Discussion:

Hello,

There was overwhelming response that weekly IRC meetings are a good thing.

Thanks to the doodle site we were able to select a time slot that everyone (that voted) is available:

Thursday 19:00-20:00 UTC, every week, starting September 24 (next Thursday)

I created a shared Google Calendar here:
https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=MTFwcXZkZ3BkOTlubGliZjliYTg2MXZ1OHNAZ3JvdXAuY2FsZW5kYXIuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbQ

The timezone of this calendar is Reykyavik (Iceland) which is UTC+0. However, you can use the button on the lower right to add the calendar to your own calendar, which will then show the meeting in your own timezone.

See you then,

Wladimir

There could not be a worse timing than this for those in China (3-4am),
Japan/Korea (4-5am), and Australia (3-6am depends on which part of the
country). Maybe we have no dev in this part of the planet? Is there any
chance to review the timing in a weekly or monthly basis (also with a
doodle vote?)

Will there be any agenda published before the meetings? If I'm really
interested in the topics, I'll have some reasons to get up in the middle
of the night.

All,

Current meeting time visualised globally.

jl,

I think I found a good compromise: if the US want to accommodate Asia and
willing to sacrifice preference, 23:00 to 00:00 UTC might work.

It isn't easy to grab everyone's preference and accommodate everyone, so
this might work in theory but people may not be free to show up. US should
be ok. UK can participate or catch some nice z. Asia will need a bit of
early bird time but it's not as crazy as 3am. AU also fits in there nicely.

A meeting like this once a month should be enough probably (say, do this on
the first week of the month, and run every other week on the main
schedule). But I don't know whether there are enough people in Asia/AU to
make it worth it. Asia/AU people, thoughts?

That's suboptimal for Europe etc., starting at midnight in the UK, 1 AM in
CET, 2 AM in EET (an hour earlier once DST ends).
