Preliminaries

At 20:00 UTC Brian took chair and opened the meeting.

Karl-Heinz volunteered to do minutes and as there was a timeframe, Karl-Heinz watched the time also.

Links for minutes and agenda were posted.

The minutes from the last meeting were accepted with motion m20180315.1, 3 aye, 2 abstain.

As there were no new point to be forwarded from cacert-board-private or cacert-board maillist, action items were discussed. As this were TOPs from the agenda, this will be handeled there.

Business

Amos our new PO from NSW confirmed there were no issues with his boss, for beeing our PO. Etienne is waiting for the confirmation from OFT, the form A9 has arrived at the office. It was sent by e-mail as PDF. Etienne payed the fee and has to be refunded.

Karl-Heinz reported, handover for treasurer is mostly done.

About bug 1260 "upgrading PHP/debian", was said, that one part ofthe test-system is running and accessable but the second part is not. Dirk said he would ask someone else who might know the password for access.

About bug 1417 "unable to create certificate", Peter Y. told he had made little progress on that project.

Then bug 1432 "testing CAA-records" was preferred and Karl-Heinz told he was doing research and found out that on the one side only very few site do have a CAA-record at all and RFC6844 states "... Since a certificate is typically valid for at least a year, it is possible that a certificate that is not conformant with the CAA records currently published was conformant with the CAA records published at the time that the certificate was issued. ... " (RFC6844,page 3) so he thinks we have some time but is working on that subject. As CAcert is member of CA/Forum we have to inform us who is/was our representative there.

About the collecting of money:

Brian sent a mail to the TriLUG-mailinglist and got an answer, both will be appended in ideas.

Etienne offfered a 50 franc voucher from outfittery.ch for ideas (14).

Alex (PR-O) joined the discussion and asked for some explanations on the ideas.

Peter M. mentioned the way how linux mint hightlights its donors and sponsors https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=3509

• it was preferred to use our existing resources instead of creating a new external campaign
• Create a special page of Donors (problem to keep it up to date because of edit-rights on the server)
• pin the first blog-entry (which has to be the donators) onto the main page
• neeed to repair the blog-twitter-function

It was agreed on, to do exchanges of thoughts over board-private-list
