I'm just curious, is the meeting for only Americans? In my time (living in Sweden) 2300UTC would correspond to 0100 here (GMT+2). Sweden is not alone as you now. People from German, Great Brittain, France and several other places in Europe/Asia will have a hard time attending.

Wouldn't it be better if we all sacrificed a weekend or something? I don't know about my fellow Europeans but I like to be in bed around midnight. Fortunately (or should I say unfortunately) for me I'm currently unemployed, for those who aren't they are going to want their beauty sleep I believe.

I really hope that my time convertion is wrong cause I can't understand it.

Your conversion is right. There are no meeting times that are convenient for
*everyone* which is why meeting times vary. It's also why a poll is sent out
before each meeting for people to vote on when would be good times.

23:00 UTC is still pretty early for people in North America,
especially if they have jobs, can't IRC from work, have families to
pick up from school/cook for, or don't live on the east coast. The
time isn't better one way or another inconveniences are just
different. I think staying up late is easier than getting out of work
early.

Well, that is too late for me, GMT +1 and I have two tests coming up tomorrow
so I would not show up even at 20 UTC probably. As mentioned earlier, it is
very hard to pick a time that suits all of us

Which is also why they are held publicly on IRC, so that if you cannot attend,
then you can still review the discussion the next day and bring forward and
concerns or items that were missed.

Also, if you know ahead of time that you cannot attend, it is often beneficial
to send in your items and thoughts (assuming there is an agenda of items
presented) via another member or put them up on the meeting wiki page to
ensure they get addressed.

I hope this helps. It is really difficult to have a "one size fits all" when it
comes to world wide meetings. Best we can do is put up a poll, and hope the
majority who need to be available can squeeze in a time that works.

I for one have had to miss a couple of recent ones, and I am in the NA tz, but
work got in the way.

Cheers,

Rod.
