NewPipe e.V.

Today we had our third board meeting. The full protocol can be found here.

This meeting was held primarily to arrange a contract for Schabi to work on the NewPipe project during the summer. He will mainly work on the NewPipe refactor, and in particular on rewriting the player. He will also review and merge pull requests and do other maintenance tasks. The e.V. members and the Team NewPipe members have created a Matrix room to coordinate Schabi's work and make sure he always has an assigned task at any time. Before discussing the contract, Schabi resigned from the e.V.'s board to avoid being accused of conflict of interest.

On a separate note, the board agreed to donate 500€ to FSFE to support their movie about "Ada & Zangemann", a tale that promotes free software among children.

The board was made aware of the status of the e.V. infrastructure, which is currently limited by server resources, and agreed to seek sponsorsips from hosting providers, possibly involving a bare-metal machine, to avoid needing to upgrade servers continuously.

The assembly agreed to come up with a budget plan for how to spend the e.V. money during a plenum meeting around August (probably the second week).
