[Opensim-users] Timezone Change

[Robert Klein]

Worrying about the ruling timezone does not really impact the smaller
implementations on a localized level in the short term, but looking down the
proverbial road (2-5 years) we will definitely feel the pain. Many of us
will be wanting to roll out business environments and applications to global
audiences that are used to dealing with UTC. People hosting global
conferences and events all use current applications that rely on UTC to some
degree or other. Many people will be coming to the OpenSim metaverse first
through these  events without ever having been to or through SL. We actually
bumped into this issue when using SL but had to work around it since we had
no other choice. I for one am happy we now have the choice to go beyond
Linden Labs framework and begin standardizing in a truly open environment.
