To Danny Piccirillo,
It would appear that I have missed another of your meetings.
That's unfortunate, but not being aware of the date/time of the
meeting, it was perhaps inevitable.
I find it unusual that you wouldn't post the meeting information
in a location that one would expect. Normally, meeting information is
posted to the Fridge. From there, it's picked up by the Ubuntu Weekly
Newsletter. People involved in numerous Teams know to look on the
Fridge for information concerning meeting dates, times and locations.
Instead, you post it on a Google Calendar.
Google Calendar. I can't even begin to think of one good reason
for using that. Right off the bat, to use it, you have to accept
Google-analytics. I don't accept Google-analytics. At all. Ever. I
do not believe that anyone should have the right to follow me around
and see where I go just so they can try to sell me something that I
don't want. That's even more invasive than the telemarketer that
calls you just as you sit down to dinner, after a long and
exceptionally hard day at work. It's more abusive than the
overly-religious person who really doesn't know you, but follows you
around expounding on all the things you do that are wrong. It's more
ridiculous than the micro-managing boss that wants to know everything
that you do, and takes exception to all of it. It's as wrong as the
Operating System that continually phones home to let it's master know
what you have for software, and deletes anything that it feels isn't
appropriate (i.e. isn't made by that company). I don't DO Google
Calendar. Period.
But I DO look at the events listed on the Fridge. In fact, I have
an RSS feed so that I know when they are added or changed. It's
exceptionally easy for me to be aware of what information is on the
Fridge, because I set it up to be as easy on me as possible. And I
set it up strictly because it IS the normal place to get such information.
So, I would request that, in the future, you post the information
where it would be readily accessible to people when you want them to
attend a meeting. Post it on the Fridge. Please.
