Re: New Telcon Time: Vote!

It's somewhat difficult to interpret the results because it's assuming
two conference per week, but I think I got it.  Looks like the best
times so far based on the first few options are:

- Monday, 8:30AM CST (9:30AM EST)
- Monday, 11:00AM CST (noon EST)

I'm not sure who goldmansax is - but they haven't entered any
non-impossible times yet.

Also, I'm worried that 8:30 AM CST = 6:30 AM PST so we wouldn't have
West Coast participation.

What do people think about Monday at 11AM CST for the next conference
call.  aka 1 week and 1 hour from now.

Regards,
Jeff
