Invite about 30 people on the waiting list one week before the meetup

[HerrBertling]

Da viel Bewegung in den Tagen vor dem Meetup auf der Teilnehmerliste war, sollten wir ca. eine Woche vor dem Event die ungefähr 30 ersten Nachrücker per Mail informieren, dass sie gern auch vorbeikommen können, falls sie es nicht auf die Liste schaffen. Grund: No-Show-Rate wird erfahrungsgemäß hoch genug sein.

We decided to have all our issues in English so anyone can understand them.

Translation:

Because there was much movement on the attendee and waiting list before the meetup took place, we should inform about 30 people on the waiting list one week before the event that they can join the event no matter they are on the waiting list or not. Reason for that: History shows that the No-Show-Rate will be high enough to do this.
