To ensure that we keep momentum, a weekly or bi-weekly IRC chat might be quite helpful.  Lets use this thread to set up the IRC chats and discuss the times and dates.

I usually work nights, so anytime after 11pm EST is good for me, mornings are fine as well.

I think the times for a specific meeting will have to depend on what the discussion is about. We have users in Australia, Europe, India and USA. It's difficult to schedule a time that is suitable for everyone.

If we are to have general meetings that are biweekly/weekly, It could possibly be at midnight EST, which would be 8am for me (in Finland) and 4pm in Australia.

4pm will work for me on weekdays just about always.  It should be okay on most weekends, too.

Main CLLARE workgroups: Mission Planning, Navigation and Guidance. I do maths, physics, C, Python and Java.

biollante and I have had a couple of short IRC meetings. I feel that these are quite helpful. While working with such a global community, sometimes it takes a while to have a discussion. A question will be asked in one country, and then that person won't get the response from the member in another country until the next day. With these meetings, we are able to do things quickly and efficiently.

It might make sense to have these meetings on a weekend. That way, it's not so bad for those staying up at Midnight (hopefully this won't hinder on the social life) and not so bad for those during office/school hours. I propose two options (hopefully I have the timezones correct):

a) Friday night (Saturday @ 12:00am) for EST

Saturday @ 7am for CET

Saturday @ 8am for EET

Saturday @ 4pm for Australia

 

b) Saturday night (Friday @ 12:00am) for EST

Sunday @ 7am for CET

Sunday @ 8am for EET

Sunday @ 4pm for Australia

 

Please tell me your preference, or make a new proposal.

 

Edit: Overlooking the previous comments, I see that weekdays would work for most. It's not ideal for me, but it could work. Just let me know if this is then better.

Since I haven't had much of a response, I am going to go ahead and push this through. Starting this Saturday, we will have bi-weekly IRC meetings. Therefor, every odd numbered week (i.e. this is week 45) we will have IRC meetings. The schedule is below:
*note: I'm not sure how the recent daylight savings time affects these. We will follow the GMT time. Please check.
Saturday @ 6am for GMT
Saturday @ 4pm for EDT (Sydney, Australia)
Saturday @ 8am for EET (Helsinki, Finland)
Saturday @ 7am for CET (Paris, France)
Friday night @ midnight (Saturday @ 12:00am) for EST (New York, New York)
Friday night @ 11pm for CST (Chicago, Illinois)
IRC is a fantastic tool. I have been using it more often lately, and find it to be a large help. To be able to discuss in real time is critical for our quick growth. The problem, lately, is that not many members are utilizing this tool. I urge you all to join the channel at any time you are free. Add the channel to an IM client, such as Pidgin or mIRGGI (mIRGGI is for Nokia mobiles. Try to find for your own mobile).
If we set aside a time where a large amount of members will join the channel, we can decide on many issues as well as to discuss many proposals. I urge everyone to join.
We have recently determined a new structure for CSTART. We now have three main areas that make up CSTART. We have Program Chimera, Program Cloudlab and Program COSMOS. At this first meeting, I would like to discuss more on how this will work as well as how to set up the website for this and for the PR group. I would also like to discuss the current status for these three areas as well as the current status of ODE. We also have to determine what to do with incorporating as a non-profit. This is a lot to discuss, but let's at least get moving on this.
I hope to see you all soon on the IRC channel. Join in if even to just say "hi".
Go here through a web browser, which is also as a link on the top bar under "Get Involved" at http://www.cstart.org:
For IM clients:
server: chat.freenode.net
port: 6667
Sorry for the terrible formatting. Perhaps we can also discuss this at the meetings.

Based on 0600 UTC some of those time zones are off. Be sure to verify your local time.

I made some mistakes with the time zones. Sorry. Let's go with 5am GMT. This should then be:

 

-Friday night @ midnight (Saturday 12am) for eastern standard time (New York, New York)

-Saturday @ 4pm for EDT (Sydney, Australia)

-Saturday @ 6 am for CET (Paris, France)

 

I hope to see you all there! Just a few more hours to go.
