Well, I don't think they necessarily need to make allowances, but yes,
that would certainly be nice.  In any case, not sure who all will
chime in before the meeting, but I'm in favor of canceling.  That
said, it's not a ton of notice, and I can't make an executive call
here, since being chair doesn't give me such powers.

I think for now we should say the meeting is on, but it won't be
heavily attended.  I'm pretty sure I won't make it, and neither will
Pat.  Obviously the meeting will effectively get canceled if John or
another Hack Pittsburgh member does not make it to the meeting in
order to open the doors.

In any case, at the next board meeting I think we need to discuss a
cut-off time to cancel a meeting and who can make the call on whether
to cancel or not in the case where not all of the board members are
able to voice their opinion.
