OK, some people are confused about the time aspect for meetings and such, and I don't blame them. There was much confusing info posted here, and although everyone has good intentions, everyone also has a different way of looking at things.

Here is a way that you can get a good idea of the time difference.

First, make note of these instructions, then go HERE (or click the link):
http://www.bsdi.com/date

This site will fist show you the CURRENT time for GMT (or UTC as some call it).

Look at the time, and make note of what time it is now for GMT.

Now look at your clock, (or find a link on the lower part of the screen to give you your time), and then figure out the difference.

It is simple math, since the most the difference in time can be is 12 hours.

Before you go to the CHAT, click on this link and make sure the GMT time is the same as what they said to get together. (In this case GMT 22h)

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Savant
