If the Board would like me to, I could attend.  But I think it is
probably sufficient if the everyone on the Board has an opportunity to
give any opinions on the issue, as already discussed via email, and then
continue to delegate to you.  I suspect that between the two of us (you
can bring the 'crazy' and I will bring the 'boring') we can hash it out.

I'm not sure of the desired schedule on this but I would like to request
the opportunity to upgrade both PHP and Mantis on the server before
doing this.  One of the problems with doing something like this is
having to maintain it as we upgrade Mantis.  For that reason I would
prefer to do the upgrade prior to the changes.  And for that matter I
have at least a change or two I will already have to port.

Given that I want to also go ahead and upgrade PHP as well I would like
some time to do some testing and would request about a two week schedule
on completing the upgrades and adding the first version of license
notification support.
