I really don't care which one we use but I'd prefer to keep the referenced timezone static. You know, I'm leaning more and more toward UTC. I hate having the meeting move twice a year, but keeping up with the DST changes in different places has to be horrible. Suppose we chose, for example, Central European Time. We would change when we went to DST, then again when they went to DST, then again when they go back, then yet again when we go back. And of course the dates change whenever some legislature or another gets a bright idea. If we pick UTC, then everyone changes twice a year instead of some folks not changing and others changing 4 times, two of which are probably a complete surprise (do you know what date Hungary goes to savings time? Would you remember when that date came?) --McD -- docs mailing list docs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/docs
