== OpenSim Standard Time ==

OpenSim is based on [[UTC]] (Coordinated Universal Time) and not SLT (Second Life Time) which is based on PST (Pacific Standard Time). Due to the very nature of OpenSim being a metaverse, UTC was a natural choice due to its use throughout the Earth as the standard starting point for all timezones. Going forward it will be much easier to plan events and use standard toolsets in OpenSim and any metaverses based on it.

-;; Hence, calculating DST based on a different timezone can result in a misleading viewer display and inconsistencies between grids.
-;; By default, this setting uses various timezone names to calculate DST with regards to the viewer's standard PST.
-;; Options are
-;; "none" no DST
-;; "local" use the server's only timezone to calculate DST. This is previous OpenSimulator behaviour.
-;; "America/Los_Angeles;Pacific Standard Time" use these timezone names to look up Daylight savings.
-;; 'America/Los_Angeles' is used on Linux/Mac systems whilst 'Pacific Standard Time' is used on Windows
 DSTZone = "America/Los_Angeles;Pacific Standard Time"
