Call to Order
-------------
Due to the chairman's absence the secretary calls the meeting to 
order at 20:11 UTC.


Treasurer's report
------------------
There's no specific report, the treasurer has worked on the items
listed under "New Business".


Membership committee
--------------------
The secretary reports no new members, but ZeOmega as sponsor has 
renewed.


Repository committee
--------------------
The secretary has seen two new contributors join, Danilo Botelho 
and Anthony Gerrard.


Tabled business
---------------
The tabled business items remain tabled, they require input from 
the chairman and Rob Page.


New Business
------------
The nonprofit application status item is skipped, only the chairman
is involved enough to present any meaningful report. The treasurer 
notes that both the new bank and PayPal are asking for proof of 
nonprofit status.

The treasurer now has all the information needed for the Delaware
State Corporation Commission filings. The last obstacle is funds 
which will be available once the previous treasurer wires the old 
account funds into the new account.

The treasurer has opened a new bank account at Legacy/Texas bank.
He deposited $100 of his own funds to get the account started, now 
Gary Poster needs to wire all funds from the old account and close
it out so the treasurer has money to do his job. The treasurer 
will provide at least read-only access to the account for those 
board members who require it, and full access for the secretary 
who has several vendors drawing from his personal credit card
right now due to the bank issues in the past.

With this new account the treasurer has also started opening a 
PayPal account. He will share the details once all funds have 
arrived at the new bank.

The QuickBooks Online purchase is moving closer as well with the 
only remaining obstacle being the old funds moving to the new 
account.

Since the new bank account carries the treasurer's address he is 
volunteering to let the Zope Foundation use his home address as 
the official Zope Foundation postal mailing address. The 
secretary will gather the details from the treasurer and change 
the website and forms used by the ZF accordingly.

Since the last meeting the secretary has kicked off the VCS 
system discussion on the board list with his view as main 
admin for the existing ZF infrastructure. This list is waiting 
for more reactions from the board in order to come up with 
concrete proposals for the community.

The release manager issue is skipped since it requires input from 
the chairman.


Arranging the next meeting date
-------------------------------
The vice chair will set up a Doodle for the next meeting date.


Adjournment
-----------
The secretary adjourns the meeting at 20:30 UTC.

These minutes were written by the secretary, Jens Vagelpohl, 
according to the notes taken during the meeting.

These minutes were posted to the foundation-board at zope.org mailing
list and approved by all participating directors on June 2, 2012.

The chairman bid the secretary keep these minutes on file.
