Summary of topics (ordered by discussion):

• Election system
• eV: bank account
• maemo trademarks

Topic (Election system):

• MentalistTraceur hasn't looked into the PHP code for elections, but is really optimistic about finding the time...
• juiceme added email templates to the repository with the PHP code for elections.

Topic (eV: bank account):

• Deutche Bank: hopefully all papers are accepted, they are being processed by the bank currently.
• General Assembly meeting is expected at 29th of March, so invitation will be published soon, and members will be able to contribute to agenda of the meeting before 22nd of March.

Topic (maemo trademarks):

• Maemo trademark will be renewed in the grace period (six months, beginning from February), to avoid double transfer of ownership (from Nokia to HiFo and from HiFo to MCeV) and to transfer ownership to MCeV directly, instead.
  It will also provide time to gather opinion of the community on which trademarks should be renewed (probably registered anew), and which ones can be allowed to expire.
• Maemo Council and the Board are preparing a draft of the announcement on TMO, for trademark-registration-renewal fund-raiser, and to publish the information on trademark registration - a summary of email exchange with Roschier Brand Attorneys.
  Hopefully, the announcement will be ready by the time the bank account becomes open for donations.
  The announcement will likely be published in the same way as meeting minutes are: at maemo.org, at talk.maemo.org, and at maemo-community mailing list.
