Can't do overnight (12:00am to 6:30am Eastern Daylight Time, GMT-5), but rest of time should be doable, especially this coming week.

Well, it's really tricky to accommodate me, so I didn't even try last time.
Usually I'm free 19.00 to 23.59 EDT on weekdays. Well, EDT actually means GMT -4. GMT is not equivalent to UK time according to Google. Anyway, it's now 17.10 here, just for reference.
Usually I'm free all day over the weekend, but occasionally I'm busy in the lab. And that is very hard to predict.
If you try to accommodate people in the Americas, I guess then we are pretty much gonna have it at the weekends. In that case, you might want to decide on a date and time first then I'll try to work around my schedule and let you know whether I can make it or not.
Does that sound OK?

No our clocks go forward +1hour in the spring. We're operating on BST - British Summer Time at the moment.

Well, I'm aware that the UK does observe daylight saving time/summer time. My understanding is that GMT does not move, which is kinda of important for people who needs to work the satellite data.
Here's one reference, https://greenwichmeantime.com/. I just don't want to confuse people with the time zone I'm living in. :)

I entered all the calendar data into Excel and have got this.
Taking into account very wide timezones spread (from UTC +12 to UTC -7) the only available times are:
Saturday 5:00am or 6:00am and Sunday 5:00am and 6:00am (in my time zone - GMT +2).
This means that me and Caciej need to get up early in one of these days.
I am ready for this, if everyone REALLY will be there into that time.
Now we have to decide, which day it will be, Sunday or Saturday. At least 6:00am, please ::)

If my Apple World Clock is accurate, 6am in Latvia is 11pm for Eastern US (EDT). I can do either day; probably prefer Friday but both should work.

Should be fun. Not that I have any chance against the competition, including people as up to date as Whaleyland, who provides excellent element of the week analysis. My main Carc days were 2009-2013. Hard to get others to play now. So expect me to come in last.

Are we talking about this coming weekend?
If so, then either day is the same for me. I will be travelling in Chicago, but I should be able to make it.

I'm honestly not certain what 0500 (5:00am) GMT+2 equals in NZST. I think my time zone is GMT+12, which would mean I add 10 hours, right? So that would be 1500 (3:00pm) on Saturday? If so, that works for me either day. I am free all this coming weekend.

So if I'm (California) pacific standard time, then I subtract 10 hours? So 6am Latvia should be 8pm California time?

On the previous day, yes. That sounds right.

Sure, you are in!

So, to eliminate any possible mistakes, I used The World Clock Meeting Planner service, and here are the results for Sunday, 9.07.
If everybody is happy with it (sorry, Caciej, I know this is early), then I'll set my alarm clock :)

I can confirm this works for me. I have also put in a reminder on my phone for 2:45 pm and a notice on my calendar, and I have cleared it with my partner. So hopefully there will be no hitches!
