Source Code Access
B. Foster talked with M. Paivinen regarding multiple companies/people having source code access. B. Foster pointed out that this would cause multiple version of MPE to develop. OpenMPE would prefer being the sole stewards (only write license holder) of the source code and would be the 'lab' for 3rd-party support providers. M. Paivinen indicated that HP might be interested if OpenMPE could prove that 3rd-party support providers are interested in this arrangement. B. Foster then spoke to Steve Cooper of Allegro. Steve indicated that Resource/3000 would like this kind of arrangement. B. Foster is drafting a letter that would be for 3rd-party providers indicating their willingness to work with OpenMPE.

Elections
The Board revised the "Call for Candidates". D. Garverick, J. Wolff and M. Perdue all intend to run. D. Garverick to send note to S. Suraci and J. Burke requesting their status. They will have until 2/8 to respond. A non-response will be interpreted as a "no" answer. M. Perdue reported the MPE version of the membership database is nearly ready. He will send the database schema to the Board for review.

M. Gorfinkel
Martin Gorfinkel's "employment" concludes at the end of February. The work the Board is considering for him to do goes beyond the original agreement. He's not "invoiced" OpenMPE nor has anything been delivered that indicates what work has been accomplished.
