elacheche_anisSorry guys, wasn't able to think this month, I already have plenty of work and my LoCo Re-Approval + the organization of the Software Freedom Day..18:45
Kilosnp elacheche_anis18:45
Kiloswe understand, re- approval is rather stressful18:46
Kiloswb craigbrash18:46
elacheche_anisvery x'(18:46
inetproI guess with so few people around we might need to discuss this topic in a next meeting?18:46
Kilosinetpro  agreed18:46
inetprothose who are here are you happy with the date at least?18:46
pieter2627maybe we should take it to the mailing list18:46
inetproas in every 4th Wednesday of each month?18:47
pieter2627seeing that it will affect next attendance18:47
inetpropieter2627: I'll add it on the next agenda18:47
pieter2627didn't some say that it was a bit late/early?18:48
inetprobut I agree, discussing on the mailing list might be a good idea18:48
Kilosmaybe we should all push the list for a whileand see ifwe can improve next meetings attendance18:48
Kilosthe list is very quiet18:48
Kilosoh philipballew18:49
superflymeh. using Launchpad's lists is a bit of a pain18:49
inetprowho takes on the task of raising the point on the mailing list?18:49
superflythey don't change the reply-to, which is incredibly frustrating18:49
Kiloscan you maybe do reminders for next meeting on f/book please18:50
