Because it's a waste of time until we get enough people saying they are at least interested. I've done doodles before and it's only worth it when there is pre-commitment to the idea of having a meeting.

[libreoffice-users] Re: North America Pub Chat
Hi All, So far I've gotten no interest in this at all (which is unfortunate). If I don't get at least a few responses by Wednesday I' going to call it off (as it's really just not worth it if we don't have minimum of 4 preferably 5-6). It would be really nice to get a North American team consistently contributing as right now Europe dominates the contributor side and IMHO it looks bad for us in North America to be using the product but not contributing something in return as FLOSS software really depends on a community, a give and take relationship.

[libreoffice-users] Re: North America Pub Chat
Definitely willing to move the time around. So maybe we need to first see who would theoretically like to make it and then we can discuss a specific time? I'm also a full time law student so my schedule is a bit...chaotic, but I'll do whatever I can to continue trying to build a solid North American base. So, any other people who would be interested but the Friday afternoon time doesn't work?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: North America Pub Chat
Well, some people do not use Chat often, like me. Of course, I do not tend to be up that late as well, since I tend to be awake at about 5am no matter what time I go to bed.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: North America Pub Chat
Actually, that time zone chart is not quite accurate. The differences are correct for daylight time, but not for standard time. PST (GMT/UCT - 8) MST (GMT/UCT - 7) CST (GMT/UCT - 6) EST (GMT/UCT - 5) PDT (GMT/UCT - 7) MDT (GMT/UCT - 6) CDT (GMT/UCT - 5) EDT (GMT/UCT - 4) And, of course, our daylight (summer) time has to be different from the rest of the world. We start earlier and end later than the European countries, so the difference from another given time zone isn't constant. Dave On 10/7/2013 10:30, Joel Madero wrote: hip.
