[Vorbis-dev] monthly meeting?

[Ivo Emanuel Gonçalves]

Well, that covers the topic I was concerned about.

Sorry, Ian.  I think we'll skip this month's meeting.  You should try
assemble a metadata meeting for the metadata people in case you guys
believe it will help shape better the different standards.  Otherwise,
I'd say the mailing list has worked well so far.

If there'll be such meeting -- #xiph-meet is there for a reason --
don't forget to log the chat and post the log somewhere where people
can read it.
