| Hi everybody. What are the chances we can meet on July 30th or 31st? I need to be in Taipei by late evening on the 31st in order to make the Wikimedia advisory board meeting, which starts on the morning of Aug. 1st. But I am otherwise very flexible about timing on the 30th and 31st.

Hi all, the best time for me is going to be late July, early august. I have to be back in SF pretty quick after wikimania.
Is during the week okay? I'm also quite interested in meeting with businesses who are interested in using CC licensing. I would like to spend 1-2 days in Hong Kong to get CC-HK setup and then also setup some high level business meetings to present CC to public and privately to key businesses.
What dates seem the best? July 30, 31, August 1, 2 all are open, but I have to be in Tapei for wikimania AUG 2-5.
Cheers! Would it make sense to have one legal meetup to get the legal team squared away? And then, have a wider public meetup?

Dear Matthew and Jon,
Perhaps early August is better as Jon can join then. Can Jon confirm a date when he is in HK?
Best, Yahong

Dear Jon,
The important person is Yahong. I would like to pin down her diary first. I would be flexible to accomodate.
Dear Yahong,
Shall we go by July 15 as per suggested?
Regards,
Matthew
