Re: Meeting schedule, do we need strict UTC?

I've always thought that (1) teams should be free to set their

My $DAYJOB schedule, for example, @3:00pm on a Thursday doesn't change
suddenly in the spring and fall to accommodate UTC.  The same meeting
I had at 3:00pm the week before stays at 3:00pm and moves according to
UTC.

So in short, I'm for staying on human time.  The only time we have to
worry about a difference is when only some people are on DST and not
others. Then there's a chance for confusion, so the meeting page
should set the policy.


For what its worth, IMHO we should go by regular, non-UTC fixed, because I wouldnt want to be at a meeting which was at 23:00.
