Most all networks and countries who provide communication services have standardized for decades on the use of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) for both date and time .... Yes, SecondLife was developed in silicon valley in califronia, however both date and time should be GMT (UTC) (ZULU) time so that everyone is using the same clock and calendar for secondlife interaction and event planning ... Under the use of LInden time, planning events can be very confusing and people get the dates incorrectly and show up on the wrong day even if their time was correct .... Let's adopt GMT for both time and date !!!! .. Marlena
