Sadly, I must agree that a lot of people don't know what the board is
doing.  There isn't really a lot of communication between the board and the
foundation.  But the fault lies in both.  Attempts have been made to have
meetings, but they haven't been good attendance.

I have forwarded our marketing minutes to foundation-list and I never
really got any feedback on the things.  I would like to see more traffic on
foundation-list.

Indeed.  Even outreach as several of us have been doing doesn't strictly
require being a director.  But I am interested in formulating external
partnerships and that does feel like I need to look at being on the board.
