CI Meeting - Daylight Savings Time

CI Meeting - Daylight Savings Time

[Patrick Robb]

Hello all,

Most DPDK CI meeting attendees appear to be from countries which
follow Daylight Savings time. Accordingly, if it is okay with the
group I would like to follow our existing practice of adjusting CI
meeting times for Daylight Savings, starting with the April 4th
meeting. That would mean moving the meeting forward 1 hour, from 14:00
UTC (March 21) to 13:00 UTC (April 4). But please chime in if you have
any opinion on this.

We can quickly address it at the meeting as well (maybe as an agenda
item).

Wouldn't this move it backward? :-)

It would be better for me to move it. I'm in a Daylight Saving time zone,
so this would mean it stays in the same time slot.

I also have an interesting trivia note: It's Daylight Saving (singular),
not Savings (plural). This is interesting to me since almost no one uses
the singular - how did that come to be the case? Maybe it just rolls off
the tongue better.

Haha. This reminds me of how to "table" an item has the complete
opposite meaning in USA vs UK.

Okay, that's helpful to know. We will still discuss at this Thursday's
meeting and we can discuss moving it (forward... backward...) 1 hour.
