Dec 21 14:09:49 <NeddySeagoon>	SwifT, I bet they don't get many attendees at a  physical meeting 
Dec 21 14:10:06 <NeddySeagoon>	Bugs ...
Dec 21 14:10:30 <Betelgeuse>	NeddySeagoon: At least Finnish law requires the meeting to be physical
Dec 21 14:10:40 <Betelgeuse>	NeddySeagoon: However only one person needs to be on site
Dec 21 14:10:46 <Betelgeuse>	NeddySeagoon: Others can join remote
Dec 21 14:10:54 <Betelgeuse>	So really a technicality
Dec 21 14:11:04 <SwifT>	lol
Dec 21 14:11:06 <SwifT>	;)
Dec 21 14:11:14 <NeddySeagoon>	Betelgeuse, New Mexico only requires that all participents can hear one another.
Dec 21 14:11:45 <Betelgeuse>	However the org neds to have explicitly approved joining remote
Dec 21 14:11:47 <NeddySeagoon>	and that the meeting be open
Dec 21 14:12:00 <Betelgeuse>	Usually by the board or in the rules of the org
Dec 21 14:12:21 <NeddySeagoon>	Bug 476718 
Dec 21 14:12:23 <willikins>	NeddySeagoon: https://bugs.gentoo.org/476718 "Request for bitcoin donation support"; Gentoo Foundation, Proposals; CONF; rich0:trustees
Dec 21 14:13:31 *	rich0_ is now known as rich0
Dec 21 14:13:51 <Betelgeuse>	Coinbase seems ok to me. I would like an ACK from our accountant first though.
Dec 21 14:14:41 <NeddySeagoon>	We discussed bitcoin and stocks and shares donations a year or so ago and decided that they should be discouraged.  But if anyone insisted, we would cash them soonest as holding other forms of investment is not our coure business
Dec 21 14:15:08 <NeddySeagoon>	core*
Dec 21 14:15:34 <Betelgeuse>	Is there any benefit for direct stocks and shares donations instead of the donor converting them to cash first?
Dec 21 14:15:50 <NeddySeagoon>	Betelgeuse, not to us, no.
Dec 21 14:16:17 <NeddySeagoon>	Bitcoin values vary considerably ...
Dec 21 14:16:24 <Betelgeuse>	NeddySeagoon: I was mainly asking from donor perspective
Dec 21 14:17:42 <NeddySeagoon>	Betelgeuse, I don't know the tax laws well enough to comment.  We need a USA member 
Dec 21 14:18:13 <SwifT>	not only tax laws, but we also need a more worked out suggestion than just "please accept bitcoin"
Dec 21 14:18:23 <NeddySeagoon>	ping Guest21526 
Dec 21 14:19:10 <NeddySeagoon>	SwifT, exactly.  Thats why we opted to discourage it when it was last discussed
Dec 21 14:19:54 <NeddySeagoon>	Lets wove on ... we cannot resolve it today
Dec 21 14:20:00 <NeddySeagoon>	move*
Dec 21 14:20:50 <Betelgeuse>	agreed

Dec 21 14:21:56 <NeddySeagoon>	That seems to be going OK - no immediate action required from us, unless you know differently
Dec 21 14:22:44 <NeddySeagoon>	Cleanup ...
Dec 21 14:22:54 <Betelgeuse>	The upgrades were already paid for

Dec 21 14:26:49 <Betelgeuse>	dabbott: Did we have any membership business? I remember emails but maybe it was already for the last one.
Dec 21 14:27:20 <dabbott>	afair it was for the last meeting
