Daylight saving - Prague is only 8h from California

Daylight saving - Prague is only 8h from California

 
I published an article  Daylight saving time started in Europe this weekend a year ago. There was a week, when Prague was 10h ahead of California. It has changed this year fortunately. We have 2 weeks, when there is just 8h difference. So my very first meeting with folks from US and other locations tomorrow starts at 3pm Prague time! I wish it'd stay even longer, but my favorite timezone converter says it's going to be over ;(

Current changes in daylight saving scheme created a new challenge for IT, similar to Y2K, although not so publicly known. Sun took it pretty seriously, as it could have an impact on users. There is a complete web page on Big Admin portal, summarizing all DST related actions that the administrators or users should do in order to fix software.
