Thanks for your replies so far. Would one of these meetings work at maybe
4PM UTC, which is 5PM Central-Europe (6PM for me), 8PM India and 12PM
Japan? This is unworkable for US people, so maybe a separate timeframe for
EU-US.
There could also be an Ambassador or Participation-related aspect to L10n,
which I see is not yet being pushed in the Fedora communities. Translation
is also a lower barrier to entry and can be a tool for onboarding people
and getting them to have an impact directly and visibly.

Hello,
No problems for me to try a new schedule to see if there is more
contributors.
Do you have an idea of specific EMEA subjects or subjects you would like
to discuss about and can't at the moment ?
"mass email people who contributed on Zanata" can be a good idea to
annonce a particular test day, but I'm not sure about doing that for an IRC
meeting.
Sincerely,
