Re: Telcon Schedule.... logistics

I updated the Linked Life (BioRDF / LODD) and Terminology telcons.
This list should now get the 1 day and 1 hour reminders for those
calls. I noticed that someone had done something with Pharmacogenomics
(someone answered yes to "Send invitation to guests?") which required
permission to archive the messages on W3C websites and gave
permission.

A few other telcons remain for updating. The embedded calendar on the
wiki would also be nice.

Cheers,
Scott
