Baby & Meeting

    Dear Friends,
    Just a short note to let y’all know that our son (Oscar) has been born
    last Friday-night with a Cesarian.
    We’re still recovering at the hospital and we’ll be coming home on Tuesday.
    I expect to be able to attend the meeting tomorrow-night from the
    hospital as the wifi is quite decent.
    (Y’all might even see the baby).
    If something medical or something comes up I won’t be there, we’ll see.
    As an aside, is there an agenda already?
    Cheers,
    Herman

    Yay! Congratulations to you and your wife, Herman!
    As Lou Reed said, “It’s the beginning of a great adventure.”
    I don’t know why you would be on the call, and we may miss our US colleagues because it will be an American holiday, but here is what I have for an agenda. It ain’t much, but all those available should call in and touch base. Did anyone do minutes last week?
    – If Herman is on, we should talk about the time he is going to take off and whether there are tasks that need to be transferred to others.
    – Posting Recommendations update-
    – Mailing list status
    – P5 update
    – Groups update
    – Web update status—vendor started? do we have a task list of objectives yet?
    – AOB
    cheers,
    -m.

    Hi all,
    While I am sure that the baby will take up random bits of my time etc. I
    was not planning on taking extra time off next to my one-day of
    paternity leave (which I guess was friday).
    For the rest I will just use holiday days as needed.
    I do expect to work much more diverse hours for a while 😉
    (working from home does have some perks).
    Cheers,
    Herman

    Congratulations Herman!! All the best for your son!
    Yes, I agree, enjoy the momments and you can join in an next call,
    unless you insist… 🙂 And I hope you “reserved” some sleep during the
    holidays as you may need some in the coming weeks!
    Cheers,
    Fotis
    PS: Mark, any news from Brian? (the accountant)
