Time Zone Data
by Lovell, Angela June 20, 2007

June 20, 2007

To Whom it may Concern, I would like to review your time zone data for possible use in Garmin GPS devices. Can you tell me if you have polygon data for the time zones across the world? If so, would it be possible to achieve a login name and password for the data? Please let me know if there is anything else I should know regarding this data. Thanks, Angela Lovell _____________________________________________________________ Angela Lovell | Cartography Development Manager | Garmin International Email: angela.lovell(a)garmin.com ------------------------- This e-mail and any attachments may contain confidential material for the sole use of the intended recipient.

DST and cross-border Southern Cross campus (Queensland-NSW border)
by Paul Eggert June 4, 2007

June 4, 2007

Southern Cross University is planning Australia's first cross-border campus, and one of the technical challenges they're facing is that Queensland does not observe DST but New South Wales does. They haven't figured out yet how to schedule classes across the daylight-saving boundary. Classes are scheduled to start 2009.

This news article says that Japan is beginning to comtemplate the idea of introducing daylight saving time. http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/dy/national/20070602TDY01005.htm This is not a done deal but something to keep an eye on. ...Sue

a relevant .NET implementation to be linked to the Time Zone page
by Michael Kariv June 3, 2007

June 3, 2007

Hi, Here is a .NET library that I think should be linked to at the main page http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm The link: http://www.babiej.demon.nl/Tz4Net/main.htm This is how they defined themselves: C# /.NET implementation of timezone class based on Olson database (often called tz or zoneinfo). As opposite to Win32/.NET API, it allows to perform conversion of arbitrary time between arbitrary time zones. Regards Michael Kariv

zone.tab corrections
by Andy McDonald May 31, 2007

May 31, 2007

There seem to be a few minor errors in zone.tab (2007f and earlier): America/Cambridge_Bay: zone.tab latitude/longitude is incorrect, according to http://www.meds-sdmm.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/meds/Prog_Nat/benchmark/single_station2_…, which gives +6907-10504, and my own experiments with Google Earth. Also zone.tab comments should be 'Mountain Time - west Nunavut' rather than 'Central Time - west Nunavut' Antarctica/DumontDUrville: The comment should very probably read 'Dumont d'Urville Station', rather than 'Dumont d'Urville Base', which seems to be a mis-translation of the French 'Base Dumont d'Urville'. See for example http://pdf.comnap.aq/comnap/comnap.nsf/P/StationsByName/FRdumo Pacific/Johnston: latitude/longitude is incorrect. The CIA seems to have it much closer with +1645-16931 (https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/um.html) America/Aruba: latitude/longitude is incorrect. The CIA seems to have it much closer with +1230-06958 (https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/aa.html) - looks like the current +1230-06858 is a typo. Europe/London: (!) latitude/longitude is incorrect - the current value is somewhere in the neighbourhood of Syon House in South-west London (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syon_House) Suggestions for a better value welcome. Ukrainian time zones Europe/Kiev, Europe/Uzhgorod and Europe/Zaporozhye: These might better be named Europe/Kyiv, Europe/Uzhhorod and Europe/Zaporizhia, being transliterations of the Ukrainian - rather than Russian - place-names. Similarly, the comment for Europe/Zaporozhye should perhaps be 'Zaporizhia, E Luhansk', rather than 'Zaporozh'ye, E Lugansk'. See for example http://www.uazone.net/Kiev_Kyiv.html and http://abcnews.go.com/Travel/wireStory?id=2588280. I'm sure I could rustle up references for the other names if pressed.

Vote about South Australia DST
by Jesper Norgaard Welen May 21, 2007

May 21, 2007

Now you can vote for whether you want the new 4 weeks longer DST in South Australia: http://www.safework.sa.gov.au/daylight/index.html ... although I suppose you shouldn't if you don't live in South Australia (I wonder how they check that!). That is also the most official reference I have seen of the new Australian DST in Victoria, New South Wales, Tasmania and the ACT. There most be more?

New Australian DST rules?
by Jesper Norgaard Welen May 19, 2007

May 19, 2007

There is an article that claims that four Australian states will coordinate DST in 2007-2008 from the first Sunday in October until the first Sunday in April. The states are New South Wales, Victoria, Australian Capital Territory, and Tasmania. http://harden.yourguide.com.au/detail.asp?class=national%20news <http://harden.yourguide.com.au/detail.asp?class=national%20news&subclass=ge neral&story_id=575313&category=General> &subclass=general&story_id=575313&category=General This would return all 4 states to the 2006 rules for Tasmania (not applied in 2007, e.g. Tasmania was using Last Sunday in March, not First Sunday in April). I couldn't find any other authoritative information.
