Is this tied to true UTC (no daylight savings, so everyone living in a
timezone with daylight savings has to adjust their local start time
twice a year) or to a particular timezone (where some people always have
the same local time, while other unlucky folks might have to adjust
their own start time as many as 4 times a year because of differences
between daylight savings cutoff points)?
Intended to be explicitly tied to UTC to minimize suffering as a whole.
I'm definitely in favor of the idea. However, in my personal
situation,
starting an hour earlier (1400 UTC) would fit a bit better for Thursday
meetings. That's because I generally try to attend Austin Group
teleconferences [the standards body in charge of POSIX] which are also
Thursdays currently at 1500 UTC (but tied to US daylight savings rules);
and my close involvement with POSIX has come in handy for libvirt more
than once. I've got more flexibility if we pick a different day of the
week.
Picking times sucks :-( I picked 1500 UTC since it was the earliest
that is still practical for people in US West Coast, and almost the
latest that is still reasonable for Europeans. We could try to do an
hour earlier or later than this.
So, if we try 1 hour earlier, ie 1400 UTC, Thurs 22nd, does that work for
other people too ?

Daniel
