Subject: [openbeos] August 28, 2006 Haiku Admin Meeting Summary
Date: Wed, 30 Aug 2006 19:31:54 -0700
Dear Haiku Fans,
In order to make the Haiku Project a bit more transparent to everyone, we
have decided to publish a summary of the weekly admin meetings held every
Monday at 6:00PM US EST.
This summary is for informational purposes only, and it is meant to give
you a snapshot of what was discussed, and the decisions that were made at
each meeting.
Enjoy!
Jorge Mare (a.k.a. Koki) on behalf of
The Haiku Admin Group

TOPICS & SUMMARIES
# Admin meetings summary disclosure
* The disclosure of admin meetings summary for informational purposes was
approved.
* Starting with this meeting, a summary is scheduled to be sent to the
Haiku mailing list every week.
# WalterCon 2006
* The hotel where WalterCon will be held is to be decided before long
* Progress has been made in securing sponsorships for the conference
* Some special events were discussed (to be disclosed at a later date)
* The attendance of a couple of core devs was approved
* All details of WalterCon to be officially announced soon
# New website progress
There was consensus that Waldemar, Petter and Gavin are working together
nicely, and that both organization of content and redesign of front page
are moving in the right direction. Progress will be monitored closely.
# Icon Contest
* The "Best Rated Icon Set" certificate design was approved.
# Financials
* A proposal to subject expenses higher than a certain amount to approval
by the admins was made, and discussed. No decision could be reached on this
topic, and will therefore be discussed again in a future meeting.
# Marcom team
* Petter Holt Juliussen joining of the marcom team was approved.
# Haiku Meetings
(Special thanks to our friend Joe B. of Irvine, CA, who suggested this
idea.)
* The concept of "Haiku Meetings" was introduced & discussed
* The idea is to set a fixed monthly date and time for meetings to be held,
and let community members initiate the meetings at their locations of
choice. The initiators email the location of their meeting, and Haiku
publishes a list the meetings on the website for everyone to see. After
each meeting, the initiators will be requested to email the results of
meeting (number of attendess, topics discussed, etc.) to Haiku; Haiku may
choose to publish some of this content in some form.
* This idea was received well, and will be further explored for future
implementation.
============================================
The next Haiku Admin Meeting is scheduled for:
Monday September 4, 2006, at 6:00PM US EST.
