I assume that the time is in Germany time zone, so 10:00 GMT+2? Is that correct?

I am asking since I have noticed some events in English from UR in the past the time was in US Pacific time zone.

I will attend, but my German might be a little bit forgotten.
In the invitation there is another date on 7th December, why is that?

for those guys who would like to attend and german is not their language:

  • i will finish the german explanation first
  • please use the same teams link to join
  • i will present it again in english at round about 10:45 AM GMT +2

There might be some Q/A so I would like to start at 10:45 AM GMT +2 in English

Thanks Dasa. I got it working eventually. I had to rearrange one of the DUTs because of a problem with the endianness. The github made it way easier thank you very much for it.
