Our group is non-technical in nature and there's not a compelling reason to govern by UTC. There's a short span where clocks differ in USA/EU due to DST. But either way a world clock will show you the equivalent time in your zone. Hint: in Workstation, you can add world clocks in the Clocks app, and they'll show up on your GNOME Shell clock/calendar dropdown! -- Paul W.
