Fwd: [chairs] US Daylight Savings Time starts this weekend

[Anish Karmarkar <anish.karmarkar@oracle.com>]

Note that the TC follows the US TZ. For the next few weeks till Europe 
moves to summer time the call will be one hour earlier for those in Europe.

Chairs, sorry for the late notice. I thought that DST in the US started
at the end of the month. My thanks to Martin Chapman who has lived
through this time burp many many times and remembers to keep track of it
lest TC members be attempting to join meetings an hour early or an hour
late.

This should largely sort itself out by March 27th, when most of Europe
resets and we're all back in sync again.

For the complete list of daylight shenanigans, including the growing
list of countries that have decided this makes no practical sense
whatsoever and just leave their clocks alone, see
