I believe that pinning them to UTC would actually eliminate the confusion.
Two thoughts...
1) If we do this let's do this for all European-focused windows.
That would be the European mid-day SWAT window and the Train window, to start (there are some other one-off type windows, eg the Portals window, that would probably also make sense to be pinned to non-SF time, but it's up to those individuals/teams).
2) I believe it makes more sense to pin the windows to the human experience time of those who are responsible for doing the window (eg: follows DST/Summer time in Europe). That way the deployment windows continue to stay at the same time relative to people's other meetings (which, some are coordinated with the various deploy (SWAT and Train) windows). That's what we do for all of the rest of the windows (pinned to Pacific/SF time, which changes based on DST) and would then be less of a surprise for everyone.
Based on this map[0] it appears the vast majority of our contributors and deployers live in DST-affected (inflicted? infected? ;-) ) countries.
