1800 UTC is not 1800 London currently, as we moved to summertime 
(BST) a week or more ago. UTC is (more or less) GMT, as I understand
things. BST is GMT+1hr.

If the telecon is at 1800 UTC then it is 1900 BST, ie. in ~ 90 mins.
If the telecon is at 1800 "London" ie BST, then it's in ~ 30 minutes.

Advice? [time passes]. OK I asked the Zakim bot: it says...

 --- You're inviting Zakim to #swbp (mcclure.w3.org)
 --> Zakim (rrs-bridgg@128.30.52.30) has joined #swbp
 <danbri> zakim, this will be SWBP
 <Zakim> ok, danbri; I see SW_BPD()1:00PM scheduled to start in 23 minutes

So it looks like the telecon will start shortly, ie. that's when our 
booking on the bridge system is allocated. I hope this is what people
were expecting.

ps. I suggest we leave the SKOS/PORT agenda item late in the call, so 
Tom can contribute.
