So we're past the deadline now, and early evening UTC still
seems to be the generally preferred time.
With eleven answers (counting Dom's empty slots as unknowns):
17 UTC: 8 for, 3 can't say, 0 against
18 UTC: 7-3-1
19 UTC: 9-1-1
20 UTC: 7-2-2
So 17 UTC and 19 UTC look like finalists to me but I'm not sure which
one wins :) I'd say alternate between those (and patch Dom's announcement
script to handle that of course). Any objections?
Somebody mentioned DST and the time of year in the poll comments, but I
can't think of a way to fit those in without having a poll every month,
and that seems overkill. Maybe the alternation would help there as well
so people could attend at least every other month?
