[Iswg3906.organizers] Meeting this week

[Jessica Foran]

Hi all,

Could we arrange to meet this week? The first GMM of September is next
Monday (the 23rd). This is the meeting where the working groups need to be
re-proposed for the upcoming year.

This would also give us a chance to deal with the donation requests. Given
the various things happening is people's lives right now it might also make
sense to check back in about capacity for the next few months, as well as
the status of the workshop series.

What do others think?

It seemed like Friday was a viable option last week so I'm going to suggest
1pm again at a downtown location--Ola?? Unfortunately on Friday I won't be
able to offer our place as a meeting spot.
