I can't completely agree with Hubuntu / VidA : this first meeting is one of the most important. We have to gather the maximum of our contributors if we want it to be representative. I agree we are wasting time in trying to find a perfect time which doesn't exist, but trying to find "the less wor

This one is great : easy and fast to use : perfect ! Thanks Simon ! I added my times. It may look a bit weird, but I could arrange for those times, hardly for anything else. Regards, Jonathan > Hi all, > > This here may help you choose a date and time that suits best. > http://doodle.ch/partic

About timezone, I'm from France and leaving in the UK for 2 more weeks. So I'm GMT +1 till the 10th of June, and GMT+2 after that. Using IRC isn't a problem. About the leadership of the team, yes we need to set one up, and we need to do it fast. I sadly don't have much time to give to the team
