[Go-essp-tech] Call times

[Cecelia DeLuca]

Hi Gavin,

I understand that you have had this scheduled for a while and are 
expecting a good turnout.
If the earlier time compromised that I completely agree that something 
else would need
to be considered.  (IMHO I think the late scheduling change aspect could be
handled, there is plenty of last minute on and off about calls on this 
list.)

It could be useful to identify a spillover time slot, if the team needs 
it, during the week.
There is a lot to talk about and it's hard to watch contention caused by 
trying
to fit everything into one hour.  That 8amMT slot is a decent candidate 
since the METAFOR
calls were at that time and just recently ended, freeing up some people 
who used to attend
both.  I know it's hardest on the W Coasters.

Could we set up a doodle and make sure that the people who want to see 
the p2p
demo could do it at the 8amMT time?  And maybe use the opportunity to 
check other
days of the week for options when talking can happen if talking needs to 
be more
than an hour?  Might be good to use it for other go-essp matters as well.

That said, I'm not sure who makes the final decisions on the schedule 
but will not
be offended by being overruled...

Thanks,
Cecelia
