Since it is hard to find one time that works for everyone, one idea was to meet alternately at two different times, like the MOTU team does - at 0 UTC and 12 UTC on alternate weeks. There is a meeting planner at http://timeanddate.com/worldclock/meeting.html which can show multiple timezones across the page, with red indicating when each time zone is typically asleep. If you pick a city on the list there for which the red zone matches your least-available times, and post the city name here, we can try to pick times that work for the most people. E.g. I'm in Boulder, and the red zone associated with "Denver" matches my sleep pattern pretty well. Denver is indicated by "p1=75" in this URL, and others can be added in as p2, p3 or p4: http://timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingtime.html?month=9&day=25&year=2007&p1=75&p2=-1&p3=-1&p4=-1 Now we just need a mashup of launchpad (which knows the timezone for each team member) and timeanddate.... Unfortunately the xml/foaf output from Launchpad doesn't include the timezone: https://edge.launchpad.net/~nealmcb/+rdf so it seems to require parsing the html, which is a moving target.
