  1. So for the next week.... my meetings with North America will be 1 hour earlier? And then revert to what they were before?

    DST is a menace. Abolish DST!

  2. The US began daylight saving time (DST) yesterday.

    Europe does not start DST until March 30.

    So begins the 3 weeks of recurring meeting calendar collisions for teams spread across the US and EU who didn’t pin the meetings to UTC.

  3. Timely reminder when communicating time zones:

    The US east coast is now on EDT (Eastern Daylight Time)—not EST (Eastern Standard Time).

    Use EDT when you mean NYC time—until it falls back to EST on November 2.

    Several countries (Jamaica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru) and parts of countries (Mexico, Brasil) are always on EST because they do not observe daylight saving time.
