Hi Ed, pity you can't make it. I'm available either day, and happy to host if nobody else can.
What about the rest of the speakers? Ryan Verner, are you there? Scott Brewer is a coworker of mine, I am asking him privately. What about the community? Would anybody have a problem with attending MPUG on either the 2nd or the 3rd? Please answer this email with either: - I prefer the 2nd, Tuesday - I prefer the 3rd, Wednesday - I can't make it either day My vote: - I prefer the 3rd, Wednesday Regards, Javier On Wed, Oct 29, 2014 at 3:55 PM, Ed Schofield <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > Javier, thanks for raising this issue! > > I think moving the meeting to 2nd or 3rd December would be the cleanest > option.
