Meetings

Meetings used to be on #olpc-meeting at 1400 EST/EDT Fridays to review and referee the latest Contributors Program project proposals. We strive for consensus -- but meetings should be fast! For Europeans: 1400 EST = Brussels (Belgium) 20:00:00 CEST.

Anybody can join instantly at http://forum.laptop.org/chat if you then type the full command:
