As someone whose time zone will put that at 4 am instead of 3 am (and I 
know there are those who have it worse), sounds good to me :)

But I'm concerned about those who don't always read all the forum posts. 
Should this be asked as a general email to conference-goers?

Doesn't affect me too much, so I guess it's ok as long as 
everyone knows. Might even be worth a big notice on the main 
conference page?

Hmm; my talk's at 3:30pm on Friday (4:30pm after this change), 
which means I'd leave at 5:30pm. My flight out of Berlin is at 
9:30pm; how long does it take to get from the venue to the 
airport? (I'll probably have to skip the last talk of Friday, 
which is a shame.)

Check Google maps. Google maps can even guess how long it will take at the
time you specify.

Aha - if Google Maps is accurate, I have nothing to worry about 
:) For reference, the number it gives me is 37 minutes.

In that case, +1 to starting late; that being said, I feel like 
announcing a sweeping change like this days before the conference 
seems fraught to end poorly.

Yep, by rule of thumb, you should set off at least 1 hour before the
gate closes, maybe an 1h30m just to be safe.  For all the times I've
departed from Tegel, it's always taken about 5-10 minutes to walk from
the bus stop outside to *any* departure gate.  The airport really is
that small.

To give you a small idea, the length of Terminal C (left to right) is
about 100 metres. :-)

I'll take off early on Friday and will miss the last talk, with 
this one hour shift I'll probably miss the last two talks ... But 
hey they'll be recorded right?

Yay, more sleep time!

Also, you can always not shift the schedule for Friday only, or 
shift it only half an hour. On Friday people will probably start 
to be better acclimated to the timezone anyway.
