[atlarge-discuss] RE: Panel Meetings

["Abel Wisman" <abel@able-towers.com>]

As you should know I have proposed in an earlier post to meet on irc,
not all panel members can do this, even if we can find a timeslot in
which we would all be able to participate. 

The cost of phone call across all continents involved in the current
panel would be way to high to ask of any of us to carry, henceforth the
maillist and irc remain as only viable means of communications.

We do our best, the ricd server is there (I have not seen you on it yet
though) and I hope to talk to a lot of members on there as well as panel
members. The hours I keep are so ridiculous that I defy most timeszones
anyway :)
