[Ambassadors] The Future of release names

[Jaroslav Reznik]

Well, 
the first week in Doodle was too fast for many people but looking
on Doodle results - Friday 15th 5 PM UTC (1 PM EDT, 7 PM CEST) should
work for all interested people and gives us some time to propagate/
announce it.

Is it still ok for you?
