What time of the day is best for our Online Main Meeting?
We have an upcoming Main Meeting in a few days and it will be the first time we are running it online! Traditionally we would start at 7pm and wrap at around 9pm followed by dinner at a local restaurant. (feels like the past life!) However, now the event is online and almost all the reasons led to a 7pm start are invalid! Now the question is: *What time is best to start an Online Main Meeting*? Options we can consider are: *12pm - 2pm* *5pm - 7pm* *7pm - 9pm* *8pm - 10pm* Please let me know by replying to this email or contacting the committee at <luv-ctte@luv.asn.au>. Ideally we will settle on a time that works the best for most of our community, especially those who would previously find it difficult to attend in-person meetings due to distance or family commitment, etc. For that reason I would like to hear from anyone who has a preference, especially if: - you live inside the curfew zone. - you are a parent or a carer - you work between 9 to 5 (if that still is a thing for some?) - or for any other reason there is a limit on the range of hours you can attend online meetings. It's worth noting that the meeting will be accessible on a desktop browser and Android phones and iPhones. + Alexar -- [image: image.jpg] *Alexar Pendashteh* technologist / social entrepreneur https://github.com/pendashteh
We finalized the time of Tomorrow's meeting. *7pm - 9pm (Melbourne time)* Details are available on the event page: https://www.meetup.com/Linux-Users-of-Victoria/events/272840299/ Three members shared their feedback with us with the following reasons: *7pm is better than 5pm* because most members may want to have early dinner. *7pm is good* because it is the time we normally would have started our meeting at and I am used to it. *5pm is better than 7pm* because some members may need to attend to family commitment later in the evening. Thank you! More feedback is also more than welcome as it will inform our planning for the future meetings. I would also like to hear about what members think about morning/afternoon and weekends. + Alexar On Sun, Aug 30, 2020 at 2:19 PM Alexar Pendashteh <hi@alexar.me> wrote:
