In the case of the Spanish team (I have 1 translator and probably
another 1 will join), we're living in America, so our times zones are
between UTC -8 and UTC -4, so for us 14:30 UTC is early, specially
because is Saturday After Party, we're Latinos after all, probably a
later hour will be best, here in Mexico 14:30UTC is 8:30am (UTC -6),
that's why I can not attend to meetings.
For me, meetings from 16:00 UTC to the end of the day are good.
Answers:
1. Yes
2. Probably a better design will attract more people, the actual is
good, but we may make it better.
3. As I said, meeting at a later hour will be better for me, or using
other tools is also a good idea.
For now is all I can thinks about it's 3:20am here (9:20am UTC), so I
have to go.
Greetings.

As you may know, Weekly News Team is organizing biweekly regular IRC meetings on the #opensuse-newsletter channel on Freenode alternate Saturdays 14:30 UTC. However, we couldn't start the meetings for the last several months, because only few people were on the channel at that time - most of the time there were only Sascha and me. :-(
I know most of the team members are too busy with their own works to attend the meetings and the time for the meeting may not be so convenient for everyone. If members were willing to join the meeting but happened to be busy at that time, that's not the problem. What I am afraid of is, lack of interest.
So, if you think you are a part of the Weekly News Team or want to be, I'd like to ask you:
1) Are you satisfied and having fun with editing/translating Weekly News? In case the answer is not "Yes", please tell us the reason, if you can point out.
2) Do you have any good ideas, proposals and opinions to make Weekly News much more interesting and attractive both for readers and editors/translators? "It would be interesting at least for me, if we ..." is considered a good answer. ;-)
3) Is the meeting time - 14:30 UTC alternate Saturdays - convenient for you? Over 1 year has passed since we fixed the time, it might be good chance to reconsider the better time for meetings. Or, if you think we had better discuss topics on another channel such as mailinglist, forum, Google Wave, etc., which is unaffected by time, please tell us your recommendation.
There might be some opinions like "We should ..." and "We have to ...", but I would rather talk with you about how we can enjoy our work on Weekly News and provide more interesting and useful newsletters to our readers. To make things better and more interesting, we always need your help. ;-)
