Presence and IntComm WG

["Callahan, Tim" <>]

I don't think we'll be ready before two weeks, so please do reach out to them 
at FOSDEM.  We could have them on any of our regular calls- perhaps Feb 16, 
March 1st or 15th(4 Eastern)? If that doesn't work for them, we could setup a 
special call when most of our folks are available.

When would you like to chat with the BuddyCloud folks? I'll be seeing them
in two weeks at FOSDEM in Brussels, but I could reach out before then if
desired.
