Why are the meetings at 13:00 UTC?
Moodle never sleeps. There are developers working on Moodle around the clock. So when do you have a meeting to accommodate developers worldwide?
You might think this is a trivial question, but it has generated enough discussion and angst to deserve proper justification.
We have attempted, in the past, to run meetings in rotating time slots. While this seemed fair, it excluded large groups of developers (see the graphic to the right).
Meetings starting at 13:00 UTC seem to include the largest number of participants. This does unfortunately disadvantage people in the Easter United States, in New Zealand and across the Pacific Ocean, however this constitutes a smaller proportion of potential attendees than other time slots.
