OK, let's cut this short: The meeting will be in 2h 25m from now,
i.e., Nov. 14th 2017 20:30 UTC :)

P.S.: the only mistake is golinux putting "14th/15th" and then
"UTC". Nov. 14th 20:30 UTC in unambiguous and correct, and the usual
way in which appointments are traditionally specified on the
Internet. Nov. 15th 20:30 UTC would be 24h after that point, which at
this point is *tomorrow* in any timezone :)
