Dear all,

There haven't been any responses on the Doodle poll in the last day or
so, so time to call it for the meeting time.

It looks like November 24th at 19:00 - 20:30 UTC is the best date
overall, with 12 green ticks and one orange, so let's go with that.

I'll send out a Zoom invite soon,

Cheers,

Matthew
