I need to track all datetime in GMT(UTC) I think. My goal is to have all the submitted jobs based in GMT. As the uses login they will see they job in their (user preference) time zone. My assumptions are:
I will need to create a function(something) to convert the GMT to the proper timezone per record.
I will need to check if the users timezone is currently using summer time or daylight savings time.
I will need some table to bang against to track the differences of timezones and Daylight savings time.

I have seen Taras post.

Anybody doing this? Anybody have any other ways? Can you point me in the right direction? What about a good source for all timezones, differences, summertime, daylight etc?

Thanks
