Time Difference

I am happy to be part of this hackathon, but seeing the time set for meeting was a shock because on my time zone (GMT +1) it was 2am and I live in a country with no stable electricity.
My PC is the only way I could join the meeting but I had no electricity.
Can you create a poll to see where each participant come from to set the best time for the next meeting? I won't bear to miss it too.

    Hi Nelson,

    Thank you first of all for a great point re: the time difference. With our participants this year spanning almost 20 time zones from San Francisco to New Zealand (with the majority operating out of North America and South Asian time zones), there really is no "perfect" time, but we've tried our best to manage this by having 13+ workshops, sessions & other mini-events across almost every time possible. Our hope therefore is that no one can make all the events that we have, but everyone should be able to attend some. With recordings available if you miss any!

    On this, please find a recording of our opening + agenda + rubric + other materials to help you get going here, we'll be keeping this updated throughout the weekend: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1TWUnIQTb9iApK8d67MGOAAJslfsZU-LU?usp=sharing.

    And as a next most immediate event & time very well for GMT + 1, we have our second networking connect starting shortly @ 4:30 AM EDT/ 8:30 GMT = 9:30 AM for you... Please do attend if you're around & will send a Calendar invite for that as well.

    And please do join our Slack, as it's the place where we're making the most updates... Hope to see you & everyone else out there :)

    Many thanks & kind regards,

    Shitangshu
