The schedule itself might have been fine but it still looks rather early to me. If you want to collect feedback from developers, one day is definitely not going to be enough. Atleast three days or so needs to be provided and you usually need more than one reminder to get as much feedback as you can. Otherwise you are going to end up with a rather small list which is not meaningful.
