In principle, as someone on the East Coast. I will not show up for a meeting that might end past 5pm Eastern Time on a Friday. I¹m not sure if someone from our team plans to attend, but there can easily be others on the East Coast as well. The BlackBerry team is in/around Toronto, and Bryan might want to join. Some of Mozilla¹s mobile team is in Toronto tooŠ I¹m not sure who Brian found. Generally, meetings that might involve timezones should include a Doodle poll. Andrew Grieve used Doodle on April 15, 2014 for Re: Proposal for cli and plugman code rearrangement http://doodle.com/uvyr9454pvepz3a3 Best practices for a truly global team involve avoiding scheduling meetings that end after 5PM Eastern European time on Fridays to accommodate people around the world who might have some form of life or religious obligations. This roughly translates to not doing meetings on Fridays unless they¹re really early on the West Coast (around 7am). In the case of Cordova, we don¹t seem to have anyone in Europe, so you can relax the time zone constraint from Eastern Europe to Eastern (that buys you about 7 hours), but it still means a hard cut off in general of 2pm Pacific and some not particularly great hour in China. You¹re usually better served aiming for a night owl in China (1am) which is 1pm Eastern, and 10am Pacific.
