Re: Starting the Traffic Event CG

Thank you Daniel!

Ok for the work plan. At first, we might target for 2 calls in a 2-3 weeks
period to set things up. Then we could plan for every month or every 2
months depending the timeline we fix for the CG.

I am in Montréal, (UTC-04)

Go for Doodle! I would target the week of Oct 21st since it usually takes a
couple days (at least) before people answer the Doodle.

In terms for teleconferencing, it depends how many people will be on the
line and the capabilities of everybody, but something like Google Hangout
or Skype (with video turned off) does a good job below 10 person (from my
experience). For a real teleconference, the issue will be the international
aspect: I might be able to set something up, but it will be an
international for people in Europe.
