This is a good point to consider for those of us paid by RHT to be
present at the meeting.  When we have meetings scheduled to happen
during business hours, we unconsciously exclude the non- at redhat.com
folks.

In the end, we all get inconvenienced to some degree.  My default over
the years has been to take the inconvenience on myself and others who
are here because of their $dayjob.[1]

Sadly, this is actually the hardest with folks in Oz.  Business hours in
the States are almost exactly the opposite of those in Australia, so
either people in the US have to attend during "work hours", or
vice-versa.

Options:

* Hold two meetings:
  - one that lands in Aus/Singapore/other APAC working hours but is
after hours in the US/EMEA
  - one that lands in the before/after hours for APAC but is in the
work-hours for the US/EMEA

* Seek a 'perfect time' for each meeting using a time matrix
