I was wondering if there is anyway we could standardize the meeting time? I wonder if staggering it has lead to more people who would actually attend not being able to attend (due to confusion over what time it is this week or other obligations).
I would love to standardize the meeting time, but the last few times I brought this up, it was voted down due to too many timezone differences.
Maybe we can split the difference and just have it at 21:00 UTC every week, instead of alternating between 20:00 and 22:00?
IIRC, that would knock out both groups of people who were served by the split time. I recall transit between locations being a primary situation.
This is a perennial problem, with each group beating on it every time they want to set a meeting. I'm wondering what else we can try or offer in the pool if ideas?
* Meet twice a week at two different times (and days), then synthesize the meetings via mailing list.
* Have one meeting that goes extra long (we tried this in Docs to a limited success.)
* Introduce voice so that people who are in transit without Internet can call in and participate.
