Future of OpenMPE
Attendance at HPWorld provided for various board members a stark reminder of the urgency of OpenMPE's mission. With that in mind, the Board has started designing and implementing a new plan. First, it was RESOLVED that OpenMPE cease its attempts to get tax-exempt status and reorganize as a for-profit entity. Second it was RESOLVED that OpenMPE talk with HP regarding specific deliverables in a set time frame. Tentatively scheduled a meeting for next Thursday to continue work on this item.
