** The team have come up with cool OOoCon logo including a cute panda
| + | |
| − | ** Number of received proposals will be check off line
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | *'''Community Growth Plan'''
| + | There's a lack of visibility of the OpenOffice.org project between releases. We are in the moment too weak on PR and other things. The OpenOffice.org 3.3 release had some good coverage in the press. |
| − | ** The proposal is to have a team look at this and develop a proposal. Core members are Louis, John, Stefan, Sophie, Cor, plus any other community members they choose to involve
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | *'''AB to define clearly its role in OOo'''
| + | Contributions from non Oracle developers have decreased. It was suggested to invest in areas of the OpenOffice.org product where it is easy for 3rd party vendors to provide their own work. We already have a good basis for this with the template and extension repositories. |
| − | ** We action Sophie to draft a letter on the list so we can formally vote on it next meeting
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | ===IRC Log===
| + | For the Templates site there is some room for improvement: |
| − | See the [[Community_Council_Minutes_20080522]]
| + | * better and more templates |
| | + | * leveraging the voting system |
| | + | * better search capabilities, better categorization |
| | + | * better integration in the template dialog, integrated search etc. |

| − | * Absent: John McCreesh (conflicting event)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Activity Items===
| + | |
| − | * '''AI''': Sophie to contact candidates for creating the support/certification criteria. Discussions can be held on the public certification list in documentation project.
| + | |
| − | * '''AI''': LSP: start elections for CCR
| + | |
| − | * '''AI''': LSP: ask at trademark list for reasons to actively defend trademark (would we loose trademark, if we do not defend it?)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Minutes===
| + | |
| − | * Note: We used—or tried to—the wiki for the agenda this meeting. That did not work out.
| + | |
| − | * '''Elections'''
| + | |
| − | ** Proposal: To start them immediately after OOoCon, beginning with the Community Contributor followed shortly (two weeks later) with other CC elections. As usual, we will announce elections to all the major lists.
| + | |
| − | ** Action: accepted
| + | |
| − | * '''Trademark'''
| + | |
| − | ** Synopsis of the issues regarding the trademark: status quo of team OpenOffice.org e.V. Owning US trademark and Sun the defending it elsewhere.
| + | |
| − | ** question about reasons to sell trademark to sun arose. Possible reason: we would loose trademark if we do not defend it (Team OOo who actually owns the TM in US does not have the ressource to defend it)
| + | |
| − | ** Proposal: to vote to continue discussions on the above point—status quo.--on the trademark list.
| + | |
| − | ** Action: let's discuss it more on the list and find out precisely from Sun the legal issues at stake.
| + | |
| − | *'''Training and certification''' yes, this again.
| + | |
| − | ** Proposal: to clarify the issue. ECDL and others want to certify users of OOo and the issue is, how do we participate. Drafting criteria has not worked out: no one wants to do it. But if we want to postion OpenOffice.org so that it s relevant, it seems needed.
| + | |
| − | ** AI Sophie inquire about funding someone to drive the criteria for payment. The CC would provide the funds via Team OpenOffice.org.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Other items===
| + | |
| − | * Do we need to change the structure and charter?
| + | |
| − | ** Action: There was a fair amount of discussion on the issue and the answer was no. Of the things that were suggested (see below) the changes were procedural, not substantive. The issue was that we need to enjoin participation by the council members. It's too easy for things to go slack. Regarding a change of the Council due to new companies joining the community, it was discussed, that this would rather imply a new board instead of adding companies to the concil.
| + | |
| − | * After discussion, in which we even re-read the Charter, we agreed on the following:
| + | |
| − | ** Timeframe must be stipulated in the message to [mailto:discuss@concil discuss@council] (if a council member fails to vode within the timeframe she is considered as "Absent from Council Participation" as written at pt. VI n of the Council Charter)
| + | |
| − | ** We keep with consensus (if one member continously blockes votes, this might be considered as misconduct and dealt wiht according pt. IV, b, iv, iii of the coincil charter)
| + | |
| − | ** Use wiki to post agenda, minutes
| + | |
| − | ** Drop [mailto:agenda@council agenda@council] and use a wiki page, the last week's minutes; minutes would also be posted to the date titled page and linked to from the usual places, such as the OOo logon page.
| + | |
| − | * We also more tentatively agreed to have standard agenda items:
| + | |
| − | ** finances
| + | |
| − | ** community events
| + | |
| − | ** And we agreed, provisionally to hold meetings once a month at minimum but also whenever there are pressing issues
| + | |
| − | * We also discussed the possibility of including new permanent members, in the same capacity as Stefan, but the conclusion was that though this may be in fact what occurs, it's at the moment hypothetical occasion,.

Some discussion about the Councils offer of their availability as community contacts to Oracle.
Jürgen will write up a summary regarding the internship 2010 (AI Jürgen), this should be published soon. Jürgen stated that the internship was quite successful and many of the results are expected to get integrated into the code.
There was a longer discussion on how sustainable these internships are, quite controversially. Even if interns don't show up after their internship has been finished and we don#t see them all acting as multiplicators it seems useful to run the Internship again.
There's a lack of visibility of the OpenOffice.org project between releases. We are in the moment too weak on PR and other things. The OpenOffice.org 3.3 release had some good coverage in the press.
Contributions from non Oracle developers have decreased. It was suggested to invest in areas of the OpenOffice.org product where it is easy for 3rd party vendors to provide their own work. We already have a good basis for this with the template and extension repositories.
Also the integration of content feeds (blogs, news, other references) within the startup were discussed (like Netbeans, MS Developer Studio, etc. do).
Preparation for the upcoming 3.4 release are ongoing, activities in the QA and l10n projects are recovering again from last years “event”.
Plan is to prepare internship for 2011 with focus with above topics (template and extension site integration), Stefan will ask for providing mentorship again. Especially the re-design of the template dialog might require some more efforts, more money will be put on this if required.
