[UbuntuWomen] UbuntuWomen IRC Meetup Day, Thursday, January 11, 2007

[B.A. Lopez]

Okay, how about this to get us started, two scheduled sessions to try  
to cover various timezones and then we just generally try to keep the  
ubuntu-women channel as "open day" for Thursday, January 11, 2007.

1.)  Group 1 starting at 15:00 UTC (3 PM London), Thursday, Jan 11, 2007

New York (U.S.A. - New York) Thursday, January 11, 2007 at 10:00:00  
AM UTC-5 hours EST
Houston (U.S.A. - Texas) Thursday, January 11, 2007 at 9:00:00 AM  
UTC-6 hours CST
San Francisco (U.S.A. - California) Thursday, January 11, 2007 at  
7:00:00 AM UTC-8 hours PST

hours


2.) Group 2 starting 12 hours later at
Friday, January 12, 2007 at 03:00:00 UTC (3 AM London)

New York (U.S.A. - New York) Thursday, January 11, 2007 at 10:00:00

2:00:00 PM UTC+11 hours EST
Manila (Philippines) Friday, January 12, 2007 at 11:00:00 AM UTC+8  
hours Corresponding UTC (GMT)

Sorry, if the formatting comes out strange, I cut and pasted from  
http://www.timeanddate.com/  and more apologizes if you're still not  
able to make either time but if we just target that day to keep the  
channel open and make an effort to be available as new folks stop by  
then I think we'll accomplish something positive for the day.

Does anyone know how to get on the Ubuntu Fridge calendar?  other  
places we want to send the word out to?

  In the interim, please let's keep brainstorming on specific ideas.   
I'm loving the activity on this list and want to keep our momentum  
moving forward.  And keep dropping into the ubuntu-women IRC channel  
any time and I'll try remember to keep it open as well.

cheers,

Belinda (in Houston)
