UTC does not jump around. Writing > "since" is therefore misleading. The fact that the meeting was at > 16:00 UTC is independent of the fact that Europe hasn't changed time. Right. From now until the end of North American DST, the meeting is at 1600 UTC everywhere. :) The difference is whether that's the same *local* time for you as before, or not. If you started daylight savings time during the week before the meeting time change - as most of North America did - then the meeting would be at the same *local* time for you as it was before. If you didn't, then the meeting would be one hour earlier in local time. The easiest thing to do is just run 'date -u' to see what the current UTC time is. The canonical time of Fedora meetings is always given in UTC, and you can always find the current UTC time with that command. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
