Scott: Could you please change the names of the calendar items from "Call <n>" to something like "EclipseCon PC Call <n>"? I have started to use Google calendar for tracking other calls as well, and this would make it easier to understand at a glance what the calls are about.
I will modify the remaining calendar items to have a 15 minute reminder with the call in details. Like Ed, I use lightning/thunderbird with the Google Provider and it works great. Also, I will have minutes out for Tuesday's meeting later today. I have been at another conference this week and am finally back at my desk and able to dig out from the mess. Scott Ed Merks wrote:
I think Google calendar allows you to set an entry so it produces a popup reminder; you can even control how many minutes ahead of time it pops up. I think such reminders are a good idea; I certainly set it for any calendar entries I create on my own calendar. Perhaps Scott would consider modifying the entries to include a notification. For folks who might not know about it, I use "Lightning" and "Provider for Google Calendar" add-ons for Thunderbird and it's really quite nice. Jeff McAffer wrote:
Perhaps Boris and I should cross notify each other to ensure we don't miss the next meeting. My sincere apologies. Jeff Boris Bokowski wrote:
