Europe/Oslo would be the IANA name for mainland Norway (Svalbard and Jan Mayen are in different IANA regions). If you're meeting somewhere at a specific time, you might as well specify that place really precisely (Maybe: Nidaros Cathedral, Trondheim, Norway) and then use that place to infer the proper UTC offset when the date approaches. There's no perfect solution as landmarks, names, &c. can all change.
- codetrotter 3y ago> Europe/Oslo Sorry yeah, this is the one I was thinking of when I said Oslo/Norway. Agree with your other points as well. I guess to increase the long term robustness one could record some additional data: GPS coordinates for the intended event GNSS coordinates using another system such as BDS or GLONASS for the intended event The current time with time zone at the time when the record was created The IANA name of the location where the record was created
