* ESC tender project proposal process (Thorsten & Florian)
     + next step (Florian)
       + by this week: have effort estimates checked by TDF staff (Xisco)
         + have some items from 2021 and all from 2022 and some from 2023 that arrived before the deadline (Ilmari)
         + idea is to get some feedback from ESC, but the question is who does the cost estimates
         + need more time to evaluate items (Xisco)
         + already started, need to do more
         + what to do with the estimates once have it? (Xisco)
           + would suggest defaulting to public (Thorsten)
           + update them in the wiki
           + if that doesn't work, then track it in a spreadsheet
           + good to have 2 independent estimates
           + would be nice to have a cut-off date
           + from the board side: desperately need a budget
           + but take your time, it's good to do it properly
           + idea for speedup: just cut out ideas without cost estimates
           + there will be a next budget in 7 months anyway
       + propose a separate call, for those who want to rank (Thorsten)
         + precondition: there should be a majority of non-bidders in that setup
         + possible that we'll need some of the ecosystem companies not showing up
         + do it in 1 or 2 weeks?
         + in 2 weeks sounds reasonable (Xisco)
         + if in 2 weeks: then ideally should discuss & already decide (Thorsten)
         + so it'll be necessary to prepare for the call
         + in the call: have a near-final draft + decide
           + who leads that call?
           + somebody has to count, to avoid majority of bidders, to be discussed next week
AI: prepare the sheet with the ideas + estimates (Ilmari, Xisco)
         + suggest to re-use the ESC call timeslot for this if it works for everyone (Miklos)
         + no objections, let's decide next week (Thorsten)
AI: update Caolan's affiliation on the TDF / ESC page (Ilmari)
