I try to always write "Berlin time", which is hopefully clear enough.

Sure; when would you want that reminder? I already remind people on IRC
1h before the meeting.

I was not aware there is such a wiki page. :-) Seems Bjoern created it
and then it was forgotten.

I just updated both the time and the jitsi link there. There was a
recent request to use TDF's jitsi instance for the calls, so the global
jitsi instance is no longer used.

As far as I know, it's for dogfooding purposes. In the past e.g. Xisco
had a high latency connection which slowed down editing for everyone.
This approach allowed to track down & fix the problem.

Sure, please go ahead with asking. Having more developers who are
interested in (and able to) fix macOS-specific problems would be
awesome.
