First i suggest s#jan/july#1st Jan & 1st July#

Second i suggest to pick a time too, like 0:00 UTC

Third, for future votes i suggest to lengthen the period of
proposing of additional possibilities. Here we all maybe have seen this already
but. If this was new than 2-3 days really is too short. That period needs
to include discussion and thinking for a person who might be working 8 hour
a day on something unrelated to FFmpeg.

There may be more but thats what comes to my mind ATM

thx
