Is it really there ? In this case I can testify I am alone since one hour.

Cheers,

It would help if these messages were posted perhaps one day before, and six
hours before. I would have been online for this, but I wasn't because I
simply wasn't aware that there was a meeting then.

(Does not being aware of the meetings make me a bad member? Does it make
board members bad members? It's just too easy to dismiss people like this.)

Good idea.

I don't think it reflects badly on most SPI members, but I do think
board members should be sure to know about the meetings - at least the
regular monthly meetings governed by SPI resolution 2002-05-07.wta, and
that they should attempt to find out what happens at meetings they miss
(and therefore they should have known about the adjournments, since they
were announced on spi-general, a low-volume list). In any case, I am
glad that Anthony Towns posted a reminder about the meeting next Tuesday
to both spi-general and the board list. That way all the board members
will at least have been informed, and we will have the best possible
chance to meet quorum.
