In this case, it's not just you - the relationship between Fedora,
Fedora Playground, EPEL, COPR, CentOS, and softwarecollections.org is
currently not well-defined, and that was pretty clear from the
discussion in the WG meeting last night. That confusion was the main
trigger for the action to add a project page for SCLs - even if it's
all just questions without answers at the moment, at least we'll have
a shared understanding of what the current questions *are*, and be
able to start looking at who needs to answer them. Even with the
CentOS SIG becoming the official home of softwarecollections.org
(assuming I understand that part correctly), Env & Stacks will still
need to be involved in order to figure out how scl.o fits into Fedora,
Fedora Playground, EPEL, and COPR.

As far as meeting times go, +1 for alternating times between "suitable
for APAC" and "suitable for US West coast". We have a similar problem
with the PSF board meetings (US West coast, central US, Germany,
India, Australia) and it just doesn't work to try to get everyone to
every meeting.

Cheers,
Nick.
