Why not do a doodle it will make things easy for you to determine day and
time.

 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

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.



Best,
Joel

Re: [Libreoffice-qa] North America Pub Chat

2013-10-07 Thread 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

Re: [Libreoffice-qa] North America Pub Chat

2013-10-07 Thread 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
