Hello Zane.

It's really the great news, that you would like to make some changes in the
alt meeting time.
I agree with folks, that creating meeting at the time when we lose a lot of
people from US is not a good idea.
I think that we should have meeting at the time which will be comfortable
for the most part of the core team.

About alternative time: both variant looks good for me ;)

>From the other side (if don't forget about ideas above), I prefer to
abandon the alt meeting and move it at 19.00 UTC (if we want to have some
"alternative" in the time).

Anyway, thank you for the good ideas ;)

Regards,
Sergey.
