I covered a 13 hour time span over four days including week end and week
days, I don't think that is excluding anyone from participating in this
specific meeting. I can also add additional times. If someone can't make
any of those 12 x 4 = 36 time slots but really wants to participate,
please get in touch and I'll add it to the list!

I noticed you haven't filled in your preferred time, Matthew. Is there a
time you would like me to add?

Not according to the Doodle. Friday and Monday is more popular than the
weekend. (Of course this is currently biased to those who are in North
America and do check their docs-team mail during the day.) And no, you
can't just shunt things to another weekend, or another day. Most of us
are very busy. That's why Doodles work--you set a time each time for
people who are interested and able to attend.
