Agenda

The agenda isn't fixed yet, please submit propositions in the Talk:Tenth planning meeting 2012 page

In conjunction with (after) today's planning meeting we will have a founding meeting for Föreningen FSCONS. We will therefore try to make the planning meeting a bit shorter so that the overall time will not extend to much after the official end time. Since we do not want this to be overly administrative we suggest that:

  1. the current aspect managers will be suggested as officials up for election.
  2. The membership fee is set to 50 SEK.
  3. Nominations for the board (we need 3 plus 1 (at least)): Leif-Jöran Olsson, Gustav Eek, Grégoire Détrez.
  4. Nomination for accountant (revisor):
  5. The by-laws are set as (authorative text in Swedish):

Founding meeting of the new organisation

A new organisation is being created to take care of the conference. The second part of this working meeting has been used for the founding meeting of this new entity.

We need to find a solution for the sustainability of the conference. In this goal, a new foundation has been created to which the ffkp will transfer the responsibility of organizing the conference.

During meetings with the ffkp borad, details have been discussed. An inventory of everything bought with “FSCONS money” has been created to transfer ownership of this equipment to the new organization. It has been noted that the previous conferences have lost about 30000 SEK but to start fresh it has been agreed that the new organization will buy the mentioned equipment from ffkp for a defined price (about 10k SEK) and won't carry this debt.

The ffkp also offered to store the equipment as long as necessary and to host the website until the end of 2012. The previous organisers also pointed out that they will be there if there is any question concerning the organization of the conference.

The Nordic Free Software Award is not included in this transition and remains the responsibility of Henrik to organize.

TODO: Template:Trim


It should be noted that the board members of the new organization will be financially responsible for the conference, although we try to make the risks as small as possible.

Leif-Jöran presents the bylaws draft for this organisation based of those of Fripost. After discussion, a few amendments have to be made, the new version should be presented sound and sign by all present participants.
