[Gluster-users] Proposal: Changes in Gluster Community meetings

Tue Apr 23 15:16:25 UTC 2019

I was one of the folk who wanted a NA/EMEA scheduled meeting, and I’m going to have to miss it due to some real life issues (clogged sewer I’m going to have to be dealing with at the time). Apologies, I’ll work on  making the next one.
