[Board] Re: [OSGeo Finance] Financial Statement for 2007

[Dave McIlhagga]

Well - looks like your stuck with me doing the best I can to make  
this work. :)

Will see what I can do -- I'll try to take a few minutes this weekend  
to maybe go over everything and see if I can at least delegate some  
activities. Tyler, I suspect I'll be leaning on you somewhat for some  
of this.

Dave
