Thats sad to hear. We hope to see you again soon Vizzini.

Can we go ahead and start the nomination process and discussion now? There are a few people
that would be nice to see in this role, Filip, Hartmut, Alex, James, Hpoussin, Art, did I forget
anyone else? I would like to hear from each of them on if they would even want the job?

I am leaning towards Alex currently for my nomination because he has the most time to focus on the
kernel and has shown a lot of initiative though I don't always agree with his development and
research methods so someone else could get my nomination and or vote.

Well lets get moving. Not that I want to see you gone or anything =) but your
we do need to move forward with this and I need to get some real business plans
together for the foundation stuff. BTW I am taking vacation for the next few days 
from my day job and one of the things on my TODO list is to talk to the Legal people
about the trademark stuff again.

Thanks
Steven
