Silly timezones - I even went to the blog a couple times this year, but didn't
figure out what the time should be.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Countdown
Can we do something like this at the FSF Directory main page to show people how
many days and hours are left until the next meeting? This requires doing
something like this:
1) installing the Lua extension
(http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Scribunto)
2) copying http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module:Countdown
3) copying http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Countdown
4) inserting something like
{{countdown|year=2015|month=06|day=01|hour=??|event=the next FSF directory
meeting}} to the Main Page, where month and day are fixed as appropriate, and
the hour is in UTC+0 (didn't check - this is per the template documentation,
though).
5) having someone update the day and month in (4) every week
