Changing the Day of Forrest Tuesday?
I know this has been discussed before and I wanted to raise the topic
again now, so we have time to discuss and decide before next month.
I have great difficulty partaking on a weekday because I cannot access
IRC from within my DCN at work which means I have to hop off to an
outside wireless to join, but then I can't work effectively. I normally
have a few hours in the evening, but if something comes up - either
working late or home matters, like last night, then my only window is
gone. Personally, weekends would work much better for me since I am a
lot more flexible then - even Fridays because then I can burn the
midnight oil and know it won't burn me the next day. I know that for
others though, workdays are more flexible and personal life space is
harder to manage, so I know there is no perfect solution.
Anyway, just reviving it for discussion so we can determine whether or
not the community wants to move FT to another day of the week.

Well it seems that Friday is the decision.
Now to decide which Friday.
Cocoon don't seem to do theirs anymore. Pity.
Anyway if it ever revives then it would be
first Friday.
So i suggest that we have ours on the second Friday
of each month. Any objections or better ideas?

So do I if it facilitates more participation. As long as those who are
able to make it during the day can also make weekends.
I can't, in many cases. But I can make Friday day, so no problem there.

the weekend.

Glad you brought this up Addi
This was actually discussed yesterday and a post was to be imminant
asking again which day(s) would be better.
It was discussed that we ask who would like it to be changed from
Tuesday to Friday going into Saturday, this is exactly the time you
are suggesting.
I am in favour of moving it to Friday into Saturday also, I will
certainly have more time to do more.
For those that can do weekdays and prefer to keep the weekends
to themselves then the actual start time could be Friday AM GMT/UTC
Then, those that can work during the Friday daytime can and when others
join on a Friday evening it can then roll on into Saturday and finish
whenever everyone finishes, this stretches from 24 hours to maybe 36
but I feel this would be better.
Below is an indication, not a vote.
Maybe people could put there name under there preference :-
1. Stay as Forrest Tuesday
2. Move to Forrest Friday. (finish Sat AM)
3. Move to Forrest Friday into Saturday. (Finish Sat PM or whenever)
