Emulator
SRI continues to make progress on the emulator. Fund drive is basically ready to go but waiting on a letter from Jon to the board for approval. Some discussion of having SRI demo their emulator at the OpenMPE booth at HPWorld if it is ready in time.

HPWorld
OpenMPE has a booth and session assigned at HPWorld, but the details are as yet unknown. Jon has spoken with Debbie Lawson about including something from OpenMPE in the "welcome package".

Spreading the Word
Beechglen has agreed to send out Literature about OpenMPE. SSA has announced that they will support their software beyond the MPE end-of-life. An emulator beta-site list needs to be collected along with the fundraising effort.

SIB
There was some discussion of OpenMPE's taking over the System Improvement Ballot from Interex. This may be a natural transition when the Emulator arrives, particularly if it is OpenMPE-managed.

HP Talks
Mike Paivinen is ready for the next round of talks and has developed a list of demographic questions similar to previous Interex surveys.

Web Site
Ron's work on the web site continues. He reports that there have been no major visible changes but considerable work going on "under the hood". A major focus is on making the site more maintainable, including using Perl to automatically update some things.
