We just update the by laws to reflect the new meeting place. |

If I am an outsider reading that. That still leaves some ambiguity, not |
| 19 |
a definitive. This is where it is, period. Also that might put some sort |
| 20 |
of 10 day announcement requirement on the board, even for regular |
| 21 |
meetings. |

Our entire infra is provided for free. So this liability of freenode |
| 24 |
going away and us losing our meeting place. While totally valid, is |
| 25 |
pretty moot in comparison to things that would effect the project much |
| 26 |
more. |

Like no freenode.net, forget trustee meetings. All #gentoo* channels are |
| 29 |
gone. Then what? Trustees losing their meeting place, would be the least |
| 30 |
of the concerns. |
