== Minutes ==

* Fix a day for quarterly PSC meetings to avoid sending a doodle every time
  * Since we were few PSC members, we decided to send out the last doodle or email by september with options to set a fixed day and time from now on
* GRASS GIS 8 release schedule
  * we are at almost there: g.extension, t.remove, r.in.pdal, simplify band reference management changes are merged.
  * we discussed new splash screen; Vero and Vaclav exchanged SVGs to try out other options combining their attempts in https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/1716
  * temporal framework backward compatibility it is a draft PR (https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/1454), we have t.upgrade and t.downgrade for the meantime
  * ctypesgen PR remains to be solved and merged (https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/1651)
  * integrate band reference into signatures seems to be ready to be merged too (https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/1501) 
* GRASS GIS 7.8.6 release schedule
  * with the g.extension fix being merged, we are ready for a RC2 stage
  * we need to clarify what needs to be done on the server side regarding new addon's repository structure, so all new addons appear online here: https://grass.osgeo.org/grass78/manuals/addons/
* Sponsoring
  * !OpenCollective:
    * It is in place (https://opencollective.com/osgeo/projects/grass) and we were granted admin rights to configure style
    * However, it seems it does not accept !PayPal, possibilities are only bank transfer or credit card
    * Helena will ask the board if that is something that can be configured by OSGeo since they are the fiscal host
  * Donations:
    * We have received ~2K euro from https://bhinc.com/
    * It was suggested to send a "thank you" email around to all sponsors and donors, while using the chance to promote the !OpenCollective account
    * Once the email is out, this might be a new item to promote in social media
* Presence in social media
  * create weekly content for twitter especially
  * upcoming threads will cover GSoC projects, new addon by Paulo van Breugel, FOSS4G presentations and workshops
  * Vero will prepare these
* Website
  * Launched one year ago, and we still do not have a search engine
  * Nicolas Bozon does not answer emails
* AGM at FOSS4G 2021
  * While in the meeting, the GRASS slide received new content: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1brbBb7-sKRI6U4dZ7LKnBT_-NnWzyS2TaZqVXzy8RDo/edit#slide=id.g233aae6a05_0_0
  * Vero will record the 1 minute video
