New meeting time

[Axel Thimm]

Hi,

all 7 participants of today's IRC session would agree to Tue, 17:00
UTC + DST fixes.

It's two days before fesco which will make some easier information
passing and evaluation.

The remaining three are Ralf, Jose and David. Is it OK with you?

Yes, that works for me.

Well, sorry, unfortunately, to me, this is a regression.

As I wrote before, this time slot is 19:00-20:00 local time (CEST) and
overlaps with dinner-time. I.e. for it is very likely for me not being
able to attend/having to quit early/being late on meetings.

Whereas the current meeting time is lunch time for the East coast of the
United States and has been the cause of me not making some meetings or
leaving early.

Ralf, could you put your name to some times that are good for you?
There are several other times that could work for me and I'm sure
everyone else could find a few other times as well.  But without having
a list of some possible times, we won't know if there's any one time
that'll work for everyone or not.

Thanks,
Toshio

The day doesn't matter much to me, but almost any time-slot out of the
22:00-04:00 UTC (night-time, but I am used to getting up early :)) and
the 17:00-19:00 UTC (dinner-time [1]) time slots would be equally fine
with me.

The old time-slot had not been optimal (European office hours
preferred), but it had been an acceptable and reasonable compromise to
me which would have worked almost always for me. The new is worse, but
not "totally undoable". I am willing to swallow it, but ... I am sure,
it won't work for me in many cases.

Let's hope for that.
