==SME Server Project Leadership Restructure Effort==

This page shall serve as an overview and agenda for the effort to re-establish the leadership structure for the SME Server project.  It will be updated as necessary to reflect the state of the restructuring effort, the current plan of action, and the community members who are involved with this effort.  

===Background===

The SME Server project is governed by [[SME Server:Constitution]].  This constitution and the leadership structure it sets out are essentially defunct.  This defunct governing document and associated leadership structure have hampered the overall leadership of the project.

* Evaluate the current Constitution and update it to better serve the SME Server project and community;
* Evaluate the current SME Server, Inc. non-profit corporation to determine if this entity is the best entity for the community moving forward;
* Implement the new leadership structure.

===Current Status===

* Setting up an Oregon non-profit corporation called SME Server Foundation, Inc.
* Revising the Constitution.

===Interim Board of Directors===
* Greg J. Zartman, P.E.
* Peter Walter
* Charlie Brady 

===Community members involved with this effort===
* Charlie Brady
* Chris Burnat
* Ian Wells
* Filippo Carletti
* Greg J. Zartman, P.E.
* Gavin Weight 
* Jonathan Marsden
* Michael Doerner
* Paul Floor
