I'm sure Zha would be happy to open up the Tuesday slot for Groupies for this, or we could use Zero's office space/time slot since everyone is used to being online during those times. Or, any other timeslot for that matter. I can assure you that its a hot topic with realxtend folk also and posssibly with some of the libomv folk.
