Dev chat time: apparently in Europe some countries have no school on Wednesdays, and that is seen as a family day. Can we move dev chat to another day to allow non-US people time with their kids? In that vein, 5pm on the east coast also cuts into kid time, maybe we could work out a schedule so that the time changes between two time slots (same day) each week, so that no geographic location is unduly burdened in this way (or forced to get up at 5am every single week, etc).

Trying to speak on behalf of fellow Europeans: Any week day works, but Wednesday does the above-outlined issues.

Day of the week doesnt matter to me, I too didnt realise that Wednesday was special to anyone (Other than being when House used to be broadcast..)
As it is, the meeting basically got moved on my request, There was no way i’d be able to make it to it most mornings with the previous timeslot, its not 7am which is much easier for Aus east coast..
A rotating schedule could be good, But it could get a bit confusing for some as to which hour it is that week, or day even..

Rotating defeats the purpose — people will just got to the ones most convenient.

Ok, so thursday, then?

Aw, but then we’ll kill the alliteration!
Rotating will be confusing, let’s pick one time. We could use this tool to figure out what times/days work for people (be sure to choose your local timezone).

By definition, it’ll always be happy hour somewhere.

I filled it in on whenisgood.com. We should post to dev channel over next couple of days to get more people to fill it in and/or send to hackers list.

Filled that it, although the UI was a little confusing.
Weekday late evening BST/GMT work best for me i.e. 8 or 9pm UTC

I’d like to here more about the reorganization of WordPress development and the plan to get the community involved more / make it easier for them to know about things and get involved in areas they like. When is WordPress.org go to their Profiles redone? Maybe this type of stuff word be better in a development post, rather than at the dev chat.

Day of the week doesn’t matter to me. Current time is nice as it’s 2PM, but +/- a few hours is fine.
