That's my recollection as well, and what the calendar should say.

I did set the event up to be at 17:00 UTC, and I'm not sure why it showed up otherwise for you. I have now updated the event with a few more details, including that it is happening at 17:00 UTC, and added that information to the title as well. Hope that helps! Also replying to your last question in https://github.com/git/git.github.io/issues/394#issuecomment-535030810: > Also given Dscho's comment at the summit about late evenings, are we > changing the time for those dark winter nights soon to come (N > Hemisphere)? I don't know. I'd be happy to keep it at 17:00 UTC, but that might be a bit early for folks living on the west coast. I don't have a strong opinion on this, but I'm happy to update the calendar (or not depending on what we decide) once the decision is made. > Philip > > > [1] https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=nk8ph2kh4p5tgfcctb8i7dm6d4%40group.calendar.google.com >
