I'll add that Mark Spencer, who is not a current Pidgin developer, is
on the board due to his historical involvement, and---most
importantly---his impressive business experience running Digium.

It was recommended that most directors should be involved with the
project so that they have a good understanding of its needs, and that
some be unrelated to the project to make sure we aren't overly biased.
