Re: Timezone management for our community
Martin Bührlen
Dear all,
I support the idea, I also had a time zone confusion once.
there is another service, which I have used, which allows the selection of even more time zones than TimeBuddy (other than that it is very similar):
https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meeting.html
One additional option is to have the time zone correctly specified in the iCal attachment, which allows us to add it to our calendars in an automatic way.
kind regards
Martin

It’s a great idea (and I use this service all the time on my phone), but some people wanted timezone information inside emails. So we used the current format… 🤷 In Europe we often *only* provide UTC and a link to something like Timebuddy. However, we tried and had questions from people about what that meant in their timezone. 🤦♂️ I see three possible solutions right now: 1) we do not change anything 2) we only provide UTC and a link to Timebuddy 3) we name the country of the timezone The last one would seem to solve all problems but it would make email subjects incredibly long. Example: OpenChain Regular Webinar: GPLv3 - 06:00 United States Pacific, 14:00 UTC, 15:00 Belgium, 19:30 Mumbai, 22:00 China, 23:00 Korea and Japan Regards Shane Shane Coughlan OpenChain General Manager +818040358083 Book a meeting: https://meetings.hubspot.com/scoughlanOn Mar 9, 2022, at 12:55, Norio Kobota <norio.kobota@...> wrote: Hi Shane, How about using the following service together? https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/ Best, -- kobota-----Original Message----- From: main@... <main@...> On Behalf Of Shane Coughlan Sent: Wednesday, March 9, 2022 12:48 PM To: OpenChain Main <main@...> Subject: [openchain] Timezone management for our community Dear all We have a community spanning three continents and a constant stream of meetings. To manage this we usually publish meeting times in Pacific Standard Time (PST), Universal Time Coordinated (UTC), Central European Time (CET), India Standard Time (IST), China Standard Time (CST), Korea Standard Time (KST) and Japan Standard Time (JST). However, an area of potential confusion has been flagged. The United States has a seasonal timezone called Central Summer Time, and they frequently use the abbreviation (CST), a direct overlap with China Standard Time. How would you like to see us resolve this to reduce the potential for confusion?
