[Tinyos-alliance] 7/11 Meeting notes

[Adam Wolisz]

Dear all,
- I agree with the move to shorten the reviewing period of TEPS to 28 
days...

.  As for the nam eo f the non-profit: I like the name:  TinyOSAllience...

- As fo rth epossible candiadtes: i believe that we should go in two 
stpes: the president -
   and afterwards the persident should have the possibility to suggest 
his candiadtes for the
   other duties.
   I believe that DAVID ist the perfect candiadte for  the  presidetn!!

BEst
Adam
