Dev Meetings: Adding a Time Rotation That's Friendly to Asia/Pacific Time Zones

[arschles]

We now have a rotation of times that are beginning to accommodate EU and North America time zones in #954 (comment).

As @Kunde21 mentioned in #954 (comment), we don't yet have a time in the rotation that is friendly to Asia/Pacific time zones.

This issue is for adding a time into the rotation that is friendly to those timezones.

Ideally, I think there would be a meeting on the odd weeks ~11-13UTC, preceding one of the two US/EU time slots. An EU/AF dev would become the "bridge" by attending at their lunch time and in the evening, to keep both regions informed. Unfortunately, that means extra responsibility and duties piled upon a small number of devs in Europe/Africa, who are available at both times.

@Kunde21 I think we decided that a single, rotating meeting time each week is less bad than a separate meeting for other time zones each week (see #852 (comment)).

What do you think of an every three week rotation, with one of the weeks being ~11-13UTC?

unfortunately, we are not doing dev meetings regularly anymore, partially because we can't find a good time for enough people to come. we have folks in GMT/CET time zones, North/South America time zones, and Asia/Pacific time zones! on the plus side, I'm proud that there are Athens users and developers all over the world. So, I am going to close this.

Sidenote: I do office hours and screencasts every once in a while, and I'm going to find some other ways for us to talk outside of GitHub.
