1 openSUSE Jitsi instance for Board calls

2 Extra topic - Missing public minutes.
Gerald: checked the published minutes and some are still missing and
not published.
Marina: she has two pending minutes to send out. She will circulate
the draft for a final review.
Proposal from Gerald: for speeding up the publishing, just wait for
the feedback from two board members and then send out the final
minutes to the list.

3 Community platform domain
The board got a request from marketing community people for using
opensu.se domain
+ Vinz asked for more info like goal and scope.
+ Marketing people compared what Fedora is using now for community
services like for example URL shortner.
Issue: the proposed URL is owned by an individual community member.
+ Simon told that about 2 years ago the owner was in favour to
transfer the domain to the project.
+ Gerald suggests to try to ask first informally, not directly as
board, and try to ask what the owner is willing to do now.
AI: Vinz will try to contact the owner.
The discussion was moved to a generic level, trying to understand if
there are other domains to possibly register and if they are tracked
somewhere.

NOTEs:
* https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/64652
* https://progress.opensuse.org/projects/opensuse-admin-wik...
++ Geographical domains should only be used for localized community topics.

trusted people.

AI: Gerald replies to Ish for sharing what we discussed about
geographical domains and solicit
feedback.

4 Extra topic - Foundation:
follow-up and status from
https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/foundation_extra_resource

AI: Simon will try to recollect the document shared with SUSE internal.

5 Extra topic - Follow-up on Factory
A maintainers is willing to abandon the packages maintained.
Subject: "[opensuse-factory] Why am I no longer a maintainer of
graphics/OpenShadingLanguage"

a maintainer"
AI: Simon will try to contact Dave.

6 Extra topic - New SSO issue between Heroes and SUSE IT.
+ miss-communication between SUSE-IT and Heroes Team
+ both the groups worked in parallel without coordinating.
+ There is an agreement for now and the communication issue seems to
be solved for the moment.
+ Next steps will be discussed when the current IT migration will end.
