[OE-core] OpenEmbedded e.V. membership status announcement

[Denys Dmytriyenko]

Hi, Andreas,

Thank you for replying back and letting us know that you are still active - 
I'll add you to the list of people to get reinstated.

We do realize that current e.V. statutes may be a bit unfair in this regard, 
that is why the Board of Directors has been working towards proposing a new 
structure for the organization and drafting new bylaws. Though, major items 
like this is what GA meetings are for...
