We will be on Summer Time then, so that would mean 22.00 (if I'm not confused again ).
A bit late, but I hope to be there.

Summer time...can't...process...what?

Whatever. I'm marking this on my calendar for sure! It's during Spring vacation, so I should be able to make it - I don't know if I'm busy or not, though.

Sadly, I don't know lots of PHP. Will this focus more on 'how-to' or on 'what' to do?

I think it'll focus on whatever questions people will ask, so it could be either.

[TehYoyo]

Cool...not really a section I'm super interested in, but I'll still probably be there.

That's actually 6am AEST, or 7am AEDST. I'll try to catch this one.

Damn that's confusing. All I know is that it's 7am in Melbourne.

Just to be pedantic, it's actually BST (British Summer Time -- not GMT) here in the UK now. But it will be at 8pm

BST? What's that, GMT+1?

Edit: yes, BST = GMT+1 --> http://www.timeanddate.com/library/a...es/eu/bst.html

So, if it starts at 8pm BST, then it'll be 9pm GMT+2 (that is, where I am).

So the important question is, does it start at 8pm GMT, or 8pm BST ???? Who is right, Sarah or Simon?

If it's at 1 pm PDT, it will be at 8pm BST, I believe (I use everytimezone.com to check -- timezones are confusing!)

[cotsweb]

I'm afraid that I make 1pm PDT = 9pm BST, I think Simon has it wrong.

I checked with 3 different sites and got the same answer every time, wouldn't life be easier without Daylight Saving.

[molona]

Definately, this time thing is confusing but I'll be there.... on time, I hope

[TehYoyo]

....it's 2 PM United States Central Time right now (which is 8:00 PM GMT)

Shouldn't there be a link to the chatroom?

This is why UTC is great. UTC never does daylight savings, unlike GMT. People can keep track of their own UTC offset.
So the fact that most of the east coast of Australia does daylight savings time, and uses AEDST, but not Queensland which stays on AEST all the time wouldn't matter.

UTC FTW!

GMT doesn't either. UTC = GMT (I thought... ). See: http://www.timeanddate.com/library/a...frica/gmt.html

BST is not GMT, it's GMT+1

For the rest I agree with you

There will be as soon as the chat session starts.

There will be as soon as the chat session starts.

Duh, it was last night and I missed it

[TehYoyo]

GMT doesn't either. UTC = GMT (I thought... )

Yeah...I don't understand that either. I think UTC has no daylight savings time or something. I tried reading the wiki page, but it was like "gravitational, lunar, blah blah hurr durr". So I stopped.
