Hi RhinosF1, The Café previously has been held on weekday mornings (US Pacific time). The schedule was moved to its current time after a suggestion that more people from India would attend at the new time. The average attendance has been significantly higher at the new time slot, so I think that the current time is likely to remain constant. (The majority of the participants have been from Europe and North America, and we have had some participants from Africa and Asia, primarily India.) I've suggested having an additional time slot for the Café that is offset by 12 hours from the current time slot so that people from other time zones can more participate and so that there would be two Café meetups per month.
So far we are having one meetup per month, and I would want Bluerasberry to agree to to two meetups per month before moving ahead with that. Two possibilities are that Bluerasberry and I would not both attend every Café session but at least one of us would be present for each Café, and/or we would find someone who is experienced with the Café's format to host a meetup without us. How does that sound to you?
