* 2022-03-14 (Neal) and 2022-04-11 (?) minutes missing from the Wiki
* In general we should improve handling of minutes.
* Now giving live, collaborative collection of minutes on Etherpad a try.
* Axel proposes to have meeting minutes reviewed by Wed (2359 UTC) 
  after the meeting, so minutes can be sent out by Thursday morning.

== Travel Support Program (TSP) ==

* Practical challenges arose on the SUSE (Finance) side executing on the TSP
* Doug working this, trying to find a solution - next meeting tomorrow

== Board session at oSC ==

* Leave "meet the board at the end of the conference" (has worked well in the past)
* Add a "fork in the road" session on day 1
* Options may be
** keep things as they are
** try moving towards a foundation for real
** find a lean solution able to accept donations, spend...

== #45 Plan for board meeting before oSC ==

* https://code.opensuse.org/board/tickets/issue/45
* May 31st + June 1st
* Who is able to come?
** Attila probably not?
** Mau maybe?
* If Attila or Mau aren't able to come in person, shift the schedule to run from morning to early
(max. mid) afternoon
* Gerald wonders what worked well / not well in the past for such meetings
* Everyone feel free to add topics in the ticket.
* AI Doug and Gerald: look into how travel and accomodation for board members can be organized
