+
+Right. I don't want to offend anyone or sound negative, but I do think
+it's indeed important to not have one distribution being
+over-represented during the meeting, so I'd prefer to avoid having other
+Mageia people joining -- unless there's a really really good reason for
+someone to join.
+
+That being said, if you have the opportunity to drop by in the evening,
+I'm sure something can be arranged for dinner.
+
+Sorry :/
