The one thing we need to keep in mind is the "If it didn't happen on a mailing list, it didn't happen <http://theapacheway.com/on-list/>" philosophy of apache projects. Shouldn't constrain us too much as the nuance is:
*"Discussions and plan proposals often happen at events, in chats (Slack, IRC, IM, etc.) or other synchronous places. But all final decisions about executing on the plan, checking in the new code, or launching the website must be made by the community asyncrhonously on the mailing list."* So long as we keep that in mind (and maybe push it back to 8am PST since 9am can get pretty ugly for some of the more eastern european / asian countries), makes sense to me.
