Heads-up if you have calls between Europe and North America next week:
Europe sets its clocks back this Sunday, Oct 25 (01:00 UTC). The US and Canada don't change until Sunday, Nov 1 (2:00 AM local).
For that one week the gap is an hour smaller than usual. Checked against the tz database:
- 15:00 UTC on Sat Oct 24: New York 11:00, London 16:00, Berlin 17:00
- 15:00 UTC on Mon Oct 26: New York 11:00, London 15:00, Berlin 16:00
- 15:00 UTC on Mon Nov 2: New York 10:00, London 15:00, Berlin 16:00
So a 4 PM London meeting is noon in New York from Oct 26 to Oct 30, not 11. Recurring calendar invites usually handle it, but invites set in UTC or typed times in chat won't.
