+\begin{enumerate}
+\item The meeting was opened.
+\item \meetingchairman\ was elected meeting chairman, \meetingsecretary\ meeting secretary, and \approval\ approval.
+\item The standard agenda was confirmed.
+\item The meeting went through the minutes from \lastmeetingdate.
+  \begin{itemize}
+  \item Still no minutes are available from April 21.
+  \item Leif-Jöran still needs excerpt from May 19.
+  \item Leif-Jöran's turns with \prqq\ continues. The new machine is in
+    place: \savanah\ is the new \gnuhost. The old machine had been taken by
+    the police. No user information was available on that machine. It is
+    now back in Gothenburg and need investigation.
+  \item The meeting planned for June 30 became a work meeting, attended
+    by Leif-Jöran and Guilhem.
+  \end{itemize}
+\item Reports
+  \begin{enumerate}
+  \item Economy. Five new members and one known from previously have
+    payed membership fees. In total there are 62 paying members this
+    year.
+  \item System. Quite a bit was done in the early summer.
+    \begin{itemize}
+    \item The web mail is migrated to \elefant. With this new setup,
+      email headers are cached on the serving Dovecote side instead of
+      in Roundcube, which results in increased performance. There have
+      been reports about slow connections, which might be because of
+      corrupted cached indices in Dovecote. Guilhem will remove those,
+      so that they are rebuilt.
+    \item The \mx\ service is migrated to \elefant.
+    \item Some security changes are implemented:
+      \begin{itemize}
+      \item Password hashing is changes to be 10 times slower. This is
+        to complicate brute force attacks.
+      \item \pgp\ keys can be uploaded to the \ldap\ directory for
+        emails to be encrypted on delivery.
+      \item Regarding password reset. Guilhem is working on a project
+        for one-time reset through a token. For this to work,
+        alternative addresses need to be added to the
+        \ldap\ directory.
+      \item The idea of sending tokens using \sms\ messages was
+        brought up. More information is needed.
+      \item The \ldap\ directory is open for all, so that the web
+        configuration tool can be used.
+      \end{itemize}
+    \end{itemize}
+  \item Other reports
+    \begin{itemize}
+    \item Delphine have made an accessibility review of the website
+      and the wiki. There are some changes that she wants to
+      perform. Changes will be made in connection to the transfer to
+      the new web infrastructure. An activity day, October 18, will be
+      focused towards web accessibility.
+    \item Leif-Jöran is negotiating about a rack section at one of the
+      server halls that have been discussed before.
+    \item It has been suggested by a member to introduce the usage an
+      online voting service, Vote\textsc{it}. Members of the board
+      have looked into that service before for other purposes. For
+      Fripost we don't see the need right now: geographical distance
+      is not encouraged, and we usually do not vote much. Democracy in
+      Fripost is built around local engagement and consensus. However,
+      solutions such as Vote\textsc{it} should not be ruled out for
+      the future.
+    \end{itemize}
+  \end{enumerate}
+\item Activity days and other activities
+  \begin{enumerate}
+  \item Previous activities. There are two activities in the past to
+    report on.
+    \begin{itemize}
+    \item May $\mathrm{1^{st}}$. The following can be read on Fripost's wiki
+      \begin{quote}
+        Friposts medlemmar var och delade ut flygblad om Fripost i och
+        nära första-majtågen i Göteborg. Hela 600 flygblad hade
+        skrivits ut för att delas ut och alla gick åt. Friposts aktiva
+        deltog i tre första-majtåg. Flygbladen delades ut på
+        Järntorget, Masthuggstorget och Gustav Adolfs torg.\myhalfpar
+        Responsen var bra och stämningen god. Det var inte sällsynt
+        att Fripost var känt redan sedan tidigare hos de som fick
+        flygblad. För\-mod\-li\-gen minst två medlemmar har rekryterats
+        genom aktiviteten. Förs\-ta-maj\-ak\-ti\-vi\-te\-ten är värd att delta i
+        också nästa år.
+      \end{quote}
+    \item Forum theatre activity May 21. Six persons attended the
+      session. The moral was that we (the board) should create a play
+      that can be performed. Lola has suggested to Elinor from
+      Studiefrämjandet that Fripost could perform the play to a broad
+      audience. Next meeting about this need at least four hours,
+      because otherwise people don't get up and release
+      themselves. Soon there will be more to read at the wiki.
+    \end{itemize}
+  \item Coming activities
+    \begin{itemize}
+    \item Fripost will not participate in Omställningskonferensen this year.
+    \item On Kulturnatta Friday October 10, we will prepare a casual
+      hangout at omställningsverkstaden. What need to be prepared is
+      T-skirts, some banner, and posters with those news paper
+      articles that we used before. The target is to hang around and
+      encourage discussions.
+    \item Planning of activities on \fscons, need to be followed up
+      upon.
+    \end{itemize}
+  \end{enumerate}
+\end{enumerate}
+The agenda items 7, 8, and 9 were postponed because of time limitations.
+\begin{enumerate}
+\setcounter{enumi}{9}
+\item Next board meeting will take place October 8 at 18 at Språkbanken. Also note the work meeting September 22 at 18 at Spåkbanken.
+\item The meeting was closed.
