[Boston-editorial] Re: [Boston-tech] 2/14: webitorial meeting

[Matthew Williams]

Moving which weekday the meeting is on probably won't work. At the 
general meeting, there were a fair number of people who professed an 
interest in coming to the webitorial meeting, and Monday night seemed 
best for people--and it is when we were meeting, before this last 
meeting, which we had on a weekend, hoping to accommodate Rob, who was 
still too busy to come. As for doing it a week later, that's 
Presidents' Day and that seemed like an even worse choice than 
Valentine's Day, at least for people at the general meeting. If you can 
make it on Presidents' Day, Joe and Jon, I suppose it might make sense 
to move it till then--I think only one person said they couldn't make 
it on Presidents' Day, and she (Nicole, the video group coordinator) is 
not a core webitorial person like you, Joe. Other people's thoughts? --
