[libreoffice-marketing] for those who have trouble with time zones
Since LibreOffice is International, some people may have trouble with figuring out Time Zones. Just found this site that shows your local time and what time it is in other time zones. Could help some with marketing calls or something else. http://everytimezone.com/ -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to marketing+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
Re: [libreoffice-marketing] for those who have trouble with time zones
Yes, I have that too, once I set my location. The big thing is knowing what time it is in Europe and on the West coast of the USA. With the Eastern Standard time and Daylight Savings time, remembering what our Universal Time offset is a pain. Hawaii is 6 hours behind, California is only 3 hours behind London is 6 hours ahead and Hong Kong is 12 hours ahead. There is Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific time zones in the USA alone if you do not add Hawaii and Alaska into the mix. With the Standard and Savings times, London will be different times over the year. So knowing what time it is in Germany or farther east than that, may be needed by a few. Also, if you live in Europe, you may want to know what time it is in some part of the States. SO some people might like to have a site that will tell you the exact time in a major area of the world. I know that some people on the lists have suggested that.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] for those who have trouble with time zones
Hi :) Yes, i liked the webpage because it showed local time at the top and it was right for where i am right now. It automatically does the calculations for the other places and displays the time there Great stuff :) http://everytimezone.com/ Regards from Tom :) From: webmaster for Kracked Press Productions webmas...@krackedpress.com To: marketing@global.libreoffice.org Sent: Thu, 28 July, 2011 16:56:34 Subject: Re: [libreoffice-marketing] for those who have trouble with time zones Yes, I have that too, once I set my location.
