2004-06-18-02 Working w/ HP	Executive session regarding recent conversations with M. Paivinen (HP).
2004-06-18-03 Budgetting	The question of MPE source code access was revisited with the result that four levels of access were categorized, along with estimates of the amounts of money that would be required to operate at the level of access granted: Level 0: No source access - OpenMPE would have no ability to perform anything useful for the community, so the budget for this is $0. Level 1: Read only access - We could not see that OpenMPE would have any role here either - $0. Level 2: Read access with Write access only to create patches - OpenMPE could manage contractors to fix operating system defects that are discovered after end of HP support - a budget of $1-2 million per year was suggested. Level 3: Unrestricted Write access - OpenMPE could staff projects to extend MPE capabilities to respond to changes in networking standards and to support new peripherals - a budget of $3 million per year was suggested.
