I can coordinate the notices. Plus I believe that we can get things done
quickly if we treat them somewhat like Scrum stand-up meetings.

BTW, we might want to track a few things like conflicts, time
suggestions, etc. (I know that I missed one of the meetings due to
flying for work stuffs). Not that we'll want to play big brother or
anything, but by being aware of the common interruptions we can mitigate
their impact.

I think that having the meetings would be good, and the nice part about the reminder e-mail is that it gives people a chance to send regrets about conflicts. I'm sure Jon's situation is not unique, though I think I just forgot to put the last hackfest meeting on my calendar.
