Non-FOSS content

SoaS DP

We praised the work done by the SoaS DP even though they did not submit a final report to the oversight board by its deadline. We discussed Q1 and Q2. (Q3 will be discussed at the next meeting.)

MOTION 2: Question 1: Yes, SL is and should be a GNU/Linux distributor.

Motion failed (3 for; 3 against; 1 abstain)

MOTION 3: SL wishes to spread the use of Sugar and consequently works with GNU/Linux distros to produce and offer downloadable versions. This work can include helping to promote distros, and hosting them.

Motion passed (6 for; 0 against; 1 abstain)

MOTION 4: "Question 2: SL should not be completely neutral about promoting distros, but it should only choose to more strongly promote a distro based on technical merit and maintainer activity, and should publish the criteria it uses for making that decision. Furthermore, SL should be neutral about providing infrastructure resources (hosting, etc) to distros."

Motion passed (4 for; 1 against; 1 abstain; 1 vote yet to be counted)

An amendment to Motion 4 has been proposed and will be discussed at the next meeting.

Trademark policy

To be continued next time.
