The monthly board meeting of SPI will take place on irc.oftc.net #spi tonight (Wed 21 Jan) at 20:00 UTC. Members may have seen that the meeting announcement is delayed because the secretary has been ill and it seems that none of the other board members has stepped in to take over. I think the only new associated project currently under discussion is waiting for a legal opinion, so your guess about the meeting contents is probably as good as mine.
My guesses: there will probably be a treasurer’s report; Martin Zobel-Helas has been filling in the gaps in the 2007-8 minutes, so there’ll be two or three sets for approval; the secretary may report on website redevelopment progress; Privoxy might have taken up the offer of associated project status from the SPI December 2008 meeting; and there might be a report on Tux4Kids trademarks.
Watch the comments below this article for a link to the summary when posted.
Hi MJ,
The email went out and the agenda has been posted (with a few minor subsequent tweaks) as of 11:45 EST / 1645 UTC today. Unfortunately, email delivery is delayed due to problems with SPI’s mailing list server, according to Joerg Jaspert. The agenda is in the usual place:

I encourage you and everyone else to attend despite the late notice. I will of course endeavor to provide earlier advance notice next time, health permitting.
Sincerely,
Jimmy Kaplowitz
SPI Secretary
Thanks to Jimmy for the status update, but I really feel that getting announcements out reliably on time could have been addressed by any of the board members a long time ago, as you know. As someone with long-term health challenges, I sympathise with health-related disruptions, but feel the late notice was fairly avoidable.
The meeting log will probably appear at http://lists.spi-inc.org/pipermail/spi-general/2009-January/002726.html
[…] that the meeting announcement came out on time – hooray! It looks like minutes may also catch up to last meeting, […]
