It can be maddening to schedule an online or phone meeting with someone in another time zone, especially with a time change in between. I found a quick way in Google Calendar. It's so simple I almost overlooked it! Next to the time of the appointment is a link to Time Zone. I clicked it and set the meeting to the correct time for my colleague, for example 6:00 pm in Nederlands. It showed up on my calendar as 10 am. Phew!
While we are switching clocks Nov 6th this year, Europe switched on Oct 30. So if we had set our meeting based on the tried and true "What time is it there?" we'd have missed each other next week because my clock will fall back while his stays the same.
