I'm sorry I couldn't attend today's meeting. My schedule changed a couple of 
months ago and it's very difficult for me to be home before 15 UTC. 

I cannot be there on Saturday, I have a previous arrangement I cannot 
postpone. Are you available on any other day after 15 UTC to meet with me? I 
can make a hole anytime but Saturday :(. 

I've been in contact with Vamsi almost daily for a long time, sometimes 
debugging his code for over 4 hours straight. But if you (or him) feel he 
needs more attention let me know and I'll be glad to step aside. 

I feel we need to start thinking about an IRC party (beer-drinking mandatory) 
after GSoC, to congratulate all of you and the students for the time put into 
this. And, why not, to blow off some of the steam built up with deadlines, 
evaluations, reviews and whatnot :).
