The confusing period that occurs twice a year is coming up next week.

Europe changes its clocks back to "winter time" this Sunday, 28 October.

The US changes its clocks back the following Sunday, 4 November.

During the intervening days (while most of us are in Lyon) most
teleconference times on Zakim will appear to be one hour later than
expected in European local time.

If you are in Lyon and schedule adhoc meetings at a specific time next
week either compute the UTC time yourself (Lyon local time minus 1 hour):

  Zakim, room for 4 at 14:00Z?

or compute the Boston time by substracting 5 hours rather than the usual
6 hours from Lyon local time:

  Zakim, room for 4 at 10:00?

Both examples should result in a telecon scheduled at 15h00 (3pm) Lyon
local.
