I argued unsuccessfully in the past for choosing times differently. 02:19:40 <gmcharlt> thd: I think this question should be brought up again at the next meeting -- it's not productive to hold meetings at times that barely anybody attends 02:19:57 * dcook was on the phone 02:20:05 <gmcharlt> but for now, any objections to 5 March 2014 18:00 UTC for the next meeting? 02:20:15 <dcook> #info David Cook, Sydney, Australia 02:20:20 <davidnind_> Not from me 02:20:56 <gmcharlt> #agreed the next community meeting will be held at 18:00 UTC on 5 March 2014 02:20:57 <thd> Yes, I will propose that we consider not holding meetings when the time is optimal for people who live in the middle of the ocean. 02:20:58 <talljoy> #info Joy Nelson ByWater Solutions 02:21:15 * talljoy had her days wrong. sigh. 02:21:29 <JDatTeTakere_> This is a great time for NZ but obviously not so good for other parts of the world 02:21:33 <BobB> that's a bit fishy, thd 02:21:34 <wizzyrea> #info Liz Rea 02:22:24 <thd> Maybe insufficiency of announcement is the more important problem. 02:22:42 <dcook> This is actually the one time I probably can do for meetings 02:22:52 <dcook> But I usually assume that it's not that time, so I don't pay too much attention to the announcements 02:22:57 <gmcharlt> another solution: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jmdLpsK_k8 02:23:02 <dcook> By announcements, I mean reading the topic when I enter the channel 02:23:07 <BobB> I agree, and I guess we could do more to promote the meetings, to librarians esp. 02:23:20 <gmcharlt> agreed that we need more active promotion 02:23:58 <davidnind_> I tried... an email to list on Sunday, tweet about an hour beforehand 02:24:29 <dcook> I don't suppose the meetings are all that relevant for most people 02:24:39 <gmcharlt> davidnind++ # clearly the next step involves more ... drastic measures ;) 02:25:02 <gmcharlt> anyway, sufficient unto the day 02:25:05 <gmcharlt> #endmeeting
