"...couldn't be arsed to attend even one concom meeting."

On the other hand, I recall getting a Gchat from you saying you were stumping for me at a Penguicon meeting, and thinking "you know what also might have been great? Telling me there was a meeting so I could come and stump for myself."

Presumably, other volunteers entered through a different path and know where to find a schedule for meetings. But a little extra communication often goes a long way.
