Discussion outline

Treasurer

  • eLTS revenue share income for March totalized USD 1498,24.

  • Nadja forwarded an email about the sunsetting of Google Universal Analytics to Luca and Louise. 

Production Department

  • Successful 4.4.4 RC1 and 5.1.0 RC1 releases - everybody needs now to test their extensions and copies of live installations! 5.1.0 will be released on Apr 16, 2024.

  • Allon Moritz is new team lead for Automated Testing Team. Hannes Papenberg was confirmed as team lead for Bug Squad.

  • GAAD Pledge - “Global Accessibility Awareness Day” - Benjamin, Christiane and Sigrid had a chat with Joe from GAAD foundation. The pledge means a year of working on our intention to improve accessibility not just for our product but also for the organization and our properties (i.e. websites). 

Outreach Department

  • No major updates.

Operations Department

  • Meetings with Mark about JED and trying to see a demo of JED4 status.

  • Handling individual meetings and chats with Team leaders.

  • Working on the Right to be forgotten process.

Vice President

  • Details of the Joomla 5.1 release events shared

Secretary

  • Luca had some days of stop. Still catching up with some tasks. Website and reports will be up to date in a couple of days.

  • [Governance] Thinking about appointing an Assistant to the Secretary to start preparing the succession and ensuring recurring tasks are fulfilled in a timely manner.

  • [Onboarding] Luca will complete Carlos onboarding during the weekend. 

  • [Processes] The meeting minutes approval process is unnecessarily long and makes minutes available only after one week from the meeting - plus the time of publishing them, which in several cases is delayed. A motion has been proposed to change the approval process, making minutes immediately executable and published right after the meeting. 

President

  • JoomlaDay USA - Crystal forwarded a request for Board Members to virtually attend the lunches during the event. Phil will attend one day.

  • [Open Website Alliance] Drupal will cover the presidency for the first 6 months. Joomla will follow. Crystal invited other Board members to participate in OWA meetings that happen on a monthly basis.

Carlos Camara left the meeting at 18.00 UTC.
