That time works fine for me.

Hopefully asking for project reports for the annual report helps  
remind projects of their need to move forward.  Most projects have  
given a report and included a comment or two on incubation/graduation  
status.  Not very detailed, but it does help somewhat.

Judging by how many board members make it to a code sprint or two, it  
might be easiest to try to aim to meet at one of those.  I assume  
that each Europe or North American meeting could get at least half  
the board together at a time, if not more.
