I have a recurring remote participation problem with the
IETF Meeting Agendas, because it specifies the time of WG meeting slots
in local time (local to the IETF Meeting), but does not give the
local time zone *anywhere*.
I would appreciate if the local time zone indication would be added
like somewhere at the top of the page, to each IETF meeting agenda.
So in this interesting discussion of UTC, Martin has actually made an
excellent point. Having UTC listings for the agenda would be very
helpful, or an alternative agenda showing UTC.
Now available:
http://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/agenda-utc
The agenda that I actually use (and prefer by a significant margin)
is this one: http://tools.ietf.org/agenda/86/
Since I don't live in a DST-less UTC timezone myself, I will have to
convert (for the purpuse of plannying my remote participation) the
listed times in both, the traditional agendas and any agenda that
uses UTC time. I actually prefer the agendas with local time.
The little thing that I would appreciate is really an indication of
the local time zone on *ALL* published agendas. Since the IETF-86
agenda include a code sprint event on Saturday, which as I understand
is still EST(-05:00), while the rest of IETF-86 happens in EDT(-04:00),
so there is no longer a "single" timezone for the entire agenda.
How about adding the timezone info after each day's name?
e.g.:
SATURDAY, March 9, 2013 (EST -05:00)
0930-1800 Code Sprint - Grand Sierra A
SUNDAY, March 10, 2013 (EDT -04:00)
1100-1900 IETF Registration - Caribbean Registration
