Zimfest 2029

Board Positions
Fundraising & communications board positions – put on the website? Yes. Mandy will ask Larry to add these.

Zimfest 2025 Recording Project
Report and questions from the Zimfest 2025 recording project squad (Claire, Parker, Charlie)
The project is stuck on permission from a couple of the bands. Steve (mix/masterer) wants to have everything in hand before he starts. Charlie is in communication with the leaders of those bands.
Claire is making sure liner notes include information, including any credit where credit is due, and information about the songs. Caden wants to help with liner notes.
Tech Committee Update
The Tech Committee and the Board have agreed the default method of communication will be via a TC representative periodically giving updates during Board meetings. If the Board needs to communicate something, a TC representative can be invited to a meeting, or Mandy or Angela will communicate the information.
Current priorities:
- Developing a policy for account/access management (google drive, account credentials)
- Adopting better infrastructure for domain/DNS hosting (website issues)
Both projects are currently in the requirements gathering phase.
