pramsey is now the board rep on the 2014 LOC
dfuhriman:	We'd like to get that contract approved ASAP.
FrankW_PL notes we (the board) need to see and approve a budget before
signing should occur.
FrankW_PL observes that the conservative attendance scenario is not very
conservative.
dfuhriman: All of this is made up, it's meaningless, don't take any of
it as truth. it's just a placeholder.
pramsey expected to review and approve the budget

MOTION: board to approve the Code Sprint Guidelines (passed)

[20:34 UTC] Make a formal motion about potential inactive Charter members
MOTION: Current OSGeo Charter members who have not voted in the last two
board and charter elections will be invited (via email) to move from the
current OSGeo-Charter member list to a Past OSGeo Charter Members list,
and will loose their voting rights. These emailed members may either
respond with a commitment to vote in future elections, or be moved. Not
responding within 3 weeks would result in being moved. To be
reintroduced to Charter member status, the past Charter member would
need to be selected again using the standard Charter member selection
process. (passed)

[20:50 UTC] Discuss OSGeo involvement with partner organizations
Suchith is doing a wonderful job at pushing the importance of Education,
as well as the OGC-OSGeo relationship
ICA-OSGeo Labs celebrate today the 50th Lab.
(25th at 10am UK) there will be a conference call regarding
this....hopefully with myself, Mark from OGC, Denise from OGC, Suchith,
etc.. regarding OGC/OSGeo relationship. Arnulf i hope as well
these are meetings with an agenda, with specific goals (between the
OGC-OSGeo relationship)...essentially this is continuing the momentum of
our F2F dinner with the OGC
jmckenna:	like it or not the president of both orgs should be meeting,
talking. so i am hesitant to push this off. but i don't consider me a
champion...i'm folllowing the lead of Suchith and you Anne.

[21:02 UTC] I proposed Anne as LocationTech liaison. (passed)

[21:05 UTC] Next meeting: november 14th
