Agenda

• LCA 2012 update
  Progressing nicely.

• LCA bid process
  In hand. Council is liaising with bid teams to arrange a visit.

• Budget progress for new financial year (provisionally starting 1 October)
  Postponed, treasurer not able to dial in.

• Drupal Down Under 2012
  Three confirmed keynotes.

    On hold pending harassment and diversity policy work.
  • Harassment
    Tidy up before LCA registrations open.
  • Diversity
    Work on a draft.

• SGM planning
  • Treasurer's report
    The auditor needs to fix up two items, waiting for that. Both John and Josh are happy with it now.
  • Constitutional amendments
    John has set up a git repository with the new model constitution and is creating each new amendment as a commit. We'll use this to create a list of amendments that we can send to linux-aus for discussion. About a week after that, we can announce the SGM.
    Would prefer to have the SGM before the end of July, requires 21 days notice.

• Moving to Mediawiki
  Peter is working on this, theme issues.

• Non-Paypal payment gateways
  Josh is looking into these.

  Proposed: John
  Seconded: Mary
  Carried unanimousy.

• New Hardware
  Speaking with a potential sponsor.
