Just my $.02. Personally, I think the only reason for cancellation
should be lack of a meeting room. If there is no speaker, we should
publish that fact as early as possible, but many of us like to
socialize and discuss Linux topics even if the speaker has bailed out.
That would also be more courteous to those who have not seen the
announcement(s).
