[Adium-devl] Meeting on April 5th

[Chris Forsythe]

Well ya, you're available at 7 am PDT, which is 10 am on the other  
coast and 9 am my time. Ya, I'll be working. Others will be in  
school. This is not a viable time frame. Is there any reason you  
wanted to do this in the morning? I'm not really seeing any sort of  
advantage here based on the time requirements of everyone in this group.

Very few people in this area call it CDT when the time switches.  
Forces of habit.

Times are always going to suck unless we eat into the weekends. Last  
time I suggested we do this on the weekend time though, nobody really  
sounded that thrilled about that prospect.  So I am choosing a later  
time period to give those on the west coast who work later and have  
long commutes to get home and settle for a small amount of time. I'm  
not sure why you feel that 6 pm your time is very late. I an see  
bumping it back an hour, but then that makes it harder for those on  
the west coast to make it into the meeting.

I'm not really a fan of these meetings in general due to the fact  
that we're all pretty spread out. We have people internationally that  
I'd really like to involve in the project in the same way that we  
involve folks in the states, and these meetings demoralize those  
folks for whom we're basically saying "oh, no weekends, and we can't  
work around your schedule either". We do really well fleshing out  
topics on the mailing list, which allows us to get everyone involved,  
and input from everyone. Plus I have to schedule these 3-4 weeks in  
advance to give those with hectic schedules the chance to make  
arrangements. When it comes down to it, we're basically just sending  
the wrong message out, but with good intentions. If you can come up  
with a way to get around this Colin I'd be much happier with these  
meetings, otherwise a weekend meeting may end up making a lot more  
sense.

In fact, you just sent another email expressing concerns about the  
time. This seems really important to you if you've done that. Please  
come up with a plan for rectifying this situation Colin, since it  
seems like this is something you're very concerned about. I believe  
most of our Australian folks are in Melbourne/Sydney/Canberra, and I  
believe the furthest east from the States you have to go is where  
Ofri is located. Please delegate tasks as appropriate to resolve this  
issue, it's pretty important if we're going to continue with these  
meetings.
