I think the tone of your response was way over the top. Yes, the meeting time should have been posted to the Fridge, but the marketing list was sent a clear message with the meeting information and a reminder of it... I am pretty sure that the majority of those interested were aware of it. A friendly nudge to post the meeting time to the Fridge would have been enough. > Google Calendar.

With such a violent disagreement with Google Analytics, be sure to avoid using the Ubuntu website, wiki and help website. -- Matthew East http://www.mdke.org gnupg pub 1024D/0E6B06FF -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list ubuntu-marketing@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing
