+ | |||
+ | ==== Documentation licensing ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | (// | ||
+ | |||
+ | For background, most recent thread [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | Galen reported that ESI’s documentation from now on will be Creative Commons share-alike license; this will coincide with the beta release of the software. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Galen brought up one question. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Galen brought up an operational concern. | ||
+ | Dan noted that the Equinox documentation is currently made available as a set of files outside of any version control system, and suggested that the provenance of the files would be much easier to track if they were maintained in a git repository. That way, DIG could pull the files into the existing DIG git repository and then generate the DIG documentation. The source of the files would be flagged as coming from Equinox, and any new or updated files from Equinox would be easy to identify. Likewise, it would be easy for Equinox to pull corrections or revisions from the DIG version of the documentation and maintain a detailed history of the contributions. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Bradley stated that he considered what DIG is doing now is fine for attribution purposes. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Bradley also stated that he considered that DIG is operating under the auspices of the SFC. Any license compliance issues should be raised with the SFC. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Board thanked ESI for their consideration of the matter and the decision made. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Motion: Conflict of Interest By-Laws ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Motion to adopt [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | Tony explained that the SFC is also thinking of drafting a conflict of interest policy and are interested in this policy. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **Action Item**: | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Proposed Participation Guidelines ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Proposed " | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Action Item: Lori would like the Board to respond to the revised participation guidelines on the mailing list. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Financial update ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | (//Dan Scott//) as of 2011-12-20, here is the financial statement of the Evergreen Project:< | ||
+ | $19, | ||
+ | $16, | ||
+ | | ||
+ | | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | Dan stated that these numbers reflect the current state of the Evergreen ledger in the SFC earmarked account, but admitted that he still finds it difficult to interpret the numbers and will ask for some guidance from the SFC. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Oversight Board Communications reminders ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | We're using the Evergreen Oversight Board mailing list (eg-oversight-board@list.evergreen-ils.org) for archived discussions | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Evergreen Governance mailing list (evergreen-governance-l@list.georgialibraries.org) should no longer be used for new discussions. On that note, maybe new emails to this old list could simply be forwarded to the Evergreen Oversight Board? | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Evergreen Conservancy alias (evergreen@sfconservancy.org) is used for distribution to members of the Oversight Board and the Conservancy, | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Conference 2012 updates ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Shauna reported that Jono Bacon will be the keynote speaker on Thursday of the conference. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Conference 2013 updates ==== | ||

+ | |||
+ | Dan apologized for failing to include this proposed amendment as an action item on today' | ||
