Re: Changing Auto-WCAG meeting time?

It is unlikely that I will be attending at 9 pm (or even 8 pm). Except for the logistics of having to take a work call from home in the middle of family time, I have really bad experience with (at least my own) productivity in meetings that go beyond 9 pm.

I too like the idea of alternating between different meeting times.
We might be a smaller group now, but maybe more people would participate if the time fit them better. For people with a family here in Denmark, anything after 4 pm is usually too late.

If we are looking at moving the meeting time, I would also suggest looking at whether shorter, but more regular meetings might be preferable, e.g. 2x1 hour per month instead of one 1.5 hour meeting.

9pm is rather late for a meeting for Europe folk, even an hour earlier (UK) I wouldn’t be keen on the late finish: 22:30CET/21:30GMT.  I could probably manage something an hour earlier. How impossible is 6am Gian?

That said, I quite like Steins idea of alternating the meeting each month between 2 or 3 agreed times that are better for different parts of the world.

Hey everyone,
I've been asked to come up with a meeting time for Auto-WCAG that could also work for Australian participants. In talking about this, Gian suggested changing the time to 8pm UTC. That's:
- 12am pacific time (currently 7am),
- 3pm eastern time (currently 10am),
- 9pm CET (currently 4pm),
- 7am AET (currently 2am)

I think it's a good suggestion as it allows people who currently can't participate to join. I've heard from Gian that she would participate in a Monthly meeting. It's outside of work hours for the Europeans, which some may not be too keen on, but on the other hand it would also let us avoid the problem we have now, that often EU participants can't join because of regular work meetings.

Let me know what you all think!
