IMHO, the one thing that everyone who lives in a timezone should know is
where they are compared to UTC. Ergo, the meeting times should be set in
UTC and enthusiasts and participants should account for DST.

This also means that when a vote is out on what time (UTC) a meeting is
to take place exactly, enthusiasts and participants need to take into
account their local DST shiftings to see what time is most appropriate
for them.
