A more formal announcement will be coming soon. +Once Silver elections are complete, the next board meeting will be scheduled and an ongoing cadence will be established. +DC: Mondays have been working well. +SN: What about the group using _this_ time slot on the alternating weeks? +No objections to this, however: +7/20 many on way to OSCON +8/3 too far out +Tentative to use 7/27 at this time + +## Open Discussion +TM: What immediate tasks do we need to take up? +DC: Going over committees and figure out which go into Board? +??: Plan or committee for getting an event going? +DC: Start another event or just work within existing event structure? +??: Suggestion for a more business focused event. +TM: This can be a question to Marketing committee +??: There should be a Foundation-backed event that should be the hub. +DC: My experience is there are no events that are organized by a community… normally there are a few people taking the lead. Last year, Node gave blessing to the big event in San Francisco, rather than try to create their own. +SN: Variety of services LF can provide w/ respect to hosting and putting on a conference… complete turnkey services +DC: In nearterm if we were to do 2015 or early 2016 -- pick a conference (i.e. Node Summit), and Foundation can graft business track on. +MR: Node Summit may or may not make sense for a variety of reasons. Need to talk with Charles to see where things stand for the next Summit. +DC: Doesn’t have to be Node Summit, can be a different event. +DS: Charles (Node Summit organizer) is interested in running Node Summit 2016. +??: Get ideas from Marketing team and then bring it to LF events team for recommendations. +SN: What time window is being considered? +DC: First half 2016. +DC: As Board members become better known, they will get asked to appear at regional events. Worth getting together a golden pitch about what the Foundation is. +??: Build infrastructure needs to get transitioned. +MR: Isn’t it all donated hardware? +??: True for Node.js as well? +MR: Intention was to put Node.js on io.js infra. +BB: Alexis is working on this. +TM: As it relates to standards bodies, Foundations often set up a liaison (acting on behalf of Foundation, not individual or company). MR to think about a person that could be a good fit.
