FW: Re coming Russian-Belarusian-Ukrainian timezone change
by Olson, Arthur David (NIH/NCI) [E] Sept. 22, 2011

Sept. 22, 2011

I'm forwarding this message from Yury Tarasievich, who is not on the time zone mailing list. Those of you who are on the list, please direct replies appropriately. --ado -----Original Message----- From: Yury Tarasievich [mailto:yury.tarasievich@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, September 22, 2011 12:24 To: tz(a)lecserver.nci.nih.gov Subject: Re coming Russian-Belarusian-Ukrainian timezone change Hello, They say that for denoting the new timezone there's FET (further-eastern european time) proposal in the works, but this seems Very Bad and Confusing English to me. Please consider denoting the new timezone as EEFT (East European Forward Time) -> minimal changes in abbreviature and mnemonic, clear semantic. Better English, too. -Yury

America/Sitka LMT bug
by Zefram Sept. 22, 2011

Sept. 22, 2011

I noticed this recent addition to the database: |Zone America/Sitka -14:58:47 - LMT 1867 Oct 18 | -9:01:13 - LMT 1900 Aug 20 12:00 | -8:00 - PST 1942 ... For local mean time to jump by 5.6 hours, implying that the city jumped 89 degrees to the east, would be a neat trick. Obviously the first offset is meant to be +14:58:47, and the city jumped by 24 hours or 360 degrees, crossing the IDL. -zefram

updated changes--Belarus, Newfoundland, Palestine, Ukraine, west Russia
by Arthur David Olson Sept. 21, 2011

Sept. 21, 2011

Below are updated proposed changes to the time zone package; the summary: asia Palestine suspends DST during Ramadan in 2011; Gaza and Hebron split in 2011, leading to a new Asia/Hebron zone (thanks to Steffen Thorsen and Alexander Krivenshev). (The different end of DST in Gaza and Hebron in 2008 is also reflected.) europe Belarus adopts permanent DST in 2011 (thanks to Yauhen Kharuzhy, Alexander Bokovoy, Alexander Krivenyshev, and Kirill A. Shutemov). Ukraine adopts permanent DST in 2011 (thanks to Alexander Krivenyshev). "Russia" rules changed to reflect end of use in 2010. "FET" used as abbreviation for Belarus, Ukraine, and western Russia (thanks to Paul Eggert). Also: a comment typo is fixed. northamerica Updated comment on Newfoundland's 2011 change of time of day when DST starts and ends (thanks to Michael Pelley). zone.tab New Asia/Hebron zone (thanks to Alexander Krivenshev). I still hope to update the ftp site on 2011-09-26. --ado diff -r -c old/asia new/asia *** old/asia Sat Sep 3 08:28:37 2011 --- new/asia Tue Sep 20 17:54:03 2011 *************** *** 1,4 **** ! # @(#)asia 8.65 # This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of # 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson. --- 1,4 ---- ! # @(#)asia 8.68 # This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of # 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson. *************** *** 2194,2200 **** --- 2194,2230 ---- # http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/westbank-gaza-end-dst-2010.html # </a> + # From Steffen Thorsen (2011-08-26): + # Gaza and the West Bank did go back to standard time in the beginning of + # August, and will now enter daylight saving time again on 2011-08-30 + # 00:00 (so two periods of DST in 2011).

Ukraine adopts UTC+3 year-round
by Tim Parenti Sept. 20, 2011

Sept. 20, 2011

While I support any effort to create a "unified" abbreviation designation for the new UTC+3 year-round zone to be observed by Belarus and Ukraine (and perhaps even Kaliningrad), I don't think that using "EEST" year-round is necessarily a good idea, especially for zones which are geographically contiguous to others that will be shifting back to EET in October. The similarities in designation could cause confusion in border regions. Furthermore, continuing to call the time "Summer Time" through the winter doesn't make any sense, especially if we're codifying the new zone as UTC+3+0 (standard offset year-round), rather than UTC+2+1, which it seems we are indeed doing. That said, I don't have any better suggestions for a unified designation off the top of my head. I think "UAT" would serve decently for Ukraine's four tz zones, at least unless and until something more "unifying" can be devised. -- Tim Parenti On Tue, Sep 20, 2011 at 09:12, Alexander Bokovoy <abokovoy(a)redhat.com>wrote: > According to > http://w1.c1.rada.gov.ua/pls/zweb_n/webproc4_1?id=&pf3511=40036 > > Ukraine has adopted permanent DST today, September 20th. > > It means we would actually benefit from keeping EEST for Belarus and > Ukraine. >
