Dietrich
- Successfully emailed all of moco + mofo accidentally.
- Created staff devrel calendar, and people are using it due to aforementioned organization-wide email:
- Gcal pro-tip: Individuals inherit group permissions. For example, give permissions on a calendar to devrel-team@ and everyone in that alias now individually has permissions. DANGER: It also emails everyone on the alias without warning you first.

- Receive a notification when someone sends you an invitation to an event.”.
