Hi Guixers!

I'd like to invite you to a guix packaging meetup this Saturday, May 29 at 14:00 EST (18:00 PM UTC).

We usually talk over at mumble.libremiami.org while pair programming with tmate on a Guix System VPS. 

Here's a mobilizon page with more info on the event:

Thanks for posting the time in UTC. It really makes it much easier for
me to convert to my local timezone. No need to keep track of daylight
savings time and what not! :-)

Regards,
Arun

No prob. Glad that helps.

It was a mistake on my part to mention EST. I meant ET, which is less descriptive.

I've started to use tz to keep track of timezones.

https://github.com/oz/tz

It's a nice cli app written in golang.

I install it with nix package manager currently but I hope to package it for guix soon.

I have this alias for it currently:

alias tz='TZ_LIST="Africa/Nairobi,Europe/Amsterdam" tz'

Maybe, I'll just turn the above alias into a script at some point with cli options/args.

all best,

jgart

Thank you! :-) I was looking for something like this.

I also discovered recently that I can set this in emacs:

(setq display-time-world-list
      '(("Africa/Nairobi" "Nairobi")
        ("Europe/Amsterdam" "Amsterdam")))

and then run `display-time-world`

I have `display-time-world` bound to `<leader> p t` (I'm using emacs-evil-leader package in guix).

all best,

jgart

This is even better since I can use it from within emacs!

Thanks!
