To determine the most popular time for the meeting, a Doodle poll was created by Jonasschnelli and preferences for days and times were requested. The results of the poll showed that Thursday from 19:00 to 20:00 UTC was the most convenient time for attendees. The conversation also touched on the topic of timezones and daylight saving time (DST). Btc Drak jokingly suggested the idea of hardforking time to improve it, but Gregory Maxwell pointed out that there is little global consistency regarding DST usage, making it difficult to use timezones that observe DST. Matt Corallo suggested using Google Calendar's timezone option, but noted that UTC is not available as an option. Btc Drak then suggested using Iceland time (UTC without DST) as an alternative.The inconvenience caused by clock-changing was also discussed, and the suggestion to quote an actual timezone of a specific area to avoid this inconvenience was mentioned. Tonal time was brought up as a consistent alternative. In addition to the discussion about meeting times and timezones, the email sent by someone offering their tech services for free included links to their projects, such as Litmocracy, Meme Racing, and webmastering The Voluntaryist, which now accepts Bitcoin. The email concluded with a quote from Satoshi Nakamoto, emphasizing the importance of playing by the rules for profitability.Overall, the main focus of the conversation was finding a suitable time for a regular developer meeting in #bitcoin-dev. The developers aimed to accommodate different timezones, address the challenges posed by DST, and make use of options available in Google Calendar. The objective of establishing a regular meeting time was to encourage more people to attend and facilitate discussions of current issues within the Bitcoin community.
