I have discovered a way to coordinate online meetings of the Lojban
community around our busy schedules. It has three simple steps.

1. Follow http://www.meetomatic.com/respond.asp?id=M5D1FG to a page
where you can select the AMs and PMs (eastern standard time) that work
for you, from a date range I have set of November 1 through November
17. There's nothing to download, and there's no registration or login!

2. The site has assigned me a page on which I monitor the progress
until enough of you have declared your available days and nights.

3. I announce the date that won the most votes. We'll hold a
simultaneous Town Hall meeting of Lojban enthusiasts on Teamspeak and
IRC.

I schedule a _lot_ of meetings, for a variety of conventions, parties,
and organizations I'm a part of. In the past, I would guess at a date
to schedule them, and only a handful would be able to show up. "If
only a piece of web software would help me figure out when to schedule
meetings for the maximum availability of those I invite!" I knew there
had to be something like Meet-O-Matic out there, and I kept searching
until I found it. I predict we'll use it a lot, for Teamspeak, IRC,
samxarmuj, and offline local meetings.
