I'm finding a negative correlation with the number of full professors present and the likelihood that a meeting will actually take place without being moved at least once.

This negative correlation is exacerbated wildly if a dean is to be present.

(disclaimer: I do realize everyone is doing what they can. This is about too many meetings at all levels of academia.)

Love it when problems solve themselves.

I was trying to figure out how to teleport in order to fit in a meeting with many busy people, that could only be at that one specific time which is inconvenient but not impossible for me so I said "yes".... and now the meeting has been moved to a time *much* easier for me.

Everyone at work who gets double or triple booked in meetings needs this. https://www.businessinsider.com/google-duet-ai-attend-meetings-workplace-productivity-2023-8 #toomanymeetings

Indico has been instrumental in the Higgs boson discovery. And I do not even want to imagine the number of flights it saved because of facilitating efficient and remote meetings, years before the pandemic. Congrats

Sometimes I feel like spending half of my worktime filling "doodles"...Time for a standard interface/API for doodle-derivates... Who's up for it, is there anything like that in the queue? (and FWIW, if people weekly introduce/use new doodle-derivates, my email-filterrules can't catch up and I *will* overlook them) #doodle #unproductivity #toomanymeetings ;-)

Four meetings down - another two to go - how did we manage before we had reliable online video conferencing :)
