Dear community,

find below the public agenda for the

TDF board meeting
on Friday, March 27th at 1300 Berlin time

*IMPORTANT* During the last meetings, we experienced problems with the web conference when more than approximately 15 participants joined the call. Audio was cut off for some and there was a huge delay for others.

We are truly sorry for the inconveniences. The community (thanks a lot to everyone involved!) has in parallel run several tests and we want to evaluate an alternate software for tomorrow's call, to enable everyone to participate. We will send out the final meeting link soon.

Here's the public agenda:

1. Q&A: Answering Questions from the community (Lothar and Franklin, max. 15 minutes)

    Rationale: Provide an opportunity for the community to ask questions to the new board and about TDF.

2. Information: Annual report, finances and budget (Florian, 10min)

    Rational: giving informations, bringing transparency to process/deadlines, planing follow ups

3. Information, Discussion: LPI agreement (South America) for certification (Daniel, 10min)

    Rational: information what was asked, status quo, discussion about follow on

4. Status quo about / Tracking of Board Actions Items/ToDos/Goals in Redmine (Lothar 5min)

    Rational: clarifying single point of search for todos and status, timeline, involved persons, clarifying needed confidentiality for which one

This is not what I expected. The last time we discussed this with BoD members, BBB was supposed to be the fallback.

In the last test, BBB was suffering from similar issues as Jitsi: browser using lots of CPU cycles, certain participant periodically losing connection, audio stuttering.

I was happy to read about the tests done on TDF infra indeed. So to me
it looks natural to take advantage of the work of our team.

And no doubt that I'm really grateful towards Paolo for reaching out
here too! If needed, more than happy to use that.

Cheers,
Cor

Hi all,

please let it be like communicated for today and see, how this platform performs.
If it is needed I in  the role of a moderator will send a mail on this channel with a "call to switch" to jitsi platform
as Florian mentioned.

Nevertheless my proposal is, to do the next public board meeting in 14 days in the jitis platform again,
and try with some "how to" on client side..

Because independent of the platform there seems to be "best practises" like switching off video,
using special kind of browser, ... Perhaps we could have a short report of the results of
the test and a "Do and Do not" on client side.

Hear you in approx 2 h, take care and stay healthy
