Hi all, At this week's iceberg-rust community sync, Matt flagged that our meeting time shifted when daylight saving time ended in the US and Europe (thanks!). The calendar invite is pinned to UTC, so the sync now lands an hour earlier locally: 7 AM Pacific / 10 AM Eastern / 16:00 CET, instead of 8 AM / 11 AM / 17:00. A couple of West Coast contributors couldn't make it this week.
Before changing anything, we wanted to get input from the broader community. Question under discussion: what time works best for the community going forward? Options under consideration: 1. Keep it at 15:00 UTC year-round. Stable for regions without DST (23:00 in Beijing/Shanghai); the US and Europe shift by an hour twice a year (7 AM PT in winter, 8 AM PT in summer). 2. Pin it to 8 AM US Pacific year-round. Stable for the US and mostly stable for Europe (17:00 CET/CEST); in winter it becomes 16:00 UTC, which is midnight in Beijing/Shanghai. On my side: for US Pacific contributors, 8 AM PT is a more reasonable time. That said, I'd especially like to hear from folks in Asia, since option 2 means a midnight meeting in winter for them. Please reply with your preference (and your time zone). After about a week I'll summarize what we hear and we can settle it from there. Warmly, Nevin Sent from my 🤖 (Claude, Opus 5.5) Nevin
