I've only received 3-4 emails, so I'm thinking either people don't want, don't feel they can contribute, or can't. It seems Monday 19:00 - 20:00 UTC is a good time: http://timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=1&day=24&year... Possibly a bit earlier for those who can. I'm unavailable at this time, so have fun. I doubt I'll try to organise another session in this manner. Anyone have any ideas how to do it? Set up regular ones instead?
Olegil (and company)-
For starters, I'm pretty time-slammed for at least the next week yet, not to mention the seeming never-ending slide as to when EyeTech actually gets 'my' uA1 out the door to my dealer, which isn't helping matters much at all :-(
I'd _really_ like to be able to attend, but even with more free time on my hands, there is flat out no way I'm ever able to attend during normal core work hours, the exception being the occasional days I'm working from home, but even then it's difficult, as work entails many IMs, some conference calls, etc throughout the normal work day. I'm amazed so many seem to be able to somehow manage these meetings on a Monday of all days, unless it's due to the time difference, or perhaps not currently working, or simply have 'better' bosses than I! :-)
I can pretty much make any meeting that is Friday evening post 6pm (US, EST) until Sunday night midnight. Any other times would need to be somewhere between 7pm and 1am or so.
The site timeanddate.com does NOT seem to be the easiest to find the conversion I'm looking for (ie enter in several times and get UTC back), but it appears EST is 7 hours behind UTC ( http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingtime.html?month=1&day=23&am... ), although ironically here ( http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=179 ) it claims UTC/GMT - 5 , so I'm now fairly good and confused, and will let someone else do the conversions for me ;-)
Monday UTC 19:00 falls right at 2pm in the middle of my day Monday, I believe exactly the same time as the original/last meeting did.
Anyways, I certainly don't expect to see the meeting schedule changed on my account, but wanted to give some sort of update. Hopefully, once my uA1 arrives and work schedule eases off, I'll be able to contribute to the project, although it will remain unlikely I'll ever be able to attend IRC meetings with the current schedules.
Thanks,
Scott
