Brazil summer time its wrong.
by Vitor de Matos Carvalho Oct. 13, 2002

Oct. 13, 2002

Hi... :)) I am not sending the archive: southamerica because I do not know right as it functions. I am only sending this email to notify of that today in day 13 of October of 2002 some operational systems as FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD RedHat, Linux Conectiva, Debian, and others, are started to define this date of today as the beginning of Brazil summer time. This date is missed, the beginning of Brazil summer time is defined to have beginning: >From zero hour of day 3 of November of 2002, until zero hour of day 16 >of February of 2003, it will invigorate the summer hour, in part of the Brazilian Domestic territory, advanced in sixty minutes in relation to the legal hour. The states that will be enclosed in summer teams are: States of the Rio Grande Do Sul, Santa Catarina, Paraná, São Paulo, Rio De Janeiro, Espirito Santo, Minas Gerais, Goiás, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Tocantins, Bahia and in the Federal District Any doubt can be consulted by the official page of the Presidency of the Republic. http://www.planalto.gov.br/ccivil_03/decreto/2002/D4399.htm Regards, Vitor de Matos Carvalho System Network Administrator - Softinfo Network FreeBSD - The Power To Serve

proposed tz changes for Brazil, East Timor, etc.
by Paul Eggert Oct. 11, 2002

Oct. 11, 2002

It's getting to be that time of year again. Here is a list of proposed changes to the tz data. The most urgent change is for Brazil, since the tz2002c is incorrect starting this weekend. The following change affects the time zone data proper: * Contrary to tz2000c, Brazil does _not_ change its clocks this weekend. Instead, it does so on November 3. (Thanks to Celso Doria via David Madeo.) The Brazilian web site <http://pcdsh01.on.br/DecHV.html> does not have the new decree yet, so for now I'll guess that the set of states observing DST has not changed. The following change affects time zone setup, but not the time zone data proper: * East Timor's country code changed from TP to TL. The following changes are commentary only: * This year's time zone change in Israel that didn't happen. (Thanks to Ephraim Silverberg.) * The time zone situation in Madura, Mundrabilla and Eucla, Australia. (Thanks to Rives McDow.) * Typographical error fixed for Argentina time zone offset in comment. * Many updates to tz-link.htm, principally to reflect other web pages that have moved or vanished. Thanks again to everyone who has contributed, and my apologies if I've lost changes (please send them again!). =================================================================== RCS file: RCS/asia,v retrieving revision 2002.3 retrieving revision 2002.3.1.1 diff -pu -r2002.3 -r2002.3.1.1 --- asia 2002/04/04 16:55:19 2002.3 +++ asia 2002/10/10 22:59:59 2002.3.1.1 @@ -727,6 +727,46 @@ Zone Asia/Jerusalem 2:20:56 - LMT 1880 2:20:40 - JMT 1918 # Jerusalem Mean Time? 2:00 Zion I%sT +# From Ephraim Silverberg (2002-07-07): +# +# The Israeli government today adopted a proposal by Minister of +Interior # Eli Yishai to shorten the period of Daylight Savings Time +for the year # 2002 (only -- the dates for 2003 and 2004 are, so far, +unaffected). # # The proposed date to Daylight Savings Time is +September 13, 2002 instead # of the current date: October 7, 2002.

What do EET, EEST, CET, and CEST stand for? (I'm > guessing the S is for standard, the first E for east, the C for central. > But what is the inner E for?) In that context "ET" stands for "European Time", and "EST" stands for "European Summer Time". This is explained in the "europe" file. It does seem a bit odd that time in northern Africa is called "European time", but that's what the first contributors submitted many years ago, and we haven't had anyone tell us otherwise since then.

