Unfortunately so much time elapsed between your mail and the meeting that I
didn't remember your offer until MJ Ray reminded me today. We did pass a
statement of support on the 17th:

(Minutes aren't prepared yet, but 2008-09-10.mjr.1 passed.) It's a bit late to
make a big PR push, but you can definitely add Software in the Public Interest
as a supporter of the event and the effort to eliminate software patents, as
well as add our name to the petition. I did try to sign the petition on the
website, but it doesn't seem to allow for corporate signatures.
