Board membership

Ola would like to resign, citing personal reasons. The Board can nominate a replacement. Catherine is nominated, since she is already acting as Treasurer. Frank abstained from this decision and left the meeting temporarily as it was being discussed, due to being Catherine’s employer. Catherine said she’s willing to serve as Board member and Treasurer. The remaining members present voted unanimously to appoint Catherine to serve out Ola’s term, with an action item to develop a succession plan which allows the Treasurer position to be sustainable in the long term. The Board will also have to look into the situation with respect to compensation of officers in the Bylaws in order to work out a plan which allows Catherine to be appointed Treasurer.

DjangoCon AU

Katie informs us tickets are on sale and seem to be doing well.

DjangoCon US

Should we have an in-person meeting there? Possibly meet with DEFNA? It seems unlikely that all the DSF Board members will be present at DjangoCon US, but we will explore the possibility of some kind of meet-up.
