** ST spoke with Rafallea Branconi and she "feels comfortable with the current setup with 2 pootle servers.'we will monitor these more closely to see whether they are as reliable as we need it. Sophie argued that language partition is inefficient and that we should partition by region instead. Discussion to continue

  • Budget (Sophie) SPI Info needed see mail – Action: Louis/Sophie contacted SPI and Louis is sending MHU notifications of donations; link to SPI repository on donation page (http://contributing.openoffice.org/donate.html). L/S attended last Board meeting as observers and will participate more actively to run for office. (Why SPI? Because makes it easier for US residents to pay via cheque or credit card.)

This means this year the MP will be awarding OOoCon 09 and 10, then next year OOoCon 11, etc. As time was short, John agreed to continue this conversation on the CC list. Action John--completed
