   Bob,

   As much as you may think this is me being difficult, can i strongly suggest that having an impromtu IRC chat with less than 2 days notice, on VALENTINE'S DAY, at (minimum of) 1am in Europe or 6am in India is... i'm trying hard to phrase this nicely... wishful.

   As much as we all want the best for bbPress, rushing these things is never productive. Heck, not everyone you'd want involved checks the forums every 2 days!

   Can I please know that if the timezone I selected here is correct - http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converted.html?day=14&month=2&year=2010&hour=19&min=0&sec=0&p1=47&p2=176
   It shows 2 time zones (1 for winter and 1 for summer)

   If it is (correct), then I'll surely attend the meetup.

   @kevinjohngallagher
   Thanks for your opinion, though i disagree. They only thing we are rushing "in this circumstance" is community discussion. And i wouldn't call it rushing, there is more than 24 hours notice, with prior notifications and messages sent to users that showed interest. But in the future I will post in advance. Will you be attending?

   Does this help any?

   It says Time is fixed on Saturday, 13 February 2010, 17:42:51 UTC time, but I don't thing that's the case. Ok, just tell me how many hours is that timezone (EST) ahead/behind of GMT.

   EST is 5 hours behind of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) tell me where you are approximately located on this world clock,
   http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/

   and we can compare times

   Oh.. bad timing (for me).. exactly opposite my location - http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=176

   Can't the meetup be held near 1000 to 2300 IST time (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?day=14&month=2&year=2010&hour=10&min=00&sec=0&p1=176)

   Apologies Bob,

   I can't make it (valentine's day - not a big deal to me, a big deal to the better half).
   Hope it goes well, and i'll read the transcripts on Tuesday.

   Have a great weekend folks.

    7:00 - 7:30 EST - silence, no-one arrived.

    7:30 - 8:00 EST - chit-chat about the positives of Chrome as a browser, and a couple of bbPress topic/post admin related feature requests.

    Basically, extremely quiet.

    Yeah, have to say, kinda unhappy. I risked vengance and homelessness from the better half to get up and stay up til 4am.
