Not all of us are complaining, Donna (I mean, donna). Keep up the good
work, we know it's not easy.
Again, thanks to all on the project.

i believe different board members have explained this several
times...but i'll say it this time -- it's my job as secretary to
convert our informal minutes into formal, publishable minutes. yes,
it's obvious that i'm behind. but when you're in a fight for you job,
some priorities have to take precedence over others. i can assure you,
however, that the board meets every week (not every other).

perhaps...just perhaps...instead of complaining and doing nothing, your
message might be better received with an offer to help?
openmpe really is trying to preserve what's left of the mpe 'community'
that we all seem to love. and yet, the board gets very little feedback
other than being told what an miserable job we're doing. if this
'community' means so much and if it's worth saving -- then do something
positive to help save it. - d
