In person Board Meeting (Everyone)

We have had a lot of discussion about having an in person meeting several (maybe all) of us think it is vital. According to the schedules filled in there are only 4 weeks until the one possible time for all to meet. We are in a very tight place financially so there is no money to support this meeting but as a board we need to do some work that can't be done well via conference call and IRC.

• • No good day for all, trying to at least schedule an interim skype or other form of video chat now for an extended biz-dev meeting and brainstorming session

Adjournment

Bennet moved and (unknown) seconded a motion to adjourn at 20:57
