[Evergreen-governance-l] Meeting today?

[Dan Scott]

Oh and a further heads-up on the application to the Software Freedom
Conservancy; their next Evaluation Committee Meeting to discuss
membership applications is in September, so I've been advised that if
we want to join we should try to have our complete application
submitted by September 1, 2010.

The next Evaluation Committee Meeting after that is scheduled for
February 2011, so if we miss September then that's our next deadline.

I'd personally like to get things in the hopper for September, but it
will require some work between now and then to flesh out the answers
to the questions on the application.
