Time zone

I got the offsets for everyone (I think everyone :-) )

  1. Kathmandu, Nepal - Standard time zone: UTC/GMT +5:45 hours

  2. Adelaide, Australia - Standard time zone: UTC/GMT +9:30 hours

  3. Hartford, USA - Current time zone offset: UTC/GMT -4 hours

  4. Bangalore, India - Standard time zone: UTC/GMT +5:30 hours

  5. Metairie, Louisiana, USA - Current time zone offset: UTC/GMT -5 hours

So, 3.55PM GMT/UTC/Zulu time on friday, it'd be -

  1. Kathmandu - 9pm friday

  2. Adelaide - 1.25am saturday

  3. Hartford - 11.55am friday

  4. Metairie - 10.55am friday

  5. Bangalore - 8.45pm friday

If there is anyone's timezone I've missed, just drop a note into /Discussion

Agenda

We need to set an agenda... otherwise meetings will tend to go offtopic and also helps member be better prepared before hand.

How many meetings/month?

Two sounds good?

Yes, we've agreed on 2 every month - First and Third Friday of every month :-)

Need for meeting

Below is a conversation on IRC that took between r11t and nepbabu.

nepbabu it's hard to avoid situations like that sometimes
r11t will be good as long as everyone reaches a common agreement
nepbabu yup
r11t nepbabu will be a bit tricky for us setting good time
r11t since we are scattered in terms of time zone
r11t also I like the idea having an agenda before the meeting so that everyone is prepared and has thought about their stance on something
nepbabu yes
nepbabu agenda is necessary

A meeting should be organised over IRC to organise various events with proper agenda so that members are at least prepared well before the meeting takes place.
