Would I be classified as a volunteer if I am on the online team, but not attending Wikimania this time around due to personal commitments around the dates specified?
I will be, however, monitoring IRC and helping update and translate the wiki from my home town of Brisbane during my spare time and over the days of Wikimania.

I think what this thread really tells us is it would be great to have as much discussion as possible via email and the wiki, where everyone can easily participate, since it's pretty tough to include people from the entire world conveniently in a single meeting. Things like program suggestions, agenda-building, volunteering for tasks etc can all easily happen on the wiki.
For my part, I'd be happy to sit out the occasional meeting so that times are more convenient for others.
For the record, where are interested volunteers for this year's team from? So far, it sounds like:
- Japan
- Taipei
- Brisbane
- Europe + UK
- Egypt
- West Coast N. America
- East Coast N. America

p.s. we should have a bank of those clocks in the new Wikimedia office that show the time all over the world. And some comfortable couches to nap on. p.p.s. my other piece of advice is not to change meeting times once they're chosen; it leads to confusion :P

Those changes still makes it 1am for myself here in Brisbane, Australia (AEST - UTC+10). I am part of the online team so I really would like to attend.
Although my IRC client will be idling throughout the meeting in both Wikimania channels, I'd still like to be there as events unfold.
Is there any more possible changes to times?
