Guest: fake51 took part in the discussion about point 2. on the agenda and gave report of Dev team status.

Agenda:

• Last vol cafe and BoD forum thread - conclusions
• Vol cafe - not very well attended but productive. Newsletter every second month, Maria responsible for it.
• No useful contribution from the BoD forum thread so far.
• Domain providers contacted us about using BW ROX to create portals for Dominican Republic tourist trade
• fake51 answered their technical question
• kiwiflave contacted them to suggest we can provide further support and ask for donation to our project.
• Dev team report
• Low activity - people on holidays and/or busy recently
• There are signals to suggest more activity soon
• Major update was moved to live on the 28.10
• Further work on 'groups' feature is the team's priority
• BoD can support the team by working to increase general member activity and improve communication between teams
• Follow-up on the Returning loan to HospitalityClub friends topic - we had to skip this point due to jilrev not being present.
• Improving volunteer structure and communication between and within teams
• Teams should have coordinators whose role can be defined by the team itself but this is the point person in terms of work coordination and contact
• Before each bod, each coordinator should post a few points about what their team is doing/planning to do/would like to do/problems in the forum thread "input for bod"
• Coordinators will be contacted by demorganna, prompted to report on the forum and take stock of their teams.
• Tgoorden will organize un-conference meeting to get creative juices flowing. Probably on 23-24 January in Antwerp.
