[okfn-coord] Example Minutes for publication

Tue May 19 11:03:01 UTC 2009

Hi guys

I've typed up my notes from Satruday's meeting:
http://okfn.org/board/wiki/ExampleMinutesForPublication

One of my actions was to prepare a set of minutes we'd be happy to put
on the public wiki. This is they, and I welcome your comments - they
may well go into too much detail. I suppose the best thing would be to
discuss how detailed we want them to be at the next Board meeting,
when we approve them.

I've added everyone's actions on the meeting page:
