Outstanding minutes

| Jonathan McDowell | Yes |

| Martin Zobel-Helas | Yes |
| Joerg Jaspert | Yes |
| Robert Brockway | Yes |
Motion passed with a vote of 6 yes, 0 missing.
Any other business
Jonathan stated he'd looked at the membership cleanup work (trimming down the contributing member list to include only those still active), but that the number of members requiring to be polled was high enough that doing so via email responses didn't seem reasonable. There was some discussion about either extending the web interface to allow an "I'm still interested" indication, or some sort of email processing script.
Adjournment
The meeting was adjourned until Thursday, April 12th, 2012 at 20:00 UTC in #spi on irc.spi-inc.org.
