[opensource-dev] Brown-bag meeting to continue dialog on TVPV

[Lance Corrimal]

Fact is that the TPV policy, point 7, is open to interpretation.
as long as the wording is not unambiguous, people will continue to 
interpret it in different ways.
and as long as it is not rewritten, anything along the lines of "but 
we mean it like this" being said by anyone is not going to matter at 
all.
