If it could help us get the time zones right, that would be fabulous.

I've pretty much given up trying to explain that "PST" is not the
local time in San Francisco in the summer, it really does matter, and
Paris is not always nine hours ahead of them, even among technically
savvy people who should know better.

The most reliable I've found at this point is to ask where they are
and the local time the meeting will start, so if the local time and
UTC disagree, it's invariably the UTC that's wrong.

R's,
John

PS: It does not help that products from a large vendor in the Pacific
time zone send out invites that proudly announce that they don't get
the summer time changes right.
