@pancakescon for certainty is that 2025-09-21 as of AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time), UTC+10?

It’s a Sunday, so looks scheduled to be Saturday (2025-09-20) in the former PancakesCon timezone and Sunday in UTC+N land 🤔

@ewenmcneill @pancakescon I love that you think I can't do both

@hacks4pancakes @pancakescon

So it’s Sunday 2025-09-21 AEST (Melbourne, UTC+10) *and* Sunday 2025-09-21 CDT (Chicago; UTC-5)… for a 2 day online conference?!

(That question is something of a joke. The previous question of whether the Sunday 2025-09-21 was Australian time was serious, as it’d be a new timezone for the conference but match your new local timezone. If it is AEST, those in North America will need to be reminded to attend on Saturday; if not AU/NZ attend on Monday 🤔)

@ewenmcneill @pancakescon I’m going to run the con both in an Aus and US friendly time zone. It will run longer. Please stand by.
