Hi

Ok well so how about this Thursday at 4pm CET, which Rafik points out is a more congenial midnight in Japan, and I suppose 7am PST?  Californians can join over breakfast I guess...

As to timing, I don’t think Doodling 451 members is going to be practical, so we should just pick a time like maybe 5pm CET which is equally annoying to people in Asia and the US West Coast, not sure about down under…
