I thought about DST and figured the list was long enough as it was.  So maybe treat it as time zone you'll likely be in for the next 8-10 weeks?  Also, I don't think that one hour difference is going to make or break your ability to attend.

It's flawed science, no doubt but should be "good enough".

The survey only mentions a UTC offset. Should we be putting Summer or Winter offsets (for those of us who have DST)?

E.g.

UK == UTC (Winte/GMT)/UTC+1 (Summer/BST)

Eastern == UTC-5 (Winter/EST)/UTC-4 (Summer/EDT)

Pacific == UTC-8 (Winter/PST)/UTC-7 (Summer/PDT)

Here's a survey that can be used to tell everyone which day works best for you and which timezone you're typically in.

The One True Time Zone is surely UTC.

Anyway, may I suggest using doodle.com or similar rather than emails to
a ton of folks, for polls?
