August 2022 Meeting

[seanturner]

Please fill out this poll to indicate your availability. We would like to make the decision by July 8th so please indicate your preferences by then.

Aram and I would like to schedule the next patcg meeting for either the 1st Tuesday/Thursday (2/4) or the 2nd Tuesday/Thursday (9/11) of August; sometime zones will be 3/5 and 10/12. We will again have the two 3 hour sessions. As agreed, we are going to rotate the time of day around so that at some point everybody will need to be up early/late. This time we are proposing 2400 CET / 2300BST / 2200 UTC / 1800 EST / 1500 PST / 0600 Singapore (next day) / 0800 AEST (next day). An early set of apologies to those who have bad start times.

We appear to be favouring US timezones; this will make three meetings in five crossing midnight in Europe. That wasn't what I expected given the discussion following #19 (comment)

[seanturner]

We have used three meeting times (roughly)* for four meetings (excluding the 2021 TPAC):

• A (4th) 0800 CEST / 0700 BST / 0600 UTC / 0200 EDT / 2300 PDT (previous day) / 1400 Singapore / 1600 AEST
• B (1st/3rd): 2400 CET / 2300 BST / 2200 UTC / 1800 EST / 1500 PST / 0600 Singapore (next day) / 0800 AEST (next day)
• C (2nd) : 1500 CEST / 1400 BST / 1300 UTC / 0900 EDT / 0600 PDT / 2100 Singapore / 2300 AEST

My plan was to rotate through them. I see now that when picking this meeting's time, I went back to time B (1st/3rd meeting's time) when I should probably have gone to time C (2nd meeting's time). Going forward, I'll cycle through these times, i.e., in Sept/Oct we'll meet at time C, the next meeting will be time A, then time B, and so on.

• With daylight saving time followed in some timezones and not others the times listed here might move and hour or here or there.

This is a reminder to please fill out the poll for the August meeting. Aram and I would like to be able to decide sometime around the 8th of July.

Thanks for those who have filled out the poll.

@seanturner looks like it's pretty even between the two weeks (and comes down to @bmayd, @michaelkleber, and myself OR @rmirisola, @wseltzer, and @jaylett-annalect.)

Most importantly, though, it would be great to lock in the date!

[seanturner]

After talking with Aram, we settled on the latter dates: August 9 & 11. I will get the formal announcement out soonest.
