Hi!
I agree that it's hard to keep track of what the board is up to, and I 
certainly got a feeling for this the year in between my 2 runs.
One simple thing, that I think we haven't been doing in a little while 
now, is to hold foundation-wide meetings more than once a year.
This have previously been done on IRC, and I think it would be 
beneficial to do a meeting like this at least every 3 months.
The agenda for these meetings could include the board presenting a recap 
of the last 3 months, 2-3 current topics and open floor for questions. 
This is more or less how the Adboard meetings are done and it's a good 
model for Foundation meetings I think.
