| 2005-03-04-02 Web Site |
Need to get in touch with Jon Backus regarding his credit card and payment for the web site. S. Suraci suggested Verio. B. Foster's company might also be able to host our site. There are plenty of choices. M. Klein offered to host it temporarily. B. Foster to contact Jon Backus. The Board would not like to have the web hosting fail during the election period, but current service seems to be expensive. Various experience with other hosts were related. Current host is apparently UNIX based and CGI scripts are Perl. Investigation to continue to seek a more economical vendor. |
| 2005-03-04-03 Election |
D. Garverick to contact three members who did not provide valid membership numbers during vote. Also, D. Garverick to send message to both OpenMPE and HP3000-l mailing lists reminding them to vote and the importance of obtaining a membership number. |
| 2005-03-04-04 Treasure's Report |
Recent activity to pay the accountant for preparing the annual tax return leaves OpenMPE with a balance of $540. Preprinted checks on the account have been received. Received notice from the web hosting company that we must remit for continued service. This service was still being paid by Jon Backus, but the expiry date for his credit card was reached, triggering the dunning notice from the hosting service. P. Edwards remains as assistant treasurer pending Ron Horner's official resignation. |
| 2005-03-04-05 Meeting w/ HP |
Discussed M. Pavinen's letter that informed the Board that he is traveling and thus not available for the usual liaison phone meetings. M. Pavinen has a public status update which is expected soon. At our next contact with him the Board should remind him to include the SIB'05 announcement in that message and also that HP continues to work with OpenMPE. Additionally, M. Pavinen needs to make it clear that HP is continuing to partner with OpenMPE to determine MPE's future. |
