Future of OpenMPE Attendance at HPWorld provided for various board
members a stark reminder of the urgency of OpenMPE's mission. With that
in mind, the Board has started designing and implementing a new plan.
First, it was RESOLVED that OpenMPE cease its attempts to get tax-exempt
status and reorganize as a for-profit entity. Second it was RESOLVED
that OpenMPE talk with HP regarding specific deliverables in a set time
frame. Tentatively scheduled a meeting for next Thursday to continue
work on this item.

While I am not surprised by the move, I was expecting it to happen at
some point, I am curious as to how the board thinks OpenMPE can continue
to be thought of as representing the community as a for-profit entity.

I would think that such a move would at least be discussed with the
membership, I saw no mention of this in the 4 months since the decision
was taken, or did HP ask you to NDA this as well?

Comments are my own, not my employer's... Etc.
