Timezone changes: Europeans, Asians, etc, beware!

Dear all,

here we go again: our bi-annual mess due to DST changes. The US has switched on DST last week-end; Europe will do it in two weeks. As usual, this may disrupt your meeting times. Remember that, by tradition, almost all the teleconference meetings are established in US time, more specifically in US EST time, and that affects the others. For some of you (Europeans, mostly) this means that the meetings will start an hour earlier for the coming two weeks, and things will be back “in order” in two weeks. For others in India or the Far East the earlier start will remain until the end of US DST in autumn this year. To be very honest, I am not sure how the DST changes (if it does) for Australia or New Zealand, I suspect that the changes will be even more radical (meaning shifts by two hours at some point).

If you are in the US, the only meeting whose time changes is the  “Japanese” EPUB Working Group call, which is established at  JST every other week, and that will stay until the autumn (for Europeans that change will come in two weeks). Otherwise the only thing that will affect you is the possible miss of your European colleagues...

If your calendar relies on the W3C calendar you have nothing else to do than looking at it: it is all automatic...

Cheers

Ivan
