> 1. It needs a fake calendar that is randomly populated with meetings.

While we're on this, can everyone please post their favorite ridiculous meeting title that is really real? I'll start with a recurring meeting series from last year that was called "mid-sprint calibration".

Ha, no. It should have been "Site visit-cum-lunch", i.e. a visit that is also a lunch, but someone didn't quite enter it correctly...

Now that "w/" is well understood there is no reason to ever use "cum", except maybe in phrases that are entirely Latin.
