I think I only got part of my tongue-in-cheek suggestion across :-) The idea was to drop local time altogether and instead use UTC everywhere. Wall clocks would all show UTC. Instead of switching time zones, you'd adapt your schedule as needed and this could be as flexible as you want.
People would just have to get used to having dinner at e.g. 03:00 UTC instead of 8pm [add some timezone here] and you would be able to enjoy sunset at 10:00 UTC in some places. Ain't going to happen, but it would allow people to gain back some more freedom in scheduling their lives. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Experts (#1, Sep 23 2015) >>> Python Projects, Coaching and Consulting ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> Python Database Interfaces ... http://products.egenix.com/ >>> Plone/Zope Database Interfaces ... http://zope.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ 2015-09-14: Released mxODBC Plone/Zope DA 2.2.3 http://egenix.com/go84 2015-09-26: Python Meeting Duesseldorf Sprint 2015 3 days to go 2015-10-21: Python Meeting Duesseldorf ... 28 days to go eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
