*Absent: *

*Summary of topics (ordered by discussion):*

- eV: bank account
- maemo trademarks

*Topic (Election system): *

- MentalistTraceur hasn't looked into the PHP code for elections
<https://toosa.swagman.org/svn/maemo_elections>, yet.
- juiceme is looking into change in authentication required for personal
voting links to work.
- juiceme: sending mail to just GA is possible with a bit of tweaking.
For now, it could be a specific user table containing just the current GA
members, to be used as input for the voting engine.
In the future, a flag in the midgard_users table, to indicate whether
the user is GA member or not, would be preferable...
Chemist will ask merlin1991 (garage admin) about the group options in
garage for the MCeV.
- The modifications can be seen at:
svn diff https://toosa.swagman.org/svn/maemo_elections@r3
https://toosa.swagman.org/svn/maemo_elections@r4
Now keep in mind that juiceme *has* *not* *tested* *this* at all, he
just wrote it like it *should* work
- According to BGB (German <http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/bgb/>,
English <http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/englisch_bgb/index.html>),
the only minimum is 1 EU-director.
According to Bylaws <http://wiki.maemo.org/MaemoCommunity_eV#Bylaws>,
there should be at least 3 EU-directors (at least 21 years of age, EU
residents or citizens).

*Topic (eV: bank account): *

- Chemist needs a slot in his schedule free where the bank has actual
working hours... the accountant was busy with being off work for all
occasions chemist could free up so far - after that we have a bank account
for MCeV (Thursday or next week).
- About donations: MCeV will accept bitcoin as soon as we get it sorted!
;-)
- We need to pester the US members of Hildon Foundation to do the tax
declaration, Win7Mac has had several attempts with no response...
- Complete history <http://hildonfoundation.org/supporters/> of
transactions (donations and expenses) from past to present would be nice...

*Topic (maemo trademarks): *

- Maemo Council will publish the announcement about Maemo trademarks
registration-renewal on TMO, after chemist is back with a bank account
number.
The announcement will likely be published in the same way as meeting
minutes are: at maemo.org <http://maemo.org/community/council/>, at
talk.maemo.org <http://talk.maemo.org/forumdisplay.php?f=16>, and at
maemo-community
