OK, here's an idea, I just set up a meeting time poll on doodle.com:

Everybody who's every been or wanted to go to an Edubuntu Meeting
please go there and give you're preferred times. I think from that
information we can get a couple times/days that will be suitable for
the majority of users and spread across a reasonable amount of
timezones.

Regarding IRC in generall, while I think this mailing list has often
been under-utilized, real time communication does tend to make
decision making go significantly faster. It's also nice for weekly
status updates. I think a combination of finding a better time,
rotating the time so that people have a chance to participate even if
every other week, and utilizing the list better will significantly
improve both the level and speed at which the community communicates.
At least that's my dream :-)
