Future direction of Ubuntu Documentation/Meeting times

[Robert Stoffers]

Thought was given to people of different time zones, this is a two way
thing however. I'm not suggesting the times have to change, just the day
is enough. I myself am in +10, which makes 1400UTC midnight Thursday and
2200UTC 8am Friday. The problem with this is that people (such as
myself) have to work on Friday day, changing the meeting to Friday would
ensure everyone who needs to can sleep on Saturday.
