I'm new here, I would like to know when the next IRC Marketing meeting is scheduled ?

We don't have one scheduled at the moment, but probably should. Part of the problem is finding a suitable time for all the folks who participate as we have people who are in Germany, Japan, and various time zones in the U.S. We've been doing most of the discussion via the mailing list. But it's probably time to set up at least a monthly time. Two Qs: is a week day or weekend day better? And what times? If you'd like to attend, mark the best times here: http://whenisgood.net/cXj38B Thanks!

Most of the marketing team members, including Ambassadors, are volunteers and have their own school or jobs on weekday morning/afternoon, therefore it's very difficult to find a suitable time for all on weekday. So, I think it's better if we can have a meeting on Saturday and, the BETTER time would be 15:00-16:00 or 16:00-17:00 UTC.
