[openstack-dev] Warning, entering meeting time confusion zone

This is your semestrial public service announcement.

This Sunday a large chunk of the world will drop DST, while most
countries in North America will not (until November 3). This generally
results in widespread confusion and chaos until things settle a few
weeks later.

Remember *our meetings are all set in UTC time*, which does not observe
any DST. Therefore your favorite meeting time may or may not change next
week.

In doubt, check UTC times on https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings
and convert them to whatever timezone you are in using things like
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?hour=21&min=0&sec=0

First one to miss a meeting will be considered time-impaired and forced
to wear a UTC watch at all times.
