[EM] The first (only?) Electorama call: December 17

[Rob Lanphier]

Hi Robert,

I may send out another reminder the day before, but I'd like to assume that
most members of this mailing list know how to use calendar apps, and you'll
note that I put the word "reluctantly" in my last email message.  I'm
babysitting a lot of public forums, and I'm spread pretty thin for the
amount of money I'm being paid for said babysitting.  I enjoy the video
calls I host (and attend), but in many ways, I'm hoping a different host
steps up.  There was substantial digital arm-twisting involved in the setup
of the December 17 meeting.

I'll assume that this message is your way of RSVP'ing, and I'll put you on
the December 17 GCal invite list, as I intend to do with everyone else who
RSVPs.  GCal makes it very simple to set whatever email/popup alerts you
want so that you'll get emails at whatever interval you want them at.  I
THINK I've turned off the ability for attendees to see other attendees'
email addresses, but please let me know if I misconfigured that.

TIA
Rob
