Re: [Libreoffice-qa] North America Pub Chat

[Joel Madero]

Because it's a waste of time until we get enough people saying they are 
at least interested. I've done doodles before and it's only worth it 
when there is pre-commitment to the idea of having a meeting.

Joel

Hi,

I dont know if I can make it this Friday, but could you also
point out the time
in UTC too? For a continental european guest a time like
"12:00pm EST" is
ultimately confusing -- is that EST or 2400EST?


Sure, apologies for that :)

So for North America (or at least United States) we have:
PST (GMT - 7)
MDT (GMT -6)
CST (GMT - 5)
EST (GMT - 4)

Once I get a head count of who theoretically would be interested
if the time was right, we can start discussing what specific time
will work and I'll make sure to do the conversion to GMT :) As of
now it looks like 1200 (1900 GMT) on Friday isn't going to work as
there just doesn't seem to be availability/interest.

All the best,
Joel

Re: [Libreoffice-qa] North America Pub Chat

[Brenda Granados]

Hi,

I'm a resident lurker. I confirm a few bugs when I have extra time, and am
subscribed to the email list. I am okay with joining the chat. The 12:00 EST
would work okay with me - I could just take my lunch break with ya'll, and
probably snag someone else to join in.

But, I am okay with an evening time, too, like 7 or 8 EST.  Let me know!

Thanks,

Brenda

Re: [Libreoffice-qa] North America Pub Chat

[Joel Madero]

Definitely willing to move the time around. So maybe we need to first 
see who would theoretically like to make it and then we can discuss a 
specific time? I'm also a full time law student so my schedule is a 
bit...chaotic, but I'll do whatever I can to continue trying to build a 
solid North American base.


So, any other people who would be interested but the Friday afternoon 
time doesn't work?



Best,
Joel

Hi All,

So far I've gotten no interest in this at all (which is unfortunate). If 
I don't get at least a few responses by Wednesday I' going to call it 
off (as it's really just not worth it if we don't have minimum of 4 
preferably 5-6). It would be really nice to get a North American team 
consistently contributing as right now Europe dominates the contributor 
side and IMHO it looks bad for us in North America to be using the 
product but not contributing something in return as FLOSS software 
really depends on a community, a give and take relationship. Really 1 
hour a month is enough time to give back a bit.


All the best,
Joel

comes to mind.


Like always this chat is open to everyone, just the time is set up so 
that it's functional for us in North America to make without having to 
wake up at 5am.


If you're interested please respond letting me know so that I can get 
a head count. If it reaches 5, Robinson and I will work on a tentative 
agenda but I'd like this one to be more interactive than the last :)



All the Best,
