- Budget - we will all review the budget document and discuss at the next meeting. Paul and Carol need to work on finalizing

plone.org
not much advancing - but Jens fixed authentication issues so we can use GitHub. He has requested a premium sponsorship in exchange for making the GitHub authentication a final product
== executive session ==
We decided that the new plone.org and plone.com will have About pages thanking the people and companies that had worked on those projects.
Sorrento will likely be the wrap-up for the final plone.org launch
