Chairman Introduction

Mr. Clark thanked Jeff Moyer for his service on the Board and his contribution to the OpenStack community. He then welcomed Mr. Krawczynski to the Board.

Approval of Waiver of Director Diversity Requirement

Mr. Bryce explained that Ms. Marrich recently became employed at Red Hat, Inc. and Red Hat, Inc. already has two employees on the Board. Section 4.17 of the Bylaws limits the number of employees of a single company to two and if Ms. Marich remains on the Board, this requirement will be violated.

A Board discussion followed. Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the following resolution was unanimously approved by the Board (with the exception of the members representing Red Hat, Inc. who were attending the Board meeting and Ms. Marrich who abstained):
RESOLVED, that the Board waived the Director Diversity requirement in Section 4.17 of the Bylaws for Ms. Marrich to complete her current term on the Board.

Mr. Bryce provided an overview of the staff and strategy for the future activities of the Foundation. Mr. Collier discussed the results of the survey about the future activities of the Foundation.

There being no further business before the Board and upon motion duly made and seconded, the meeting was then adjourned at 9:00 am PST.


Respectfully submitted,



Mark Radcliffe
