2011-03-24 Meeting Minutes
Old Business
- ask knome to do some drafts with a grey background and a black background - Done
this is the blue one: http://temp.knome.fi/xubuntu/website1104b.png
- Ageed to keep the blue background for the website
- knome is to set up a tele-conference of some type to discuss marketing - carried forward/after natty releases
Team updates
Packaging & Development
- Included the new default wallpaper (still missing the full-sized second one though)
- Fixed another bug in garcon, related to monitoring (Xfce #7423).
- Included a patch from upstream git to fix a workspace size issue in xfce4-display-settings.
- Restored the default blue for the alternative installer, instead of the aubergine that actually looks pink in all terms I tested (only gnome-terminal is fine).
- Imported gmb 1.1.7 + shimmer patches.
- micahg has uploaded xfce4-mixer 4.8.0 (but I didn't have time to check)
Bug Triage & Testing
- We have the beta1 release next week. Any testing is really appreciated.
Website & Marketing
- Still waiting on canonical to set up wordpress.
- Suggestion from ochosi - it would be great if the first page would show the slideshow that is shown during installation.

I want to thank every artist for their work and I apologize for the license issues not being verified before the end of the contest period.

Carried Forward
Please see the previous log
Xubuntu Governance
The governancy part of the current Strategy Document can be found at Xubuntu/StrategyDocument#Xubuntu Governance & Team Structure
- The Xubuntu project will advance towards a Council-based governance approach.
The Xubuntu Council
- The Council size should be 5 members, with one of them being the PL.
- PL will have a vote in every voting in the Council, not just as a tie-breaker.
- The 4 members in the Council in addition to the PL should be selected by the existing Xubuntu Contributors.
- The appropriate Team Lead can be the tiebreaker in a vote, but only if PL is absent.
- The council should *aim* to have balanced membership across the different aspects/teams of Xubuntu.
- The council should be named/selected after every LTS release. Thus, every season lasts for 2 years.
