There used to be quite a few key developers there: David, Gareth and
Nathen H. to name a few. However, David and Gareth are in the states
now, so you might be able to pull off this switch.

late, others get up early--some, like Gareth, don't sleep--so they are
easy to schedule. We'll let you tally the poll since you're obviously
unbiased :-) Everyone should send their vote directly to you and not
the list to save the clutter. Also, we should use GMT so you don't have
to figure out which time zone we are in. I'll post my preference here,
just to give an example:
Jens Owen, Mon-Fri: between 14:00 and 2:00 GMT
