For me any of the proposed times are OK (will be around lunch time in Brazil).
Best,

(I'm cc'ing the chairs of the ODF Adoption and OIC TC's since they will
face this same issue on their TC's)
I just went to cancel the November 2nd meeting, per our decision on
Monday, and saw that the repeating invite for the TC meetings will expire
at the end of October. We set it to expire at this time so we can adjust
the meeting time to account for the various daylight savings time changes
over the next month .
The changes, as I understand them are:
DST ends:
In Europe on Sunday, October 25th this year.
In the US on Sunday, November 1st.
DST begins:
In Brazil, on Sunday October 17th.
And China does not observe daylight savings time changes.
Current meeting time for the TC has been at:
1400 UTC = 7am West Coast US, 10:00am East Coast US, 4:00pm Hamburg, 10pm
Beijing
What we have done in past years is keep the US time constant, resulting in
a meeting time after the DST changes of:
1500 UTC = 7am West Coast US, 10:00am East Coast US, 4:00pm Hamburg, 11pm
Beijing
Obviously that makes it quite late in Beijing.
The alternative would be to keep the UTC the same, which gives us:
1400 UTC = 6am West Coast US, 9:00am East Coast US, 3:00pm Hamburg, 10pm
Beijing
I know of another TC that solved this problem with a compromise: start the
meeting at 1430.
So three choices for a meeting time:
a) 1400 UTC
b) 1430 UTC
c) 1500 UTC
I don't have a strong preference here, since the globe appears to be
aligned in such a fashion that I will get enough sleep whatever we decide.
Regards,
