		+	=== Action Summary ===
		+	# '''MOTION:''' Arnulf moved to adopt past meeting minutes, Jeff seconded, all were in favour
		+	# '''TODO:''' Arnulf to discuss the issue of local chapter objectives on the local chapters list and follow up with Vasile (re: Romanian LC application) http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/local-chapters
		+	# '''TODO:''' Tyler and Tim to look at Paypal button for OpenLayers donations toward project sponsorship

		+
		+	=== Detailed Minutes ===
		+	# Reviewed past minutes: [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Board_Meeting_2010-11-18 Board Meeting 2010-11-18]
		+	## Some discussion of copyright and who/how it is assigned in various projects. Arnulf hopes next incubation committee meeting could discuss some of these issues.
		+	## Lots of action items done this past month, as noted in agenda. Arnulf suggested to review some older items in the future to see what's left undone.
		+	## '''MOTION:''' Arnulf moved to adopt past meeting minutes, Jeff seconded, all were in favour
		+	# SAC report on backup strategy and security concept ( security updates etc. ) (Arnulf)
		+	## Arnulf had questions about OSGeo SAC backup strategy. General discussion about approaches. A couple wiki pages pointed to [[SAC:Backups]] and [[SAC Service Status]]
		+	## Some discussion of possibly paying someone to help with aspects of SAC that aren't easily done by volunteers.
		+	## SAC chair wants to resign, Webcom chair too but no one else stepped up yet to take over.
		+	# FOSS4G2011 update (Jeff, Tyler)
		+	## TylerM: Two things... logo chosen, sponsorship prospectus almost ready... waiting on Peter.
		+	## jmckenna: i aded the foss4g topic, just for a quick update. things are a little slow moving ( chair, peter, was/is in sydney australia )..but i expect it to get moving fast shortly
		+	## Some nervousness about progress, but logo, prospectus and website are on track to get released this week.
		+	## Winning logo: http://www.crowdspring.com/project/2290223_foss4g-denver-2011/voting/?key=b4953432380d8cab1dd439184d0f6fd0#
		+	# Approve Romanian Local Chapter request letter
		+	## More general local chapter questions/discussion came up. Re: Romanian chapter there were questions about the role that geo-spatial.org site plays into their goals - e.g. are they going to be an open source centric chapter, or also promote non-foss (as per that site)?
		+	## FrankW: I am somewhat unclear if the chapter is specifically an OSGeo chapter, or if it is really a geospatial interest group including open source and proprietary.
		+	## danmo: do we have a policy that a chapter should be exclusively about OSGeo? Not all current chapters may meet that requirement
		+	## Lots of discussion about roles and missions of local chapters and the broader benefits of OSGeo gaining exposure through various channels and vice versa.
		+	## Probably would not have been this discussion if they only pointed to the wiki and not the external site.
		+	## '''TODO:''' Arnulf to discuss the issue of local chapter objectives on the local chapters list and follow up with Vasile. http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/local-chapters
		+	# Possibility for OSGeo to hold money for one of its local chapters ( See Daniel's email to board list http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/board/2010-December/003714.html)
		+	## General agreement that it would be good if OSGeo could help chapters this way, with clear delineations as in the email.
		+	## Question of how it lines up with 501c3 rules for dispersements
		+	## Other concerns is logistical re: keeping banking manageable.
		+	## '''TODO:''' Tyler and Tim to look at Paypal button for OpenLayers donations toward project sponsorship
		+	## '''TODO:''' Daniel to tweak his ideas into a wiki page, and follow up with the other LCs to see how many might be interested in using this facility.
