@keewis I think this might be 17:30 CET again next time when the daylight saving time has ended in the US

[keewis]

I guess that depends on which time we want to keep constant, PT or UTC. Any thoughts?

[shoyer]

Next week I think Europe and the US will be back in sync with daylight saving time. So both the PT and CET times will be good again?

[keewis]

okay, let's go with that. I'll update the first post, then.

Edit: I removed both CET and UTC, since they might conflict with the time in PT. Writing down the rules of US DST seems a bit verbose? If anyone has a better idea, feel free to comment.

[max-sixty]

You're right to remove the CET & UTC... the Google Cal should update for the relative timezones if people use that.

Any interest in adding this to docs similar to https://docs.dask.org/en/latest/support.html
I'm also fine if it's purpose is just for core devs

[max-sixty]

For sure @raybellwaves !

Is someone able to let us in to the zoom meeting room today?

[jhamman]

Something seems to have changed in our regular Zoom room. For this week, let's use this Zoom link.

@pydata/xarray and others - we're going to cancel the next regularly scheduled meeting (Dec. 22, 2021) so everyone can take a break. We'll be back Jan. 5, 2022.

Just wanted to let you know that the hackmd notes link in the google calendar leads to a 404 (the one at the top of this issue works though). Google also says the calendar url is invalid if I try to add it to my calendar (even though it works in a browser).

[dcherian]

I updated the hackMD link but it requires sign-in to view and I can't change that (@rabernat )

[shoyer]

Can we delete the "Flexible indexes" meeting? It doesn't happen anymore.
