Hello,
I remember everyone to answer to the Doodle:
https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/e5yK03qe
So far the most voted day is next Wednesday, at 15.30 CEST. I think at
this point that probably the event will be held within strict workdays
(Mon-Thu, better exclude Friday). Since some people may want to join
but prefer evenings, including one person that did patch reviews and
may hold some stakes, I added another option on Wednesday May 11th,
17.30-19.00 CEST. I guess we all have a job, and that would basically
be a late call of the day, possibly prolonging the work day a bit, and
also people that can't have calls regarding PoDoFo during their job
could at least get a (small) leave to finish job earlier that day and
be able to join the meeting. I ask people that voted so far to also
express availability/unavailability for that day, and add some more
availabilities. I remind you that the scope of these doodles is to try
to maximize participation and that there is also the yellow "if need
be" option where you can state an availability that is not comfortable
for you but still feasible.
Thank you again!
Cheers,
Francesco
