Minutes 20080320

Hey peoples,

Here are the General Meeting minutes. I also recorded the audio of the entire meeting, which will be made available a little later. I did this so there will be no debate, I hope, of what exactly went on during the meeting. If you think there are any errors in the minutes, just check it against the audio and e-mail me. Thanks!
