Willy-Peter Schaub's Cave of Chamomile Simplicity

Why do people show no respect for RSVPs?

Yesterday we hosted the third monthly saArchitect community event focused on “Microsoft Enterprise Libraries, a worthwhile open source initiative?”, for which both Peter and Ernst spend a lot of time and effort preparing. Based on the 51 RSVPs received Tina from Microsoft made arrangements for facilities and refreshments. So where does this thread lead ...?

We had 18 people showing up ... 33 missing in action, with only 1 appology.

While I thoroughly enjoyed the session I wondered whether there is something rotten in the state of  the “saArchitect” community. Surely one either shows up or sends an appology once confirming (RSVP) attendance for a session?

Anyway, thanks Tina for the facilities and thanks Peter and ERnst for an excellent session. The 33 missing in action have no idea what they missed.
