Future of OpenMPE
Jon reported to the board the results for the QuickPoll regarding what OpenMPE should be doing. Of the 33 respondants, 29 wanted OpenMPE working on the emulator, 26 wanted it in advocacy and 21 said that it should maintain MPE. The need for a person dedicated to making things happen is apparent. So the near term roadmap for OpenMPE is as follows:
  • Locate a person who can spend time organizing and making things happen and funding to hire that person for one year.
  • Get the virtual Lab project plan written and presented to HP.
  • Get a commitment from HP that OpenMPE gets the MPE source.

QuickPoll
The next QuickPoll (to be finalized via email) will explore the how the perceived need for an emulator would change if HP were to allow 9000 to 3000 conversions.
