From Wikipedia (which I believe) *Central European Time* (*CET*), used in most of Europe<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe>, is one of the names of the time zone<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_zone>that is 1 hour ahead of Coordinated Universal Time <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time>(UTC)/Greenwich Mean Time <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenwich_Mean_Time>, with a time offset <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_offset> of UTC+1<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTC%2B1>/GMT+1 (in winter). Most EU member states have adopted the use of Central European Summer Time<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_European_Summer_Time>(CEST) daylight saving time <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time> in summer, with UTC+2 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTC%2B2>. Several of us wasted an hour yesterday on OKCon yesterday because the time zone was given wrongly. I think we should only use UTC for OKF meetings :-) So what is actually the time of the meeting. -- Peter Murray-Rust Reader in Molecular Informatics Unilever Centre, Dep.
