But then… the Doodle is set for the week of the 21st, and DST changes the end of the week in Europe? So what is it then? Actually, it creates problems even in Doodle: my preferences are set to Paris time, if I set it to GMT then it will be valid only for the week of the 21st… This is a mess.

If we really want to set everything on GMT, then please, let us redo the doodle with the week starting on the 28th of March when things are synched up again between the US and Europe. And we should be prepared to go through this exercise again in October when DST ends.

If people are coming primarily from US and Europe, then it is worth fixing it to, say, London, meaning that the timing is fixed except for the period when DST changes asynchronously. I must admit I am not sure how Australia fits into this picture, though, I am afraid it complicates things…
