Ok, I think we two should coordinate. I propose:
	Thursday 16 February 2006
	10 - 11 GMT	= 11 - 12 CET
Ok for everyone?

Ahh, thanks for telling me this!

Thanks SVN Master! Maybe it would be better if you could do the switch?
I would add you to the group of pkg-texlive, then you could
 - prohibit commits to pkg-tetex and pkg-texlive
 - do the above
and no need to coordinate. Not that I mind if you take this ;-)

Best wishes

FRAMLINGHAM (n.)
A kind of burglar alarm usage. It is cunningly designed so that it can
ring at full volume in the street without apparently disturbing
anyone. Other types of framlingams are burglar alarms fitted to
business premises in residential areas, which go off as a matter of
regular routine at 5.31 p.m. on a Friday evening and do not get turned
off til 9.20 a.m. on Monday morning.
