These are indeed the Official Minutes of the Meeting of the Board of Directors of the Open Computing Facility. Accept no substitute.

Those present included:

    appel                   cgd                     dpassage
    glass (NOT)             gwh                     mehlhaff
    welch                   yukai

The only notable quote was made by appel, and you'll have to ask him about it.

Margaret was mentioned by glass, despite the fact that he told the Board he wasn't there.

With regards to the appointment of the new disk-czar, welch: there wasn't much said about the whole matter. appel asked if anyone had anything to say about the matter. dpassage said that he would have liked to have been involved in the decision making process, but appel pointed out that he was sent mail and didn't reply. (It should be noted that appel knew dpassage was in Colorado.) gwh also was less than happy about the transition, but did not raise any substantial objections. He did, however, note that the software that had been used to generate the offender listings was defective, and furthermore, not his fault.

The other topic of discussion was the possibility the OCF being tasked with running a cluster of personal computers. The various pros and cons of Macintoshes and IBM PC's were discussed (and I won't go into the details since it is, for the most part a religious issue). It is more likely that we will be getting Macitoshes, though it really has not yet been decided.
