Re: [Printing-architecture] OpenPrinting micro-conference 2023

Hi Till,

This idea all makes sense, EXCEPT that 9-10 September is a Saturday/Sunday.

For me (and probably Mike and others), that's out-of-the-question.

If you could back up two days to 7-8 September on Thursday/Friday, then I
could
possibly call in.

Remember that there is a 9 1/2 hour time difference between IST in India
and EDT
in US.  So the only practical timeslot is very early EDT in US (e.g., 7am)
and late
afternoon in India (e.g., 4:30pm) and early afternoon in Europe (e.g., 1pm
CEST).

Thoughts?

Cheers,
- Ira
