Thanks for setting this up!

Is 9AM PDT fixed, or can it be adjusted? 9AM PDT is midnight for the
UTC+8 folks.

The time is still fine for me, though, I tend to stay up quite late
anyway ;) so that time works fine on my end if the slot is fixed.

Is there a calendar invite or something, please send me one, I'm happy
to do a swap sync discussion there.
