Hi All,
Dave, it is good to hear from you again.
Drew and I agreed on Wednesday that it would be great if Dave and Jean could join the biweekly meetings. We are both in US eastern time (EDT) and flexible about the meeting time. Olivier in Rio is one hour ahead of us.
My understanding is that Dave is 5 hours ahead of us in the UK and Jean is 14 hours ahead of us in Queensland.
We could certainly meet earlier to accommodate Dave. So, the question is how early we, in the Americas, could start and how late Jean would be willing to stay up. If, for example, we started at 07:00 or 7:30 EDT that would be 21:00 or 21:30 for Jean. I am hardly a morning person but would be willing to do what I can to include others. However, that may be getting too late for Jean.
Also, it might be that whatever time we meet will preclude others from joining us. In that case, we could think about alternating meeting times.
It may be that the time zone difference is too great but think it worthwhile to at least see if we can work something out.
Jean? Olivier? Drew? Other there others on this mailing list who would join if the meeting time were more convenient for them?
Cathy
