Since the brouhaha of May 2013 I've been thinking the relationship
between the foundation and it's volunteers. I have assembled some
references and thoughts at:

I expect this would be an interesting meeting if people are interested in
participating, and I hope that we would brainstorm some ideas about how we
want to move forward on all of these questions and others if we have time.

Adding my voice of appreciation to the outgoing members - Anders, Arjuna,

This is very weird. Remember that we are a (multi-lingual, cough cough)
