The time and choice of time, occasionally the method to choose the time (aka votes), seem to have created some turmoil in the past.Sounds like a good idea to me but I think it does make it difficult to discuss about common topics as some people who are working on the related issue may not be able to join the meet with people who are working on the same issue who are from a different time zone as like you said, it divides the meeting into timezones where there'll be different people in different meetings.Now, let me introduce a new take on that: Recurring Drop-in. Recurring: A fixed, recurring schedule. Drop-in: You are free to show up or not. So, it happens at a fixed schedule, but you can attend as you see fit.This isn't too worse than status quo: we already, practically, attend at will and by chance.As for the schedule, I suggest we have it biweekly, one at a far negative time zones friendly time, one at a far positive time zones friendly time, so people at both zone ranges could have equal chance, and effectively have a monthly meeting, except for those who are enthusiastic enough to show up on both ends. (For people near +0, hi! I hope it doesn't annoy you too much. If it does, please speak up.)For the day of the week, in the past we mostly fixed on weekends. Again, anyone is free to show up or not.
To elaborate clearly, if X persons discusses about something in the negative time zone meet, Y person who also knows something about it but attends the positive time zone meet may not know about it.
