You're right; translation->translation or other traditionally
geography-tied groups.

That falls into the 'probably doing something wrong' category. :)

(I don't know if Ubuntu still does this, but at one time their public
IRC meetings rotated by +6 hours every meeting, so that at some point
all members had to attend sleepy and cranky, and vice-versa all
members of 'the public' in the less favored time zones at some point
or another got a chance to attend a less-lousy meeting time. May be
something to consider for the public board IRC meetings.)
