Re: Why did so few GNUsteppers attend the meeting? (was: Re: GNUstep monthly meeting (audio/(video) call) on Saturday, 13th of June 2026 -- Reminder)

Hi Lars, It’s a weekend evening, and I take my time off seriously :) Graham.

It was a little sad that only three of us took part in the meeting. Why is that? - Is it because the meeting is too often, e.g. monthly? Would you have attended if it were only bi-monthly like some time ago? - Is it because the time of the year, I mean maybe you’re rather outside during summer time, enjoying the nice weather? - Is it because the meeting is to broadly announced now, should I stop posting announcements on reddit? - Is it because the meeting is to long, should we limit it to two or maybe one hour? what was your reason not to attend?
