This problem has to have been solved before. Anyone know how multinational companies deal with meetings? Also, Soren, to be fair, I'm don't believe I've heard anyone propose a meeting that wasn't on ~utc-7 business time, yourself included. Maybe there should be some give and take here? Perhaps this

Weekly status emails sent to whom? I think it could be a good idea but my worry is that while the mailing list is efficient in terms of information per second, it's an inefficient place for coordinating. Solve this and I'm on board. On Thu, Dec 8, 2011 at 7:26 AM, Soren Hansen wrote: > 2011/12/8
