When storing a past event, always convert it into UTC and store it that way (I knew that). But when storing a future event (esp. if it's more than a year in the future), store it in the local timezone and only convert to UTC on the given day. This way you can properly handle the changes to time zones and/or daylight savings that might happen in the meantime.<p>(via <a href=http://domm.plix.at/perl/2013_08_things_i_learned_at_yapc_europe_2013.html>Domm's blog</a>) 2013-08-16T15:00:05Z
