That's more what I was getting at. This isn't about someone's meal convenience but the fact that plenty of our volunteer contributors take time out of their $DAYJOB to come to Fedora meetings. They have their own professional schedules to keep, as do we who are lucky enough to work on Fedora full-time. Thus my point about respecting the human element of the local clock. -- Paul W.
