Re: Git Inclusion Summit

Hello all,

First test of inclusion: be inclusive of time zones.
I've updated the whenisgood [1] to accept a broader time range.  From
6am to 9pm Pacific to be more doable for people in EMEA and APAC. To
those who have already responded with time preferences, can you submit
another response with the new times? Jonathan's suggestion of having
multiple half days at different times could be a good compromise (one
day you wake up early, another day you stay up late).
