7pm PACIFIC TIME ZONE - AUGUST 4TH

That countdown timer, even if set to 7pm won't show it as 7pm pacific time.

No matter where you are, just know that the call is on August 4th, 7pm PACIFIC TIME ZONE (LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA TIME)

skype calls

True,
Unless you have a skype phone number and pay the $30/year for service (may be more - this is with discount). with this you get unlimited local and "in-country"(? depends on your country) long distance...
Thanks,
Patrick

That is the service I actually have - it's great.

I just get credits to call outside of US or Canada and a few cents per minute.

Keyos, it's ok.
Italy have a difference of 9 hours.

BUT, I'm Confused!!!
Aaron, wat's wrong?! banner? thread title?

7am? or 7pm? PDC
Please HELP US!

Yes you are right, i miss read what Aaron said so i tought it moved to 7am but as i said i was wrong, it was just the count down on the banner that was set to 7am (wrong).
Sorry for the mess, so the right time is 7pm.

To sum up:
Los Angeles (U.S.A. - California)
Thursday 4 august 2011, 19.00.00 PDT UTC-7 hours

Venice (Italy)
Friday 5 august 2011, 4.00.00 CEST UTC+2 hours

Corresponding UTC (GMT)
Friday 5 august 2011, 2.00.00

Please tell me if i am wrong again
Thanks for your attention.

Keyos

I may be wrong, but I think you have the time wrong, are you not the same as the UK? Maybe I've messed up my calulations?

With skype, to call a land line, you have to buy credit in advance. It is very inexpensive and should only cost you a few cents per minute.

Check time

Ok, thanks for the fix on the time, so for me (Italy) it's Thursday 4th August at 16:00 local (GMT+1)
I need to have the time confirmed as i'll need to leave my work 2 hours earlier and i would not make a mistake

We have to call at that exact time or earlier?

Thanks for the advice, i'v been checking prices and skype charge me about 1/10 of what would make my local phone company, so i would prefer to call by skype on my pc, but if using skype could cause problems like access dinied, interruptions or connections lost in the middle of the event i don't mind to spend a little more and use regular phone, i never joined conference calls before so i have no experience to make the right choice...

Sorry i got confused me too, so the thread title and the banner text are correct, the right time is 7pm, it's just the counter that is set wrong?

The countdown time is for 7am instead of 7pm, will fix asap!

Aaron, that glitch had me confused this morning when trying to work out what UK time I should use!

For those in the UK, time for call is Friday 5th August at 0300 hrs local (BST).

Keyos, skype is how I have been recommended to call in. As for the language issue, just ask and I am sure others and myself will help to get it explained.

Cheers - wiz

[Keyos]

To bad i was unable to go at r-charge conference, i hope they will make more of them in the future, but i am lucky enought to have found this event so i signed up immediately!
I am from Italy and i am not very good talking english but i'll try to follow what ever you and others will say, i hope there will be no problems for me calling from my country, i would prefer to use skype because i have no idea how much it will cost me using a regular phone but if skype means only trouble like someone said already than i have no doubts to take my dear old phone for the event

Looking forward to the event me too!

[Neight]

If things get crazy - this will be a necessity.

now you REALLY have my attention...
looking forward to it
