Build Review PSA
B. Foster said the Review PSA work is to be done between now and September. B. Foster will talk with potential consultants regarding their schedules. M. Pavinen will use the PSA from November. M. Pavinen still thinks it should be 4 days of work. B. Foster asked about a Board member attending the Review. A Board member is welcome to attend however it will be at this person's own expense and they too will be under NDA. B. Foster also asked M. Pavinen if OpenMPE had a customer needing big changes could OpenMPE perform that work. M. Pavinen responded that he will ask R. McDonald. B. Foster expects to talk with M. Pavinen next week and touch base with potential consultants.

"Parking" Release
HP had stated before that they will issue a final "parking" release. OpenMPE feels that HP should escrow the code with some outside agency.

OpenMPE Web Site
Two issues have recently come up regarding OpenMPE's web site. First, a company has asked about doing a mutual link. The Board is not sure what form that would take (banner ad or side-bar ad). Second, several vendors in last week or so wanted to update their information and found the link was broken. The needed changes may require upgrade in web site hosting service subscription and additional cost (appears to be minimal)
