   MINUTES:
Meetings:
   Schedule: weekly, at #trisquel-dev (with minute-taking bot), 17:00UTC
   Purpose:revamping the project
Development:
   We'll be installing a gitorious instance or similar system, so hackers will be able to join, clone and commit without permission, and then make merge requests
   Short sighted goal: Making the release happen:
   First of all: Find out the required tasks and the corresponding skills necessary to accomplish theses tasks.
   Get volunteer involved.
   Blocker: closing the freedom issues at https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/software-does-not-respect-free-system-distribution-guidelines
   Reduce Quidam's load, for instance on the website manteinance
   Let's try to make the website and the distro simpler
   Website:
   For the website, we can disable or remove unused sections
   Separate Upstream(Ubuntu -1, which is still maintained) issues from Trisquel specific issues...
   Point of improvement: a simpler, more friendly download page
   We could separate the system issues from the main website
   Use the ticket system in a system like gitlabhq
   Distro:
   For the distro, we could lower the priority of secondary editions, or drop(also known as "looking for volounteer") them altogether
Funds:
   We're still not able to hire developers
   The only spending so far has been for the USB keys sent to associate members
   We've got around 11.000€
   One of the ideas for spending money is travelling expenses to attend relevant events
   Of course, online actions are cheaper:
   We can try some fundraising platform which runs on fully-free software
   Starting some independent campaign could also work
   Quidam can ask the FSF to run a campaign with us, maybe after LibrePlanet or trough IRC( like by contacting FSF's executive trough IRC).
   Finding partners is obviously useful, but we have to be as cautious as ever
   We could find use to a PR manager, it's an aspect that we've been weak at in the past
ACTIONS!:
   Come up with a development (code+tickets) environment
   Complete the release!
   remember blockers: We'll clean problematic packages present in the live-cd and probably temporarily remove those which are not
   Clean-up the brainstorming of this meeting, separate it into manageable topics and discuss it at the devel list
