Actually, I'd rather the meeting be at 2am rather than 11am ;-)

OK...well we won't necessarily organize anything super formal, but I'll
be on #usability 11 hours after the existing meeting time, how's that?
Anyone who has trouble making the current time can come then, and we'll
have minutes of the last meeting available. It does make it more
difficult to resolve action points, but I'll do my best to integrate the
two opinions. 

Sorry that the international stuff makes things difficult... Just out of
interest, when does the foundation board meet? Perhaps they've found a
time that tends to work well in an international context.

That said, its much better for people to make it to the current "main
meeting time" 1800 UTC Jul 31 if you can. And as always, I'm available
to talk to on irc.
