+1 here too as it makes planning totally difficult for any contributor (as gilir said and on a personal note I would take time off during May and November to plan down on my views that I thought to say during the uds. Secondly, The timezone in which this uds is planned for just puts me virtually out of participation on the sessions I intend to attend as it will be at the stroke of midnight at the place where I live (and holds good for most of the eastern parts I guess) and waking up coming back from work would be difficult. Thirdly, contributors (like myself) can be living in some places where internet connectivity would be not that great to support HD video streaming and can cause distortion when trying to speak. Finally, By this, the human touch to ubuntu community will drop further a bit as I think ubuntu community has been a great community for the social touch it provides (although doing an online UDS is beneficial from the commercial and the time perspective but can create a dent in the social aspect of the community).
