As with my other cliff notes:
- all errors are my own; keep in mind these are not authoritative minutes, just my own notes
- all times are offsets from the video I link
- if you spot any problems or inaccurate statements, please let me know
- feel free to fill in areas I did not cover
{note: the video is from TiVo and starts at 5:30; the board meeting starts at 6:00pm so be prepared to fast forward. Also, there is quite a lot of dead space at the end of the video that I have not truncated}
Read Meg Dickinson’s NG article for another take on the meeting, and her twitter feed (you have to scroll back to June 10th, I don’t know how to deep link all her tweets as a group for the night).
