10 minutes late, no one on call

[Rex Brooks <rexb@starbourne.com>]

Hi Folks,

Like every Friday, today was one of the two or three days in this 
week (maybe) when I can actually concentrate on problem solving, (as 
it happens, I'm still struggling to get an EDXL-RM app together so 
that's what I was working on, but regardless that's no excuse), so I 
got into tunnel vision and blinked awake ten minutes late for the 
meeting and found that no one's on the call.

It's summer vacation season following right after the spring 
conference season, so its a tough time to get people together. 
However we have some important work to do and I know if I was Carl I 
would start asking myself whether anyone is interested enough to get 
to this work.

I'm sure everyone will be wondering why it didn't get done when we 
get started on CAP 2.0 and EDXL-DE 1.x or 2.0 and need geo-oasis to 
be ready to use, and we'll still be in the same position we were in 
with EDXL-HAVE and EDXL-RM.

Now I understand it is no one else's responsibility to get any of us 
to wake up and get connected in time for a meeting, and I suspect 
that if had gotten to the call on time we'd have had only two or 
three people on the call, but I would have been happy to push even 
one baby step further along the process.

This is not the most exciting work we do, but it is absolutely necessary.

I'll stay on the call till the top of the hour, if anyone wants to 
discuss the work.

Cheers,
Rex
