The time zone was very difficult for me. The 7:00am sessions were easy
enough. I thought that I could wake up at 3:30am for a 4:00am session
(11:00 UTC), and I did that once. But then I needed 2 days to recover,
probably because I am not 20 anymore. I wish we had a good way to
organize asynchronous conversations with higher bandwidth than email,
but more time flexibility than video conferences.
