Currently there are about 150 people supporting PP-LU. 3.2. Foundation of PP Slovakia (Angelo_Verona) Note: There was some discussion on the coreteam ML because of a mail that was sent out to different national boards which stemmed some confusion. Angelo_Verona explained to the coreteam that PP Slovakia will be founded on that date and that all pirates are invited; obviously also some Swedish pirates already told that they will be present there. This will /not/ be a official PPI meeting. 3.3. Pertain has to leave the coreteam for personal reasons He proposes Will Tovey aka Duke from PP-UK as candidate for his succession Those who know him agree that he would be a good addition to the coreteam pertain's work is thanked 4. REPORTS 4.1. Report by cwicket The Telecom package is beeing discussed at the EU parliament. Amendment N°138 is quite important. We should motivate all PPs to express themselves on this specific vote to show our concern. Laurent is working on a document for that. 5. REQUESTS AND ASSIGNMENTS 5.1. Discussion about the PPI front page (initiated by Valio) What do we wanna publish on it? who should have access? Conclusions: We should have a place for dumping news, so that people can pick it up, and write a PPI story about it. Somehow we might setup a project and appoint a manager to that or it will a be mix between cwicket, ninHer and pingu. Because of current time constraints and work on a local level, pingu is unable to provide time for that, almost till the end of the year. He also is not aware to appoint someone as a replacement. In the discussion it becomes clear, that ad interim we have to find a replacement. coretx makes an official proposal. 5.2. Current status of the website and the techteam (initiated by Aim) The issue about the DNS has to be finally solved. Also valio should draft the organisation structure doc ASAP, as the techteam is waiting for it Aim set up a wiki with a shielded section (dokuwiki) 6. DECISIONS 6.1.
