  interested please reach out to Marina Latini <deneb_alpha@opensuse.org>
  and Douglas DeMaio <ddemaio@suse.com>.
  (Gertjan is going to help via IRC and with submission reviews.)
* KDE will celebrate their 24th anniversary on the first day of the event,
  so there may be opportunity for some joint celebration.

== Marina has joined SUSE ==

* Since there's only a single elected SUSE employee on the current board
  this does not impact the constitution of the board. 
* Marina is going to update https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Board .

== Minutes of this meeting ==

* We'll strive to do better going forward.

  for resolution soon.

== openSUSE.Asia Summit 2020 proposal ==

* We received what looks like a nicely worked out proposal.
