We have a new release manager for Joomla 6.2 - Vivana Menzel - together with Martin Kopp. Thanks for stepping in!
Release Managers for Joomla 7.0 will be Stefan Wendhausen and Harald Leithner - Thanks for stepping up!
Many security issues for 3rd party extensions reach the JSST. We need to urgently re-create a working VEL (vulnerable extension list) team!
Sprints at JWC planned for Maintainers, Documentation and Enhancement teams. Many people contact us for financial support, we are trying to support where possible.

Discuss the update of the OSM website
Remind of responsibilities we have as board members regarding data and following our procedures
Add SPD entry as part of our Sponsor or partner duties
Feeling some pressure from specific developers on the way things should be handled in JED4 stalled.
Submitted ticket to Mattermost about the “missing messages” issue.

Attempted to restart the Capital Team around 3 pillars. Only 1 person, our President, came (thank you very much ?), next meeting set for Monday 27th, 4pm CEST.

Discuss finding something better than Adoodle.com for elections.
Caching on the community portal causes long delays after publishing an article.
Secretary expressed concern over whether the custom “Joomlers” extension on the Volunteer portal is in the process of being migrated to J!6, and if any improvements on its ability to filter will be included. Also of interest was the status of the Volunteer portal migration and when it might go live.

Status of the OSM Website: This was discussed primarily between President and Operations, both of whom had a first draft of a new OSM site. They agreed to work it out outside the meeting
Sponsorpage Outdated entries: I wrote to all Sponsors that are not paying that we will remove their logos if they don’t respond until August 7th, Will send a reminder at the first. Who is / was originally in charge of keeping an eye on the contracts, is there anyone in charge ? Just to know for future task management maybe?
Updating Design Sponsorpage: I am discussing the Sponsor Page and Supporter Club with the Structure and Marketing Team. Cyril approached me directly and added me to the channels.
Concern was expressed about the Board not acting on some of the things discussed in the meetings, leading to a less effective Board than we should be. Maintaining an Action Items list was something that seemed worth doing.

#2026/040 - Adjourn the meeting
Bruce Scherzinger, seconded by Elisa Foltyn
