Hi everyone,

In the past, the project meeting used a PDT/PST reference time (11am), which resulted in two DST-related changes every spring and fall e.g. in Europe -- once when the US changed, once when the EU changed.

To make the meeting independent of DST changes, we decided in the last meeting to use a UTC reference time: 6pm/18:00 UTC, which is the same as the (northern hemisphere) summer meeting times.

This will be relevant once your time zone enters/leaves DST, as the meeting will be shifted by one hour if you're in the US, and outside the US, there will no longer be an additional time zone shift due to the US DST change.

The wiki[1] has already been adapted to use UTC meeting times for the timeanddate.com links. The project event calendar[2] has not yet been changed, but we're working on it.
