Let's say the meeting is supposed to take place at 15:00 "wall time" in Sydney on March 30th. Someone changes the DST rules. The meeting still takes place at the specified time. Remember we specify the time at Australia. So far so good.
Usually the time from a new update is released at least a week before the change takes place. So your software might alert you about the time on the same day or the day before of the meeting. Or even half an hour before. Do the calculations at that time of the alert with the newest timezone data. And if the software is up to date with timezone database changes, users in other time zones will be alerted about the correct time. The calculation will be made before the meeting from 15:00 Sydney to whatever other time zone someone might be in.
