[Magnus Melin]

Thunderbird Project Council Meeting

When: Mar 01, 2021 at 8:00 PM – 09:01 CET
Minuter: Magnus
In the call:  Magnus, Dirk, Patrick, Berna, Ryan, Christopher
Regrets: Philipp

Financial

• Ryan had shared a financial report with the council. Working on addressing feedback before wider publishing.

Hiring/personnel

• New developer (Henry) joined the team
• Discussed other hiring related matters

Product/strategy

• Scheduled a meeting for discussing this matter 2021-03-18

Miscellaneous

• Berna asked about Town Hall agenda
• Magnus would like to at least go through developments for the last month, and maybe if there's anything from the council's side, highlight that as well
• Discussed Zoom alternatives.
• Berna would prefer BBB (big blue button)
• Magnus would keep using Zoom (we know it works, and we don't want technical disruptions, alternatives would need investigation and getting licenses set up)
• Philipp would stick to Zoom. Potentially stream to air.mozilla.org. Noted that there's a Zoom web-only version as well. If using something else, should talk about it first.
• Dirk is drafting an email around CPG. Discussed council/CPG relationship.
  
• Berna thinks the council should own the process with some improvements. She thinks if this is not done by an independent party that also provides the necessary transparency, then we are better placed to own it directly.
• Magnus thinks the council should stay away from CPG and leave that to the CPG team. This does not seem like a good topic to politicize.
