[Foundation-l] Office hours ... the concept of time zones

[Waerth]

Basically if there is room for two sets of office hours it should still 
be possible to please most of the world. There are times when 
Europe/Africa and the Americas overlap. And there are times when East 
Asia/Australia and the Americas overlap .... There are no hours that all 
3 of these rough zones would overlap really and West Asia/Middle East 
would be a bit tricky to fit in with these zones.

Basically office hours for an Americas/East Asia/Australia zone would 
overlap best from 0300 to 0500 UTC (Evening Americas, Morning/afternoon 
East Asia/Australia and even west Asia could fit in)
Office hours for an Americas/Europe zone could be something like 1900 
UTC till 2100 UTC (Afternoon/morning Americas, Evening Europe) When you 
plan round and bout these hours most of the world would be satisfied and 
able to participate in either one or the other set of office hours!

>>> 1) Have the Friday office hours one hour earlier (from 21:30-22:30 UTC)
>>> 2) Have the Thursday office hours one hour later (from 17:00-18:00 UTC)
>>> 3) Keep two sets of office hours the same, we cannot please everyone
>>> possible!

>> What about making both of them a couple of hours later?
