This is so unfair.

I didn't even know we were meeting.
Thought we agreed to get notified three-days before the day

Hi Onyeibo,

we are meeting every other week at the same time and in the same channel
for years now. I think all EMEA ambassadors meanwhile should be aware of
this, even without a reminder. Everybody can set up his own reminder
with in evolution, kontact, orage, and many other pograms in Fedora. If
you are not at your computer, set a reminder in your phone.

Jiri sent a reminder, but it was late. We are only human and sometimes
we forget things. I am pretty sure Jiri appreciates a little help. So
let me ask all the people who complained about missing reminders in the
past: Why didn't you send it yourself?

There is a famous quote by John F. Kennedy: "Ask not, what your country
can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." Or more general:
"Ask not, what other can do for you, ask what you can do for others." 

I would like us all to take this opportunity and think about this quote
a little.

Kind regards,
Christoph

I'm sorry, but I'm just a human being with a lot of duties at work and
quite complicated situation in the family when one of the family members
is seriously sick.
I'd like to send out invitations three days before the meeting, but
sometimes I just don't have time or thoughts to do it. I'd have no
problem if someone volunteered to do it instead of me.

BTW the meetings are fairly regular. We haven't skipped any for months.
I always announce the date of the next meeting in the email with meeting
minutes and if someone needs to be reminded there are tons of calendar
and alarm tools where he/she can set a by-weekly event.
