Great idea! And as discussed on tails@??? we'll do that.

Now, I feel a bit scared and lazy about encoding this into a cron job
scheduling, though it might not be complicated for someone more skilled
than me at scripting.

So far I have in my crontab:

0 0 24 * *    DATE=$(date --date="$(date '+\%Y-\%m-03 +1 month')" +\%F) ;
ruby $HOME/meeting/meeting.rb --locale en_US.UTF-8 --template
$HOME/monthly-meeting.eml --date $DATE --subject "Tails contributors
meeting: $(date --date=$DATE '+\%A \%B \%d')" --from
sajolida@??? --to "tails-dev@??? tails-project@???
tails-ux@??? tails-l10n@???"


Anybody feel like helping me calculate $DATE with this new logic?
