I actually have, too, including at a Board meeting. I continue to feel that not paying someone for financial business operations, i.e., expecting open source software project community members to take enough delight in volunteering for otherwise mundane financial tasks to do them reliably, promptly, and well, is simply completely unrealistic at best, and at the level of SPI as an organization is unprofessional.
