Nuts+Bolts devchat: new time

Hey everybody.. we're moving the twice-weekly developer videochats up by
an hour, to make life easier for folks in europe. (the google calendar
entry that zooko managed was tied to UTC, and the transition to daylight
savings time pushed it an hour later for everybody).

We do these Tuesdays and Fridays (mornings in the US, evenings in
Europe).

The new time is:

* 0900 (9am) San Francisco (PDT)
* 1600 UTC
* 1700 (5pm) London (BST)
* 1800 (6pm) Berlin (CEST)
* 2130 (930pm) Mumbai (IST)
* 0400 (4am) Auckland (NZST) (sorry)

In the (northern-hemisphere) "winter", we'll move it forward to 1700 UTC
to keep local times the same. To honor the arbitraryness of time zones,
we'll make the transition on a randomly-selected date using a weighted
average of the local DST rules of the participants. For a long-term fix,
please see https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1934 .

We're using talky.io for the hangouts these days (instead of google)..
seems to work pretty well. The URL is:

See you tomorrow (in about 23 hours).

cheers,
 -Brian
