Hello everyone,

Details for the Beyond Licensing Town Hall event have been confirmed. We're
on for 6 PM in Boston on 21 April, with specifics and RSVPs available at:

https://osi.xwiki.com/bin/Main/OSI+Board+of+Directors/Spring2016_F2F_Info/

Our next steps are:
1) Email members to invite them - Patrick Masson will handle Monday
2) Determine audio conferencing options - I'll work on this next week
3) Promote via social networks

If you folks would spread the word to your software freedom minded friends
in and around Boston, we would be grateful.

Also, sounds like Chris Aniszczyk from this list will be joining us in
person, which is terrific.

Cheers,
LH
