Oh yeah! Today is the beginning of meeting roulette!

BC (where I am) has not changed it's time. Europe / UK has now fallen back as of yesterday. So +8 / +7 from BC.

And this coming weekend is North American time change. Where BC will be an hour ahead of PT.

My brain hurts already.

Yeah I don’t love that this is wedged into bsky post records and rendered client side.

It “works” but immediately will beg for … longer posts.

Making this a eurosky .codeblock post and attaching it … well, it’s as much work as building tangled strings.

Inline tangled string creation maybe?

If we hit 350-500, then year after 2027 will be roughly double and we need to start planning a year ahead to secure venues.

And! Start planning your 2026 regional confs too!

We’re growing and need to plan for it!
