[Foundation-l] IRC general meetings

[Dan Rosenthal]

No matter what time you're dealing with you're going to have bad timing somewhere. Move it forward a few hours, and you lose Europe.  Move it backwards and you lose the WMF and west coast US (and not likely to get much east coast involvement that early).
