Problem/Motivation

The most recent meeting involved people across a wide range of timezones, creating some challenges for people who want to be involved.

Proposed resolution

Find a day and time that will accommodate the most people who want to continue to be part of the discussions about the future of this project. To balance the needs of people as far east as Germany and as far west as Washington State, I am inclined to propose 11:00am ET as a balance. I will also also suggest Mondays or Wednesday as better days for future meetings, with Wednesday as my preference because statutory holidays tend to fall mostly on Mondays. I'm open to suggestions for which week in the month the meetings should happen, but for the sake of having a concrete proposal we can discuss, I am proposing that future meetings would be:

Every month on the second Wednesday, at 11:00am ET

Discuss!

I agree on 11:00 ET (17:00 CEST) and on Wednesday. Mondays are usually quite busy.

for me it would be better to have it 1h 30min earlier, but don't count always on me :)

The tricky thing is that the last meeting included at least one person from a PST timezone, and moving the meeting 1h 30m earlier would make the meeting 6:30am for them. I'm happy to revisit the question of the timing, and we could also potentially look at alternating between early times (that would work better for EU folks) and late meetings (that would work better for Pacific / APJ folks)

We didn't have anyone from the later timezones on the last call, so we'll try having the next one at 9:30am EST, on Jan 8. Hopefully that won't be too early for the folks on CST.

Life is hard, but I'll eventually manage to show up for a meeting any weekday 10:30am ET or later :)