I'm including the commentary from one of my colleagues in our Sao Paulo office. According to 2002c, it is supposed to switch this weekend. dmadeo Celso Doria wrote: ------------------ Yesterday, the local Brazilian authorities signed a decree stating that the Brazilian daylight saving period will start on November 3rd 2002 and will last until February 16th 2003. So, clocks will be set one hour forward on November 3rd (12:00 a.m. will be changed to 1:00 a.m.) and at midnight (0:00 am) on February 16th, Brazil will adjust its clocks back one hour (23:00 pm on Feb 15th) marking the end. The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil. Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President, Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will take place on October 27th. The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM , the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the Constitution (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change the clock)... --9B095B5ADSN=_01C26C104316946800007CAAnamail.converse.-- Return-Path: <> Received: from namail.converse.com (host162.converse.com [208.255.90.162] (may be forged)) by lecserver.nci.nih.gov (8.12.3/8.12.3) with ESMTP id g9ADeDwe019352 for <tz-request(a)lecserver.nci.nih.gov>; Thu, 10 Oct 2002 09:40:13 -0400 (EDT) From: postmaster(a)converse.com To: tz-request(a)lecserver.nci.nih.gov Date: Thu, 10 Oct 2002 09:27:01 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/report; report-type=delivery-status; boundary="9B095B5ADSN=_01C26C104316946800007CC1namail.converse."

In that context "ET" stands for "European Time", and "EST" stands for "European Summer Time". This is explained in the "europe" file. It does seem a bit odd that time in northern Africa is called "European time", but that's what the first contributors submitted many years ago, and we haven't had anyone tell us otherwise since then.

FW: Brazil - you guessed it, that time of year again
by Olson, Arthur David (NIH/NCI) Oct. 10, 2002

Oct. 10, 2002

-----Original Message----- From: David.Madeo(a)morganstanley.com [mailto:David.Madeo@morganstanley.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 09, 2002 9:51 PM To: tz(a)lecserver.nci.nih.gov Subject: Brazil - you guessed it, that time of year again I haven't seen any updates about Brazil on the list yet this year. I'm including the commentary from one of my colleagues in our Sao Paulo office. According to 2002c, it is supposed to switch this weekend. dmadeo Celso Doria wrote: ------------------ Yesterday, the local Brazilian authorities signed a decree stating that the Brazilian daylight saving period will start on November 3rd 2002 and will last until February 16th 2003. So, clocks will be set one hour forward on November 3rd (12:00 a.m. will be changed to 1:00 a.m.) and at midnight (0:00 am) on February 16th, Brazil will adjust its clocks back one hour (23:00 pm on Feb 15th) marking the end. The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil. Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President, Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will take place on October 27th. The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM , the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the Constitution (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change the clock)...

Brazil - you guessed it, that time of year again
by David.Madeo＠morganstanley.com Oct. 9, 2002

Oct. 9, 2002

I haven't seen any updates about Brazil on the list yet this year. I'm including the commentary from one of my colleagues in our Sao Paulo office. According to 2002c, it is supposed to switch this weekend. dmadeo Celso Doria wrote: ------------------ Yesterday, the local Brazilian authorities signed a decree stating that the Brazilian daylight saving period will start on November 3rd 2002 and will last until February 16th 2003. So, clocks will be set one hour forward on November 3rd (12:00 a.m. will be changed to 1:00 a.m.) and at midnight (0:00 am) on February 16th, Brazil will adjust its clocks back one hour (23:00 pm on Feb 15th) marking the end. The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil. Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President, Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will take place on October 27th.

What do EET, EEST, CET, and CEST stand for? (I'm > guessing the S is for standard, the first E for east, the C for central. > But what is the inner E for?) In that context "ET" stands for "European Time", and "EST" stands for "European Summer Time". This is explained in the "europe" file. It does seem a bit odd that time in northern Africa is called "European time", but that's what the first contributors submitted many years ago, and we haven't had anyone tell us otherwise since then.

Re: Update: Proposed Shortening of Daylight Savings Time [Israel 2002]
by Ephraim Silverberg July 24, 2002

July 24, 2002

Thanks go to Yitschak Goldberg from E&M for bringing this (Hebrew) article to my attention: http://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-2019315,00.html. Hence, the proposal to shorten DST was withdrawn yesterday and the timezone files that have been in effect since July 2000 are still valid for all of 2002. Please note that the article mentions that the Shas MK's intend to bring up their amendment for future years (2003 and beyond). What this means exactly is anyone's guess since there are no set dates yet beyond 2004 and the end day set for 2003 and 2004 is already the 7th of Tishrei (i.e. before the fast of Yom Kippur). The only thing they may want to change is the start date of DST in 2003 from Mar.28.03 (24th of Adar II) to Apr.18.03 (16th of Nisan) so that the Passover Seder will take place during Standard Time. The start date for 2004 is already Nisan 16th.
