Two board meetings were held this month. Some highlights from the meetings follow. Please see http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Meetings/June_7%2C_2005 and http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Meetings/June_9%2C_2005 for the full details.
The first meeting was, unusually, attended by the entire board. The second was even more unusual in that it consisted of the entire board with the exception of Jimbo.
We have approved two changes to the bylaws: 1) elected terms shall be two years rather than one, and 2) there will be no difference between contributing and volunteer member representatives.
Other proposed changes were informally agreed upon, but will not be officially approved prior to a legal review.
Work on the contacts for Mandriva's planned distribution of Wikipedia is ongoing. The Portuguese Wikipedia might now be included, in addition to English and French.
Jimmy is meeting Eben Moglen on 15 June to talk about proposed changes to the GFDL.
In terms of hardware, Kate has helped to determine what we need from Yahoo. This is expected to be set up next month. Details from the system administration team on what we would like from other potential sponsors would be appreciated.
We have approximately US$50,000 in the PayPal account. The fundraising drive will postponed until after the elections. Feedback from the sysadmins on what we are going to buy and when is required before the fundraising drive.
