As most of us are affected by the switch to and from Daylight Savings Time, it affects the time of the monthly IRC meeting. For me, the new time now (standard time) is somewhat less convenient but still very reasonable. If I recall correctly, we picked a time based on UTC to make the time zone math easy, not to avoid DST changes.
How does the time change affect the rest of you? Does it matter at all? This isn't something I'm picky about but know that in the past the meetings have been scheduled during various team member's lunch breaks and other short interruptions to the day, in which case the time change may be more difficult. I'm just looking for opinions about this.
This time is good for me, regardless of daylight saving time. But I agree to change if it's better for someone else.

It's fine for me as it's in the middle of the day anyway. The problem with DST is that it starts differently in different countries (eg. it starts and ends earlier in the Europe than in the US). Not to mention Australia where DST works in the other direction :-).
Anyway we can try to pick other timing which will be fit better to everybody. Still I think using UTC is best fit for us as otherwise it will move even more than for one hour for some team members...

Currently, the meeting time falls in the night (starting at 9 PM or 10 PM depending on DST), which I do not mind. And, I do not mind it being bit earlier, but other way around would be hard for me.

I could not get to this month's meeting both due to forgetting the switch as well as some other commitments that had turned up. I would actually prefer the current time as it allows me to travel back from the office and join the meeting. But I'm open to a change if we opt for it.
Thanks!

Thanks everyone for weighing in on this. Sounds like the current arrangement is ideal, so I see no reason to change anything.
