6:50 PM
<rosalie> Rosalie I am thinking of automating the mails as it feel like I am doing work a robot should do. haha
6:50 PM
<tybanash> Awah Nadege Can't see the links , I just joined
6:50 PM
<rosalie> Rosalie I am bringing it up here to have points of views. if no objection, I will conclude an agreement

<rosalie> Rosalie Again that is one example but I will be updating both at meeting and on the mailing list on the changes coming ahead
6:53 PM brendajerop: Thank you for sharing the link to the logs. Please note The logs are availabe only once the meeting is over, as I update them after meetings
6:53 PM
<brendajerop> rosalie: I think that's a great idea. Is there a specific time of the month when the monthly meetings occur?
6:53 PM
<rosalie> Rosalie So far any question?
6:54 PM brendajerop: Yes, second friday of every month
6:54 PM and the content of the mails are pretty almost always the same
6:55 PM automating it will make it possible for the mails to go out even when I am sick or unable to sent the mail
6:56 PM with that, I will move to the next point on Agenda.

6:58 PM
<rosalie> Rosalie If you ask a question we can't answer now due to time, We could keep it for next meeting and address it as an agenda point. Or better still I collect the questions and send out drafted replies on mailing list while waiting for next meeting to make it more lively.
7:01 PM If there is no question, still ok.
