| nhandler | I haven't seen/heard anything so far (and haven't even seen the supposed publisher). I would assume that nothing has been started, but that might not be the case | 00:18 |

| nhandler | pleia2: You might find this interesting: http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2010/12/event-time-zones-in-google-calendar.html I'll play around with it a bit later and try and figure out how we can use it with the Fridge (i.e. events in UTC to not run into DST problems) | 00:23 |
| pleia2 | nhandler: sweet! | 00:24 |
| pleia2 | hm, does GMT change? | 00:25 |
| nhandler | pleia2: I don't think so, but don't quote me | 00:26 |
| pleia2 | The GMT time zone has never observed Daylight Saving Time. | 00:26 |
| pleia2 | it's still location-based so may be problematic, we need a country on UTC that doesn't observe DST :) | 00:26 |
| nhandler | pleia2: I thought the issue was that if I add the event, I'm adding it in Chicago time, so it messed things up when Chicago changed timezones. I don't think we had problems if the event was added in GMT time (which this new feature allows) | 00:27 |
| pleia2 | it doesn't allow you to add it as a specific GMT time, it allows you to add it based on location :\ | 00:28 |
| pleia2 | so I can add it as London which is currently GMT 00:00 but presumably when DST changes for them, it goes bad | 00:29 |
| pleia2 | Mali in Africa does not have DST and they are 00:00 | 00:31 |
| nhandler | pleia2: That would probably work. I'm a bit surprised they don't allow GMT | 00:32 |
| pleia2 | if they allowed pure +/- GMT calculations it'd be nice, but I think they are trying to be helpful by offering it as location-based | 00:33 |
