RE: [wsrm] Time slot for Bi-weekly WSRM Teleconference Meetings

["Furniss, Peter" <Peter.Furniss@choreology.com>]

I'm also in the UK.

To be pedantic, the UK is on UTC in winter, UTC+1 in the summer. EST is
always UTC-5, but the Eastern US goes to EDT = UTC-4 in the summer.
Summer starts a week later in the US, but winter starts at the same
time.

(of course, the distinction summer/winter above is itself parochial,
since I'm referring to northern hemisphere seasons).

Fortunately, we don't have a meeting this week, when the US is an hour
later than it usually is.

Actually, the current time isn't that bad for me, though I wouldn't want
it to be any later.
