Next meeting 19:30 UTC for daylight saving in Central Europe?

DST starts in Central Europe this weekend, so previous practice would have the next meeting at a new time of 19:30 UTC to keep the meeting at 21:30 local time in Central Europe (CEST):

ACTION: Ben to ask affected parties on mailing list.
GeoServer Spring 4 upgrade progress
-----------------------------------
Idea: merging spring 4 branch now, allow for manual testing and some time to allow GeoFence to get back in the fold, then release beta2
A server deployed daily from the master branch, will get the spring4 stuff as soon as we merge:

Minimum Maven version?
----------------------
- Any reason why still building with Maven 3.0.4?
- Kevin concerned about use of properties to track common version numbers
- Ben reports builds fine with 3.3.9
- Agreed to try upgrade to 3.3.9 on ares
- ACTION: Ben to ask Chris to install 3.3.9 on ares
- ACTION: Ben to switch ares Jenkins builds to use 3.3.9
- Leave deploy step alone to avoid problems with unique versions of snapshots?
https://sourceforge.net/p/geotools/mailman/message/30774447/
- Try upgrade and see if anyone complains?
- Wait until after GeoServer 2.8.3 release?
