juicemeas I recall we don't have any requirements for number of members to be present12:07
macros_We do: §9 (5)  Every General Assembly called in accordance with these articles of incorporation is accepted as able to make decisions if at least one third of the active members are present. [..]12:09
juicemesicelo, was the 1/3 mentioned in rules or is it a general requirement?12:09
sicelothere actually is  ... but then, a certain number of listed GA members listed are people we haven't heard from in ages12:09

juicemeeLtMosen, Timo Könnecke13:16
juicemejoerg, Jörg Reisenweber13:16
juicemeThanks for attending the meeting.13:16
juicemeAs treasurer of MCeV, I would like to present the accounts for the fiscal year 2022, and as a bonus also the accounts of the current year 202313:17
juicemeplease see the pdf file http://www.swagman.org/juice/Maemo_eV_FundsReport_2022_&_2023_signed.pdf13:18
juicemethe account statements have been verified and checked by reinob13:19
juicemefew key notes on the accounts; during the fiscal years 2022&2023 we did not have any income in the form of donations.13:20
sicelothank you. looks like we'll be bankrupt in next 4 years13:20
eLtMosenRead the report. Acknowledged and approved13:21
juicemeOnly expenses we had were the monthly bank fees and once per year the server rent13:21
juicemeand as you can see, the bank fees are disproportional to everything else.13:21
joergcolo rent13:21
reinobI confirm having audited the accounts and all were OK13:22
juicememoreover, this month I received a letter from the bank that informed us that our bank account will be closed down :(13:22
juicemeso the board is now looking at banking alternatives, and also possibly something that does cost us less in monthly fees13:23
siceloclosed for inactivity?13:23
macros_No reason was given13:24
juicemethey quoted something regarding paragraf 19(2) which states problems in respectability?13:25
juicemeor something on the likes. The letter was in german but members of the board who are more fluent can elaborate13:25
joergDeutscheBank, sucks13:27
macros_The letter just states (translated) "According to paragraph 19 (1) of our general business terms we can terminate yoiur account at any time, which we now do"13:27
juicemein customer relations the banks are sure polite13:28
juicemedoes anybody have any other questions or comments on the fiscal reports?13:29
juicemewe still have 1835 euros on our accounts which lasts for a long time to pay the server rent, even if some goes to bank fees.13:30
joergan idea that just came to my mind (prolly still dreaming): Transfer the complete amount to either Falk (warfare) or IPHH (the colo company).13:36
joergwould make much sense in case we need some spare parts for the servers (drives?), and IF we need to pay any other invoice, at least Falk will be willing to do that, I'm sure13:37
juicemepaying in advance, yes that could be one option13:37
* joerg cranks up audo volume - please /query(!) me for any attention needed. A local highlight may or may not be heard, first /query will be heard usually13:40
* joerg heads out to next room for coffee13:40
macros_We may be able to get an account at skatbank, where we would have to pay zero banking fees. But as the letter from DeutscheBank arrived recently, we are still looking at options.13:40
halftuxbut we should have an own bank account for donations13:41
halftuxyes we are looking for different options13:41
joergooh, one thing: please, I want to hand over domain "scratchbox.org" to $maemo13:42
juicemenice!13:42
halftuxit is hosted also by colo?13:43
joergdo NOT publish the bank account details, ever! I ended with Deutsche Bank withdrawing random amounts from my business account and transfering them to $netflix et al, dozen times per week, for scammers who simply provided bank account details to some online "purchase". EACH SINGLE FRAUDULENT TRANSFER had to get rolled back "manually" by me, and DB charged me a ~1€ fee for each rollback. Be warned, german banks system is totally broken13:47
juicemevery good notice and warning.13:48
joerghalftux: we got one VM scratchbox.maemo.org, yes. It's part of the build system - used in some build scropts or somesuch. At least several locations in wiki point to http://scratchbox.org13:49
joerghost -a scratchbox.org #>>scratchbox.org.         3558    IN      A       213.128.137.2413:51
joerghost -a 213.128.137.24 #>> 24.137.128.213.in-addr.arpa. 28800 IN   PTR     scratchbox.maemo.org.13:52
joergI rant about this for several years now, but eventually I _will_ tell ODN (where the domain is hosted) that I don't manage it anymore and won't pay the 12€/year for it13:54
halftuxokay can you hand over all details so we can manage it in the future?13:55
joergit's not like the domain was ultra-important for $maemo, just do we want it to eventually point to sextoys-content?13:56
joerghalftux: yes, I can hand over the domain ownership, but I have to tell ODN where to transfer it to. I think this is called a "KK order"13:57
joergall other maemo domains are at falk's "fourecks.de"(?)13:58
siceloi think it's appropriate for Maemo to handle those expenses, yes.13:59
halftuxare the maemo domains registered with the eV or is a private person behind this?14:00
joergFalk (warfare)14:03
joergso all other domains are "at maemo admin", it's ok14:05
joergI wouldn't be surprised if he's at CCC Hamburg14:08
halftuxfine so I can take over scratchbox.org if it is needed I don't know how to do it as an eV14:08

joergall are at ns.zeropage.net. falk.fourecks.de14:10
macros_I guess we would have the register a new account at a hoster ( the e.V. is a legal entity after all) an then move the domain there.14:10
joergforget it, this is not going anywhere in the end. scratchbox should just go to ns.zeropage.net too14:12
halftuxfine with me it is also easier for payment when falk is doing all domain business14:13
halftuxjuiceme are we done with the fiscal report or do we need a voting about the acceptance?14:15
joergI accept the reports14:29
halftuxI accept the reports too14:30
siceloi accept them too14:30
halftuxreinob already did14:30
halftuxso noboday speaks against it it looks like we have some abstentions14:31
macros_I accept them too.14:32
eLtMosenAs stated above, for completion, i accept the financial report.14:33
halftuxso thank you very much juiceme you did a good job as treasurer14:34
halftuxso the last topic would be any other business14:37
halftuxanybody has something in ḿind?14:38
juicemesorry, I was afk for a while14:38
halftuxno problem welcome back14:38
juicemewe had no other business announced to the board beforehands14:38
juicemeand board election is not needed unless somebody insists on a change14:39
juicemeso unless other concerns/info is raised, we can conclude the official part of the meeting14:39
juicemeon behalf of the board and council, I thank you all for attending!14:40
juicemeand have a Happy New Year!14:40
halftuxI would suggest maybe to write an email to the members and see if all still in or if we can exclude some members who will not participate anymore in the future14:40
sicelosomeday (not today) we may have to consider an amendment regarding membership ... handling absent members, i.e. those who really disappear (for various reasons)14:41
juicemetrue too14:41
siceloah, same line of thinking as halftux.14:41
halftuxso yes have a Happy New Year all!14:41
macros_I support that. We already have the differentiation between active and passive members in the bylaws, so just an mail to question everybody I he wants to be an active member oder passive member should suffice (with no answer= passive member)14:42
macros_Thank you very much for conducting the meeting juiceme. And Happy New year to everyone too!14:43
joergHNY o/14:45
