John Burke reported on OpenMPE BOD meeting that just took place:
=========================================================

It turns out the previous Board, despite my pleading, agreed
to an NDA and in fact some members have already signed it. I
have not seen the NDA yet, but am operating currently on a
blanket verbal NDA covering anything I learn until such time
as I either sign the existing NDA or the Board takes action
to revise the current NDA.  My position on NDAs is well known.
=============================================================

Let the record show (as it partially does in minutes of prior
BOD meeting) that this (now) ex-member of the BOD did NOT
agree to a formal NDA, did NOT sign same, and voted AGAINST
the recent bylaw changes associated with this area.

As per my prior post, I urge all current members of the BOD
who have not yet signed the NDA to refuse to do so until HP
demonstrates good faith by delivering some substantive action
on OpenMPE issues, and reverses Dave Wilde's "not this year"
position stated in the recent ComputerWorld piece.  There is
IMO nothing that legitimately needs to be discussed under a
formal NDA before that can and should happen.  What HP needs
to do is not a secret....
