[BLU/Officers] Next meeting

[John Abreau]

Hi, Federico.

We're hoping to evaluate both BlueJeans and StreamYard in order to compare
them to Jitsi. Do you think we could use your BlueJeans account to test out
its capabilities?

We have you in the BLU calendar for June 17 with the topic "How Many Ways
Can You Fail? A Taxonomy of Corporate (in)Decision". Are you still
available to give a talk that evening? Perhaps we could use your BlueJeans
account for that meeting.
