Q&A Session with Aaron Hall. (Offline Edition)

Dont get me wrong please, but why cant people specify times in GMT, especially for events that are supposed to be international.

GMT is universal (actually, it equals UTC), independent from Daylight saving and other confusing elements, and as every other timezone is specified as GMT+x, its logical to use GTM when specifying times.

A little help with time zones:
http://www.timeanddate.com/library/a...ons/timezones/

Based on that,
11AM PST (or 11:00 PST) is 19:00GMT (PST = GMT-8)
2PM EST (or 14:00 EST) is (suprisingly) 19:00GMT as well (EST = GMT-5)

6PM PST (or 18:00 PST) is 02:00GMT
same goes for 9PM EST

So the chat will be
19:00GMT - 19:30GMT (friday)
and
02:00GMT - 03:00GMT (saturday)

Because of Daylight saving, most of europe will have to add 1 or 2 hours to that, based on your timezone.

We use WEST (Western European Summer Time), which is GMT+1
and CEST (Central European Summer Time), which is GMT+2
or even EEST (Eastern European Summer Time), which is GMT+3

As Far i know, WEST is only used by Spain and Portugal, and maybe Parts of France
CEST is used by most of Europe, even in Hungary, which is quite far to the east side.

Then again, i do not have the map ahead of me, so i may be wrong. In that case, feel free to correct me.

Hope it helps
