I hope you're feeling better, Johannes!

Folks, I just realized we never really clarified the exact date, and
since we are in different timezones it can be ambiguous. How about
this:

PDT: Wed Oct 21, 5:00 PM
EDT: Wed Oct 21, 8:00 PM
Europe: Thu Oct 22, 2:00 AM
China: Thu Oct 22, 2:00 AM

Please let me know if folks are busy, sick etc. I'm flexible myself,
unless my flu shot fails me again :)

(Also starting from November, Vancouver, where I live, will have their
own timezone. We'd have to add another row to this).
