Some of them are either sims-in-boxes or walled gardens where the sim/grid owner would like to do 'their own thing' with respect to timezone notions.<br><br>But, for the purposes of this discussion, I think we are contemplating those standalones, grids and HyperGrid connections where having everything public in the Metaverse is on the same timezone.<br><br>This has an effect on events, scripts, assets, textures and other. Basically everything where the concept of NOW() is important.<br><br>As we build out our part of the Metaverse with OpenSim, it seems that having a standardized time helps us all and I get the impression that most folks would
favor UTC/GMT as the standard time for the OpenSim Metaverse.<br><br>Charles<br><br><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><font size="2" face="Tahoma"><hr size="1"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">From:</span></b> Robert Klein <rtkwebman@gmail.com><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> opensim-users@lists.berlios.de<br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Monday, January 19, 2009 1:01:06 PM<br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> Re: [Opensim-users] Correcting Metaverse Time<br></font><br>
