So, is there any chance we can get the change for Brazil in a 2007h, while Venezuela is making up its mind? I'd like to get the change for Brazil into Mac OS X 10.5, and time is running out... Thanks, Deborah On Sep 27, 2007, at 1:34 PM, Paul Eggert wrote:

A more-recent story has Venezuela changing "at midnight of December 31, or the following morning", which is a bit vague, but sounds like the switch is currently planned for at 2008-01-01 00:00 local time. See:
Kiraz Janicke, "Crazy" time change for Venezuela sets clocks back to 1964, <http://www.venezuelanalysis.com/analysis/2645> (2007-09-25).
Reuters reported that the change will occur "in January". It also reported that when Chavez first made the announcement, he told Venezuelans to move their clocks forward, even though that would have put them at -03:30 rather than the desired -04:30. No wonder everybody was confused.
