Forum OpenACS Q&A: Could we do the weekly OpenACS chats a few hours earlier?

Just a quick check ... if I'm the only one having problems with the current time, ignore.

If I am to have a shot at participating on any kind of regularity (I haven't been able to get to the meeting at all yet), it would have to be either:

- On Wednesday nights, or
- 3 hours earlier, at 5 PM GMT (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?day=20&month=2&year=2003&hour=17&min=0&sec=0&p1=0)

Of course, the latter would make it pretty impossible for people in Australia to participate (3-4 AM).

Anyway, just let me know if this is impossible. I know how hard it is to come up with a time slot that fits everybody's timezones and schedules, in the first place.

Hi,

That would be better for me, but I doubt if there is anyone else in my timezone that would like to be in the chats.  Last night was my first one, although I had very little neurons working.  While I am migrating a ton of data, I visited.  I was 1 hour too early.  People came in, I tried to follow.  My PC hang since I lost all memory and cpu due to the migration.  I came back, Danielle came... everybody scrammed.  But pretty much anything before Danielle was a bit fuzzy. :)

Just in case people were not aware, the chat time was selected to be adjacent to the AOLserver chat time.  If we move it earlier we should move it to be prior to the AOLserver chat (currently 1900 UTC).  However there is some logic in meeting after the AOLserver chat gets done.
Jun,

and others who might lose their connection to the IRC chat, you can always read a transcript of the conversation at https://openacs.org/irc/log/.
