Hello guys, I'm sorry, I made a mistake in assuming that Dominik was available in these weeks. I am not comfortable in holding this meeting without him, so let's just delay it (I just deleted the doodle). Still I think it was useful as we identified that Wednesday was preferred by most people. I'm talking with Dominik right now: most probably we will reschedule the event for Wednesday May 18th. I will update you soon.
