Conference call timing(s), Euro meeting(s)

Hi,

I actually have the same problem. Therefore I lobby for having these conf. calls at 10 PST instead.
 

I take it that today's meeting is still at 8.00am PST? I will not be able to attend if it starts at 10.00am on the West Coast.

If we are going to move the time of future calls can we move it to 9.00am on the West Coast? This is 5.00pm in the UK, and 6.00pm MEZ. This seems like a reasonable compromise. Otherwise everyone in Europe is solidly in the evening for every call, and the Berlin contingent are waiting till 7.00pm just to start (i.e. we have moved the metaphorical or actual kids from breakfast to bedtime).

Two other proposals. There is a move to alter the date of the European FTF meeting to June or July. We would be happy to host a meeting in London either in April or June, but July is more problematic. (Incidentally HP Arjuna Lab have very kindly agreed to co-sponsor the London meeting with us.)

The other proposal may dovetail with the timing of a European meeting. There are at least three companies (HP, Shinka and Choreology) whose representatives on this committee are located in Europe. If the main meeting in Europe is late on in the process I think it will potentially limit the contributions of the European participants in the formative stages. Therefore, if the Euro FTF is in the summer, we'd like to organize a meeting on points 3 & 4 (where all three are heavily involved) over here somewhere, clearly open to anyone on the TC who would like to attend. Is there any objection to that?
