In the next week my University classes will start again, a
great part of it will start at the end of the afternoon (19:30 UTC
until 00:30 UTC). Friday would be the best day for 19:00 UTC meetings
or any day but three or four hours earlier. (Mornings would be
great :D).
And, for the record, I'm on UTC-0300 (Brazil). At the end of the
year we will have Daylight Saving Time and Brazil will be UTC-0200 for a
couple of months.

Using 14:00 UTC we will have the table below, I don't know how hard
it would be to get that earlier ("Bdale") and to stand up until late ("aj"),
I also do not know about how people could deal with the meeting during the
day, but it seems a possible time that will fits everybody. :-)
USA ("Bdale") 07:00 (UTC-7)
Mexico: 09:00 (UTC-5)
Brasil: 11:00 (UTC-3)
Meeting Time: 14:00 (UTC)
Great Britain: 15:00 (UTC+1)
Central Europe: 16:00 (UTC+2)
Australia ("aj"): 24:00 (UTC+10)

Kind regards, (hope this helps)
