Hi @all!

Could all editors/translators please reply with their timezone and/or difference in hours to utc ?

Some small statistics to get timings worked out ;) .

If you have some time, drop in #opensuse-newsletter on irc.freenode.net . We'll meet today at 20:00 UTC [1] .

I think it is difficult for me in Indonesia :-). I'm in UTC+7. regards, medwinz -- George Carlin - "Weather forecast for tonight: dark." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org

Oops ! The timestamp of Jan-Simon's original mail was 01:36 AM in our localtime and I had gone to bed already. And, the IRC meeting started at 05:00 AM in our localtime when I was still asleep. :-( Can I read the transcript of the meeting anywhere ? I know it's very difficult to find the best meeting hours for *all* editors and translators, but I hope the announcement for the coming IRC meeting would be at least one day prior to the meeting date, so that I can set my alarm clock. ;-) Best, - -- _/_/_/ To be Happy! _/_/_/ _/_/ Satoru Matsumoto _/_/ _/ helios_reds@gmx.net _/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEUEARECAAYFAklW2XkACgkQXnHIfHE6+z3riwCSAzTZ9F1d6GIHawZH6CDa7hI9 DgCeP9zvDiLa3CWXTL8LL4KLrGnzUDw= =pFBW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org

Indeed. As a project, we have a bad habit of "announcing" meetings the day prior -- which is essentially in many cases a reminder email to back up what's on opensuse.org/Meetings (but AFAIK, the translator / weekly news meeting isn't listed there). Should we start putting this up on the meetings page?

We had no fixed time so far and met that day on irc inbetween 19h UTC and 22h UTC. But with the increasing number of crew members, the possibly new schedule (testing in progress), we should indeed find a fixed time. Thats why I asked for the timezones - if we're lucky we can find a timeslot which doesn't require alarm clocks ;) . To give a short overview - we have: UTC-4 UTC-2 UTC+1 UTC+3 UTC+7 UTC+9 So min/max is -4/+9 According to http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingtime.html?day=3&month=1&year=2009&p1=37&p2=45&p3=108&p4=232&p5=248&iv=0 there's a good window from 11:00 to 13:00 UTC. Lets take 12h UTC for next Saturday and #opensuse-newsletter @ irc.freenode.net then .
