1. Welcome Bernhard as the newest Board Member
   • Mark What are some problems you want to solve?
   • Bernhard I'd live to solve the SMW development issue
   • Bernhard First the compatibility with MW 1.35
     • Bernhard SMW is already compatible, however other extensions aren't. For example Semantic Glossary.
   • Bernhard We need a process for testing (extensions) and a list of "watched/tracked" extensions
   • Bryan What about recording problems/tracking bugs? Is that just done on extension talk pages?
   • Bernhard Yeah, that's a problem
   • Cindy Yes, I share your concern, especially with upcoming changes to core
   • Cindy Jeroen does not have the time to take on full scale support of SMW, but there is definitely a need
   • EricWe have a forked version of Semantic Glossary on 1.35 and we can share
   • Bernhard That's actually part of the problem, there are lots of people/companies with fixes, but not submitting PR to fix the codebase
2. Code of Conduct
   • Evita I put the Code of conduct in MWStake
   • Evita We need to discuss how this is handled. The reporting person's identity should be anonymous
   • Bryan Should it be both secret (only a few people on a code of conduct committee or something should see it) and anonymous (not everyone or anyone? knows who the reporting person is)?
     • Mark I think there would be a group that knows the person reporting but beyond that they remain anonymous
   • Bryan Sounds like we need to create a group. Should it be only Board Members, only Individual Members, or at least 1 Board Member?
     • Markus Not all Board, there could be an issue with the Board
     • Mark Probably a few people. Not 10, more like 3
3. MWStake.org & WikiApiary.com hosting
   • Mark Who can help?
   • Cindy & Bryan can help
   • Bryan I have some AWS experience
4. Next meetings
   • Bryan I'd like to talk about the "MWStake Machinery" (How Board Members are voted on in elections, Annual Meeting of Members, etc.)
     • Markus We should discuss this in 2 weeks (after next weeks regular MWStake meeting)
   • Markus There's the regular MWStake meeting next week
     • Cindy We should publicize this again
5. Conference platform
   • ACTION ITEM Bernhard I actually have a task I still need to do. Write-up my experience using HopIn for SMWCon2020
