There was a request 1-2 years back to have an internet calendar of some kind. Now that I have a google calendar synced phone it's not that big of a deal for...
... Could we get a little more notice for future meetings? This is the third meeting I won't be able to make it to because I didn't find out about the timing...

We're considering it at work, and I have a few basic questions that I haven't gotten answered on the official mailing list. Specifically: Is it reasonable to...
