Proceedings
===========
* Meeting started at 19:16 UTC by Aleksey Bragin.

* Point 0: CD/Product Store
* Point 1: Update/Team Plan
* Point 2: Website Update
* Point 3: Internet Declaration

Due to scheduling constraints by some participants, the question of a
team store and sale of ReactOS CDs was moved to be the first topic.

* Point 0
Ziliang Guo presented the question of CD sales and merchendise sales
in general. Amine Khaldi updated the team on the work he and others
have done to get storefronts up and going. The primary concern was a
lack of decent designs for the stores. Ziliang was tasked with
contacting graphic artists he knows in the community to see if this
can be remedied. The decision of what to do with the promo CDs was
left to Ziliang as well.

* Point 1
Aleksey Bragin stated that he intended to help with Jira integration
with the new site, which is necessary as a replacement for bugzilla.
He also hopes to help with making the build environment more user
friendly.

Olaf Siejka reported on a variety of regressions in freeldr and the
win32 subsystem that he wants fixed as they are blocking further
development and testing. Other developers asked for specific reports
to be assigned to them and reviewed whether they thought they knew the
cause of regressions.

Collaboration with the UniATA developer was also discussed, with
reports that upstream patches have been accepted and suggestions on
further work that can be done.

* Point 2
Danny Gotte was not present so this point was skipped.

* Point 3
Pierre Schweitzer presented the Internet Declaration
(http://www.internetdeclaration.org/freedom), a statement of beliefs
drafted by various groups that wish the internet to remain free of
censorship and ensure user privacy. Many other organizations have
signed onto it and Pierre asked whether the ReactOS Foundation should
also do so. This was put to a vote and passed with overwhelming
support.

* Other Decisions
Ziliang requested that all developers be added onto the public
relations mailing list. This was approved.
