We haven't formally discussed it yet. I assume that getting this straight is one of the last things on the minds of the Intel/OH guys and the board has no reason to rush them :) Obviously we want to continue to deepen our relationship both with the OH team and with other parts of Intel as well, so we'll work with them to make sure we get it right. In practice, it is worth noting that the exact nature of advisory board seats are extremely flexible. For example, we often invite advisory board members to bring technical advisors to calls. So I'd expect that while there will formally be one less seat at the table we'll frequently have representatives from both 'old' Intel and the OH crew, depending on what is appropriate for the topic at hand. Hope that answers the question- Luis _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
