=Board announces six resolutions=
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees announced six resolutions this week. Resolutions accepting BradPatrick's resignation, advertising the position of 'legal coordinator', and hiring Rob Halsell as a computer technician passed (see related story). Other resolutions accepted the hiring of Cary Bass as Volunteer Coordinator, and authorized the purchase of about $280,000 in hardware (though the price may be less due to steep discounts). Among the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikimedia_budget/2007/Q1/hardware/purchase_1&oldid=545423 purchases] include 36 Apache application servers, 20 Squid servers, and various Foundry equipment.
Early Tuesday, another resolution, passed on 23 March, was made public. This resolution regulates the usage of non-free content, under certain legal provisions such as fair use.
