looking at the times its all when the working class people is at work.

I understand the issue, but this is a timezone related problem that a
global community like Fedora must always deal with. Unfortunately,
there's no real solution - we have instructors from different time
zones, and we'll have participants who will sometimes be from different
timezones.

Given that a lot of the instructors (and community contributors in
general) are also mostly employed full time, we can't really request
them to host sessions at times inconvenient to them - they're already
taking time out of their professional, personal lives to contribute :)

What I hope will happen as we gain traction is that community members
from all over the planet will begin to take multiple sessions on
similar topics, and that will make sessions more accessible to
participants from different timezones. This is probably worth
mentioning in our next "call for instructors" post.
