Thanks, this is a painful routine, but from my experience as Gnome secretary
it's important for the community and it's better to have not perfect minutes
delivered quickly after the meeting than perfect minutes posted 3 weeks
later (when faced with "I should finish the minutes and post them when I have
more time" I would suggest to just post them as is, then the worse which can
happen is that people will ask more question and raise awareness :-)

The reason that most board agendas begin with "approval of the minutes
from the last meeting" is specifically so that minutes can be
distributed quickly and corrected later if there's a problem. Buffering
minutes to get them right leads to more trouble than it's worth.
