For one, the delay could be extended to one week if that
makes sense to all.<br>
<br>
For two, without a clear answer (ie. I will [will not]
participate in<br>
the meeting) from each of the participants it should be
assumed that<br>
they didn’t get the announcement and thus we should try
contacting<br>
them by other means, like a direct email to each one’s
address and not<br>
a general call on a mailing list. If that won’t do the
trick, SMS or<br>
direct phone call can also be means to reach everyone.<br>

<div style="">I wouldn't feel happy having to contact each
one through mail or any personalized way since I know
nobody will call to Venezuela to let me know about a
meeting :)</div>

If everyone agree, we should put those simple rules on our
organisation page.<br>

<div style="">Some simple rules pre-event could be easily
followed so everyone is aware of everything. Probably just
setting up a 3 reminder mail to the list and through
Twitter/Facebook/$Random could be great (10 days before, 5
days before, 1 day before)</div>

an sms / phonecall looks a bit overkill to me, too. (even if
nowadays most people in here have free -- or very cheap --
international SMS).<br>
<br>
but i would welcome it, if for each meeting and deadline there was a
proper announce on this ML.<br>
<br>
i would suggest that each time an action from all (or most) people
on this list is needed, the person taking care of its organization
should start a new thread (new subject, not a reply) specific to
that action and not assume that people passively following (or
ignoring) an existing discussion will notice it!<br>
<br>
about knowing who is aware: having everybody replying to this list
will probably produce too much noise (and is hard to check who has
answered!). but the person making the "call", could create a pad,
with the list of the persons expected to attend (i.e. by taking the
list of subscribers or copy pasting an older list in a pad). this
pad can be further used for the action/decision/meeting.<br>
<br>
a notice four day in advance is mostly fine (the first meeting has
been announced one or two days in advance, during bank holidays in
several/some european countries! the second one has -- as far as i
can tell -- not been "properly" announced on this list). one week
delay would IMO be a good target if we can make exceptions. a few
choices for the date and time could also help to find a fitting
slot, if there is enough time left before the meeting.<br>
<br>
finally, multiplying the communication channels (twitter, facebook,
g+, ...) is probably not going to make things easier to follow...
but for a reminder: why not?<br>
