We have had requests for moving the weekly meeting time back an hour
to 9:00pm EST. Can we see a vote on this...

That would be awesome for me - I'd definitely try to make more if it were at 9pm EST as opposed to 10pm.

I've been wanting to attend these, but they've been too late for me.
9pm EST would be perfect.

+1....and -1 too...

I have Non-Virtual user groups that I attend on 2 wednesday's per month and if this moves to 9 EST then I can no longer get home in time to attend the VAN on those weeks...but for the week's I'm *already* home, this is a big +! for me :)

Win-some, lose-some it looks like....

Well for what it's worth, I am a -1, as it means 3am rather than 4am for
me :-)

Oh sorry for bailing on the brown bag session too, computer crashed, I
have to let it cool down.

But I was about to show the group a little tool called Koda:
http://www.codeplex.com/koda

A lot of people have more powerful tools that do most of what Koda does
so wont need it, but I use ReSharper too and Koda has a couple of
features that ReSharper doesn't, such as Close All Documents and
Collapse All Projects. My favorite feature is the auto-generate
properties. I like it cos I have to use c# 2 and cannot use auto properties.

However since installing resharper 4.5, Koda does not load. (It is
greyed out in the Add-In manager)

I assume EDT was meant instead of EST. 21:00 EDT is OK with me, but
Wednesdays are bad. It seems like most user groups pick Wednesdays,
so I'll often have conflicts. Is anyone else in the same boat? Mon,
Tu, or Th are usually more open, especially Mondays.

As mentioned, I too am in the Wednesday-is-loved-by-brick-and-mortar-user-groups bind as well.  With start-time = 10pm eastern I can just about get home in time but with 9pm that's two weeks/month I would have to pick up in mid-meetings due to user groups I attend/run those nights (hardly the end of my world or anyone else's for that matter, but less-than-ideal for me to be sure).

Mondays are tough due to holidays that tend to be observed then so typically I'd recommend against moving to a Monday for that reason.

Hmm, I'm willing to try this. That puts the meeting at 20:00 CST,
we'll see how this flies with the gf.
