Hi everyone, (Rob) > It's a nuisance to convert but stating the time in UTC & a few other > timezones seems to be the most clear thing we can do. Yeah, those "Western"/"Eastern" timezones are just a bit too US-centric. ;-p IMHO, UTC (a.k.a. GMT) timezones are much more clear. ;-) (Andreas) > When discussing times, there is always the question whether we need to > add daylight savings or not. AFAIK, UTC-based timezones don't embed that information: you'll need to be aware of your country's DST setting and perform the conversion. I've found a pretty useful world [1] map which includes DST information and, therefore, makes time conversion much easier. :-) (Jeff) > After looking over the schedules, it seems that the following time is > acceptable to most (but not all) people: > > Tue 13:00 UTC-5 / Tue 14:00 UTC-4 / Tue 19:00 UTC+1 / Tue 22:00 > UTC+4 BTW, this will be Tue 19:00 in Portugal (Summer) local time (UTC with DST, which is equivalent to UTC+1). ;-) (Jeff) > Please chime in on your opinion of this timeslot as soon as possible. Yup, fine by me. :-) Few thoughts/questions: * The info about the meeting in the wiki [2] should be updated/removed (I'd vote for hiding until this is shaped up): last week (which didn't happen), that "Monday" in the table tricked me and I though I was loosing the meeting! :-D * Is there an archive of previous minutes [3]? I lost one or two meetings (I was already attending before officially joining the SVGIG) and I'd like to catch up; * (Related to the above) I was looking for a link to the Ottawa test fest [4] occurred last year. I attended a SVGIG meeting where a link was posted but, as I didn't found the minutes (I took a look at the test fest report at the time, but didn't bookmark it as I knew it would be later available within the minutes...?); Regards, Helder [1] http://www.worldtimezone.com/ [2] http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/IG/wiki/Communication#Day_and_Time [3] http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/IG/wiki/Communication#Telcons [4] http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/wiki/Test_Suite_Overview#SVG_1.2_Tiny_Implementation_Report
