I'm willing to meet during or after hours, but the real problem, as you
said, is that people in Oz or other APAC are going to be hard pressed to
meet at anytime that's "after hours" for Europe.  The fact that IRC and
the list make it easy to follow up on the conversation mitigate that
problem quite a bit.

I'm open to changing the date, no problem.  The folks in Red Hat BNE who
need to be involved should let us know here if that's a problem for
them.  So, a new primary meet time could be:

Saturday, 10 May 2008, 0100 UTC/1100 Brisbane
= Friday, 09 May 2008, 2100 EDT/1800 PDT

Anyone?
