Haiku Admin Meeting 2007-07-23:

• A quick GSoC status was discussed.
• It was agreed that having Axel and Ingo working together in the same location to focus on many of the VM and stability issues was a successful endeavor:

It was proposed that this be done more often, with possible sponsorship from Haiku, Inc. to pay for costs whenever possible.
It was agreed that Axel and/or Ingo will be reimbursed for any expenses that were incurred.
This type of reimbursement support would only be reserved for certain situations deemed suitable by Haiku, Inc.

• The state of Haiku after the recent work by Axel and Ingo was discussed:

It was observed that the system is very stable at this point, even more so than was anticipated.

Haiku Admin Meeting 2007-06-18:

• Discussion about some "missing" articles on the new website - specifically old newsletters. Also desired is a way to make them easier to locate.
• Mention of the continual "browser for Haiku" topic that pops up in the mailing list and elsewhere. An official decision should be discussed and published. It may be still too early to fully decide on a direction.
• More discussion took place about a potential physical "admin gathering" in the near future.

• Some discussion took place about possibly organizing a physical "admin gathering" somewhere.
• Michael Lotz has volunteered, and is currently a primary candidate for "Project management" type tasks.
• Mention of the need to assign/complete the Haiku, Inc. 2006 financial publication.
• Discussed Haiku Compatible Badges:

It appears many are currently in favor of Stephan's designs.
Mention of possible "Haiku powered" or "Haiku inside" on a badge.
Should open-vote be used similar to the icon sets? Further discussion about decision will be moved to Admin mailing list.

The decision to summarize and publish regular Haiku Admin meetings is a step being taken to improve transparency and openness largely as a result of recent and past community feedback on the mailing list. Additionally, there has been an Admin Team Page provided with some details about the current membership and responsibilities of the Haiku Admin Team.
