Comment: we should deal with the paypal account contact info now that we have plenty of funds in the bank and won't risk insolvency if they lock us out

   * We tried maybe five years ago, but it was derailed by bikeshedding over the [[LogoDiscussion#Letterhead_.28Proposed.29|Letter Head]]. ClintonEbadi proposes we just use what has been suggested for this instead of dealing with formally adopting one before getting AdamChlipala removed as the contact, as he has not been a board member in many years and it's not great to leave former board members on important accounts.

2. Proposed Agenda

  • Elect officers so we can file with Pennsylvania by April 30
  • General update on finances
  • GANDI domain renewal email from April 13 - anything we need to do?
    • ClintonEbadi just needs to renew everything this weekend, no big deal (usually do it just before elections though)

  • Status of volunteer coordinator request
  • Status & planning for new HCOOP Meetbot (not yet in use)

  • Quick discussion about the Debian mlton package - how we use it, the impact to us given that it's not officially in Debian any more

    • ClintonEbadi says: to summarize, I just build it from source using the sid packaging although there has finally been a new release so that's a bit out of date. It is kind of complicated to bootstrap though: have to use an existing binary package injected into the pbuilder to build mlton, then after that inject the new package to the pbuilder to build again to ensure a clean build. AFAICT the dropping from stable is because there's a circular build dependency that requires manual intervention to break. This isn't too bad, because until Debian 8 IIRC it wasn't even in Debian at all and we just built to /usr/local.
