[scikit-learn] Monthly meetings between core developers

[Olivier Grisel]

I just found this planner to give it a try:

https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingtime.html?day=29&month=7&year=2019&p1=240&p2=33&p3=37&p4=179&iv=0

(Berlin and Paris are on the same timezone so I did not put only Berlin).

It's going to be challenging to find a timeslot for every body. The
least extreme timeslot for everybody to attend at the same time would
be:

https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingdetails.html?year=2019&month=7&day=29&hour=11&min=0&sec=0&p1=240&p2=33&p3=37&p4=179

We could also arrange for a second timeslot later (that would be
Tuesday morning in Australia and China):

https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingdetails.html?year=2019&month=7&day=29&hour=21&min=0&sec=0&p1=240&p2=33&p3=37&p4=179

I wouldn't mind doing a meeting around 11pm on Monday evening from
time to time but it would still be very early for Beijing.

Just to let you know, I will be off from next Saturday till Monday
August 19 (big summer break :) so don't count on my for the first
meeting if you start the meetings  in the mean time.
