3 - Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)

Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), also known as Zulu time, is the international standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. It is essentially a successor to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). UTC has the time zone offset of +00:00 and does not change for daylight saving. All international time zones are relative to UTC.

Stroom currently works internally in UTC, though it is possible to change the display time zone via User Preferences to display times in another time zone.
